It's with a little sadness that I am putting my 1972 Chevrolet C20 Pickup Truck up for sale.

This truck has served me well and deserves a good home. You will be only the third owner of this vehicle, as I purchased it from the original owner a little over two years ago.  
Prior to my ownership the truck spent the entirety of its life outside of Bellingham, WA where it was a farm truck. Over the past ten years it was then stored in in a garage as the 
original owner was in poor health.  After moving the owner to a nursing home, his son brought it to Oregon City, where I obtained it. 
It currently resides in Portland, OR.  It is my second car, and is garaged most of the time.  I drive it 1-2 times a week, only in dry sunny conditions.

ENGINE//DRIVETRAIN

The drivetrain is the 292 Inline six, mated to a three-on-the-tree column shift.  
The engine is quiet and smooth, though the Rochester carb should be tuned or rebuilt as it runs a bit rich. The transmission works perfectly and shifts cleanly. I have performed the following maintenance items in the past two years:

Oil Changes/air filter change
Replace cap, rotor, wires and plugs.
Replace Ignition coil
Replace water pump after noticing a small leak from the gasket. Original water pump included (still works).


BODY

The body is in fair condition, but the paint is surprisingly vibrant for its age.  There is one spot of rust damage beneath the passenger door that should probably be repaired, and I have provided pictures to 
show it's condition.  The good thing is that that piece is fairly small and very inexpensive, and the rust does not show through the sill.

At some point in its life the bedside on the driver's side was deeply dented, though the paint is still intact.  The bed itself has the original wood-slat floor, but this is deteriorating and should
be replaced.  In the meantime there are custom fitted plywood panels that cover the original bed and provide a firm, solid surface.

Lastly, the rear bumper has sustained a dent and the chrome around the taillight could be replaced.  I have that part but have never installed it. It will be included with the sale.

WHEELS/TIRES

The tires are well beyond their natural life and need replacing.  
The wheels are nearly rust free and straight, no wobbling or vibrations. For some reason the passenger front wheel cover is off the later '73-87 models, but the wheel is original.  
There is a full size spare with tire under the bed, but the condition is unknown.  I've never had to take it down.


INTERIOR

This C20 has the Cheyenne trim package, which is rare for such a base level vehicle (it was custom ordered this way by the original owner). It includes the "wood" trim pieces and unique vinyl seating.
The seats unfortunately have some cracks running the length of the seat back.  The steering wheel has some cracks in the plastic as well. As this is a base model farm truck there is no radio, but the center panel can be removed should
you choose to install one (there is a space in the dashboard for speakers as well).


This truck is, for lack of a better term, a "survivor." It has been well cared for and is unmolested or modified. It's a piece of cake to work on and maintain, you could practically sit in the engine bay to work.

I will be sad to see it go, but hope that the new owner will respect and care for it as I did.

Thanks for looking!

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
