1979 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup Very Straight Truck Must See! on 2040-cars

1979 Chevy Cheyenne long bed. I purchased this truck a few years ago and did not even really need it. It was just so clean for the year and I love old trucks. I already had a truck but thought about painting it, putting in a low compression big block with a few turbos. I have used the truck to move stuff around and made some repairs along the way. I truly could not chop it up it ran so nice. Its not a fast truck, 350 v-8 and is not perfect. But when I tell you it will never ever leave you stranded, I mean it.

I purchased remanufactures rally wheels and center caps for the truck that are in perfect shape ($600 without the tires), put springs and a lowering kit on it ($900). Upgraded the AC, (evaporator, compressor, new lines all new total was around $1200) put a new interior in the truck with a all new carpet, headliner, kick panels, door pockets, and visors ($1300).

Changed the oil a few times since I have owned it. Door rubbers are in pretty good shape, a few of the moldings are not perfect, small rust spot on the hood, only spot on the whole truck.

There is not a lot bad with this truck. My kids (5 and 9 yr olds) can jump up and down on the hood or roof and the metal does not even flex. They truly do not make vehicles like this anymore, even trucks! You can drive this truck down the road at 70 mph and take it anywhere.

We have had a few new vehicles over the past few years and living in Florida the weather obviously gets very hot in the summer, the AC in this truck is better than a new vehicles. Never runs hot on temperature.

Rear main seal leaks a little and every few months I will top off the oil.

In closing this truck has been in our family for the past five or so years and has been a pleasure to own. No obligation whatsoever to buy if you are high bidder and not as described.  

I am new to eBay and am listing as no reserve. Last bid will buy it. I am going to let it run the entire length of the auction.

Feel free to email me with any further questions.

Good luck!

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
