1963 Chevrolet C-10 Long Box Fleetside hotrod truck

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD BEFORE BIDDING. 

READ THIS PART FIRST! 

The engine on this truck runs quiet and has good power but will need to be looked at soon. 

I think one of the intake manifold gaskets needs replaced. When I got the truck a few weeks ago the oil had a tiny bit of water in it and I was told it had just started doing that. I changed the oil and filter with 10w-40 and it has not fouled again. The compression seems good, the spark plugs are not showing signs of a blown head gasket, the exhaust does not steam on either side, the radiator does not bubble or gurgle and is not getting oil into it but the valve covers will steam a little bit from the breathers when it's running. The valvetrain itself looks clean. I don't believe the leak is into the combustion chambers. 

From what I've researched online I believe it's one of the intake gaskets under the intake manifold that needs replaced and as far as I can tell it's a small leak. 

I just noticed a bolt is missing from the manifold and that could possibly have everything to do with it. Replacing the missing bolt and snugging down the aluminum manifold might solve the problem. I'm moving and don't have time to work on the truck.

I have a brand new full engine gasket kit that goes with the truck which will cover both head gaskets, intake gaskets, exhaust and water pump, and pretty much every other engine gasket you'd need to just replace them all on the top end. 

The truck is parked so it is not being driven right now while I work on moving. 

The Details: 

Washington state Horseless Carriage permanent antique vehicle plates. (never needs tags, similar to Antique or Special Oregon plates) Handy if you live in Washington state.

4 speed floor shift - gears work good, transmission is quiet, clutch feels tight and seems to work good, big stupid ratrod shifter handle for laughs

V8 - Unsure what displacement it is, factory aluminum 4bbl intake, factory paint looks to be medium blue. Unsure if it is a 305 or 350. I was told it is a 283 but I don't think that's correct. The Engine runs quiet and will idle nice and slow. It makes good power and pulls well. 

HEI distributor

Headers

New dual exhaust with glass packs, sounds great. Not over loud but a nice classic hotrod sound.

Cab has one tiny rust hole in the floor on the passenger side but overall it is decent otherwise. 

At some point the cab was undercoated, looks to be factory.

Small dents and dings here and there on the body and bed but no major damage. 

Frame and undercarriage looks great, greasy but not rusted, looks straight.

Door corners and fender lower corners have old rust repairs (common) but overall the body looks solid. 

All the glass is in uncracked condition. Window rubbers and fuzzies are old but easy to find replacements online. 

Windows roll up and down, wind wings open and close

A two speed electric fan run by a toggle switch on the dash has replaced the clutch engine fan. It moves a LOT more air than the stock fan and is quiet on low speed even at idle. 

Lowering springs, not cut coils, so it has a nice stance. 

New pirelli tires with full tread.

Chevy six lug steel rally wheels with chrome beauty rings

The headlights and stop lights work. Turn Signals are not hooked up (I use hand signals anyway :) 

Chrome drip rail 'peep' mirrors on the doors.

The truck has a heater and hoses are ran to it but I don't think it is wired up. 

Unsure if the wipers are wired up but they are complete. 

Steering feels tight. I have not noticed it wandering. 

An entire spare bed box is included with better inner fenders and a bit straighter bed sides. 

Neither bed has a tailgate. Bed floor is two plywood sheets. 

 It drives and runs well and should be just fine with the engine gaskets replaced. 

TL;DR This is a cool hotrod truck, dual exhaust, headers, V8, 4 speed, runs, drives, ENGINE NEEDS A GASKET, comes with gaskets that are needed. If you live in Portland Oregon or Washington State I would drive it home and spend a weekend replacing the gaskets and you will have a great running old hotrod truck however driving it or not is up to the buyer.  

Buyer is responsible for costs and logistics to arrange shipping and transport of truck. 
Deposit required within' 48 hours of auction close. 
Vehicle can be stored here for no more than 14 days without other arrangements being made ahead of time.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
