I am selling my 1971 K-20 custom deluxe.  This truck is an excellent driver and I have taken it on very long trips and aside from getting terrible gas mileage and not having AC, the truck drives without issue.

Here is what I have done to the truck recently:

New grille, bumper, and turn signal lenses
New steering linkage and steering gear
New front and rear shocks
New tires (cooper AT3s) at 95%+
Replaced driver's side rocker panel
New dash bezel, seat cover, dash pad, and "rubber" carpet
New windshield
New radiator
New rear wheel bearings and new brakes
New battery

Carburetor was rebuilt by me and the truck runs great.  The carb is not original, but I do have the original quadrajet.  Was going to rebuild it but never got the chance.  At some point this was upgraded to an HEI distributor.

The truck has a couple auxillary fuel tanks that were added by some previous owner.  I removed the filler neck from the passenger side and butt welded a patch in the hole.  There was also a big CB antenna where holes were drilled through the cab and I butt welded a patch here too.

This truck originally had both upper and lower molding, but you can see most of it is missing.  I believe this truck used to haul a camper, hence the missing trim and camper tie down hook provisions.  I do have almost all of the NEW replacement trim I kept aside, with intentions on painting the truck but never did.  This truck did not come with a radio.  There is no hole in the cowl for an antenna and the original radio delete plate is present to block the hole.

The negatives on this truck - it needs a choke, and the washer motor pump needs replaced.  It does have a dent in the top of the tailgate.  There are a few other small dings from over the years but none would be difficult to repair if you wanted to paint this.  The cigar lighter does not work.  it simply needs the wire which runs from the back of the lighter element to the fuse block.  Somebody had put in an aftermarket temp gauge into this truck and I broke the capillary line so that will need repaired or the temp gauge will not work.  Truck does not overheat, however.  I have an original gauge pod to put in the cluster.

The 4 wheel drive works great.  This has an open diff with (I believe) dana 44 front and the heavy Eaton rear.  At some stage, someone upgraded the front hubs to Warn.  The engine was rebuilt by the guy I bought it from some years ago. (I have a receipt somewhere) I have no idea on the mileage of this but I would assume it is whatever the odometer says plus 100,000.

If you would like photos of anything in particular, please message me.  I can also take videos of the truck running if needed.  As I stated, it runs and drives great, and I would drive it anywhere. (OK maybe not with gas at 4.00/gal!)

Truck was built in Fremont, CA and sold new at Joe Romania Chevrolet.  I have the paperwork for this truck.

I am perfectly willing to drive the truck to meet your shipper if that is to be your mode of transportation.  It has current tags and is insured.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
