1964 Short Bed Fleet Side Big Window California Truck Original Metel on 2040-cars

Location:

Lincoln, California, United States

Lincoln, California, United States

This is a Very Nice Chevy truck. Big widow, Short bed Fleet side. With the original aluminum grill and chrome front bumper. Has later style rear chrome bumper that looks very nice and is a lot stronger than original.  Original black and yellow plates. Currently registered and insured in my name. It was parked inside a shop in the LA area in 1992. It sat there dry and protected from the elements untill I bought it on ebay in 2012. The motor was frozen (it was a 1972 350) and it had the stock suspension on it. So I removed everything and upgraded to the following. And I still have the original front suspension if you want it.  

 Newer Drive train from my 1992 Chevy Caprice That was really owned by a little old lady. I used all the accessories and brackets from the 1992. I replaced every gasket and seal when the motor was out. I also installed all new motor mounts and transmission mounts. New water pump. New alternator. Rebuilt HEI distributor with new Plug wires and AC Delco plugs. New Edelbrock aluminum intake. Rochester carburator. New chrome valve covers and Air cleaner. New temperature sending unit. New heater hoses. New radiator hoses. New electric fuel pump. New electric radiator fan with temp relay. All new wiring with seperate fuses. All the gauges work like they should. 

The bed. It is super straight and rust free. Still has the original wood. It was painted with spatter paint about 25 years ago and needs repainted. But the wood is still good. 

The guy before me installed extra gas tanks under the body and did a very nice job. He frenched in the gas tank caps into the bed and did a clean job on that too. I am not using them. I installed a new sending unit in the original gas tank and cleaned it out before installing it behind the seat like it was from the factory.

The drive train has New 90wt rear end oil and gasket. New drive shaft with new u-joints balanced. New tranny pan gasket and filter and flued.  New torq converter lock up  kit with relay. 

The Brakes have all new rubber hoses related. New master brake cylinder. New fluid. They work great. 

Steering. New power steering pump. New p/s hoses. New Fluid. New alignment. Steering wheel sits straight the truck goes down the road nice.   Even the turn signals turn off after turns like it should. 

The motor and tranny only have about 110,000 miles on them. It starts up every time hot or cold. Has never leaked a drop of anything since I installed them about 3000 miles ago.  

This truck is not what I consider a show truck. But it really gets a lot of attention. And I have used it in 3 parades and always get thumbs up.  It has had one paint job on it and that was done about 25 years ago. It Shines very nice but I found a few places that have rust. Both fender bottoms and the left bottom cab corner. I took good pictures of them . When I removed the original floor mat. There was some small spots of rust by the door sill about the size of a pencil.. so I put P.O.R.15 on the areas that needed it. There was also a small hole under the heater about 2-3 inches around. I sealed it also. The rest of the floor is the original metal and factory paint. The hood got a bad scratch in it from my garage door opener. I took a picture of that too. The under side has most of its original under coating on it. 

The only things it still needs is the speedo hooked up. And the A/C was blowing cold until the freon leaked out the compressor seal last week. So you will need a rebuilt compressor for a 1992 caprice. Also the sun roof leaks. I have a roof from another truck if you want to go back original. I am sure I forgot something so 

Truck is located in Lincoln, California. 95648.

Buyer is responsible for shipping.

This truck is over 45 years old and may have some things needing attention. It is sold as is. Recommend having a 3rd party do an inspection for the buyer to get his or her own personal opinion before bidding. 

PLEASE ask any questions before bidding. 

PLEASE READ ENTIRE AD BEFORE CALLING. Thanks Scott 916-521-8943

The reason I am selling it is to buy a 1967 convertible mustang.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
