71 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup, Long Wide Bed, 305 V8, 350 Turbo trans. 5-lug, power steering, manual disk brakes. I have a power brake booster and brackets that will go with the truck.
A good daily driver, not a show truck. Runs and drives great!
New bumpers, new dash bezel, new clear side markers, nice interior, good dash pad and seat, carpet, etc.
Bedslide in the bed has been taken out, but will go with the truck, and a soft tonneau cover that opens on gas struts and also unsnaps and rolls up for use with tall loads.
Camaro 20 inch wheels with near new rear tires, fronts are about 30%. Shiny paint, but it was intended as a daily driver so the bodywork was not done to show standards, they painted over some small dents and dings, etc.
Problems:
The 305 short block was professionally rebuilt and blueprinted about 60,000 miles ago, but they put used heads on it and now the valve seals are starting to leak so it puffs out a little smoke when you first fire it up. I have a pair of 350 GM crate motor heads that came on my project truck's Goodwrench crate engine that have never been run. These are BRAND NEW heads from General Motors, not rebuilts, that I will let go with the truck for another $200 if you want them. Heads are not for sale by themselves.
The heater controls in the dash have been replaced and look great but don't work correctly and will need to be sorted out. The radio hole in the dash has been hacked.
Has the wrong lower radiator hose on it, it works but does not fit well at all and needs replaced.
Has the wrong shifter linkage on it and will not allow you to pull it down into low or second, just Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive. Current linkage is off a Chevy passenger car of some kind. Does not hurt driving the truck but should be changed at some point. I have the correct linkage and it goes with the truck.
Has a new passenger side front fender, but they put it on incorrectly and the inner fender won't line up. You can see it in some of the pictures. Will need to be adjusted. Has some adhesive or putty of some sort on the bottom of the new fender that does not show up well on the pictures that will need to be cleaned off.
I like this truck and was going to do some stuff to it when I got done with the other truck, so I bought a brand new 3 inch front / 4 inch rear drop springs and an adjustable track bar from Classic Industries. This is the maximum drop without using drop spindles on the front. They are still in the original boxes. Entire setup for $300 if you want it along with the truck. Not for sale separately. If I sell the truck without any of the extra parts listed, I may sell them through other auctions later so watch Ebay for them.
I also have a set of 7 X 15 stock truck rally wheels with rings, caps and usable tires if you prefer. The Camaro wheels do not bolt directly on these trucks and have to have thick adapters and spacers to fit correctly. I have been running them with no problems for the last 6 months or so, but some people don't like adapters so I felt I should mention it. I will knock $800 off the price if you don't want the Camaro wheels and put the rallies on instead.
If you don't want the bedslide and tonneau cover, I will knock off some on the price and keep them as well.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
