1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup Custom 283 V8 4-Speed Small Window One Owner Survivor Hello in
eBay land. I have a great find for
you! This is a 1963 1/2 ton Chevrolet Long
Box C-10 with the original 283 V8 and all of its original paint too. Other than the seat, this truck is all factory
original including the paint. I found this
truck in the barn on a farm just like one would expect. It had not been started or moved since at
least 1990. I doubt if it was used much
before then either. The plates are
original Pacific Wonderland and the bumper still has the brand of the local
Chevy dealer that sold it new. I fell in love
with the truck right away. It was far
from perfect and still is.. The bones
are what I look for in a find like this one.
The fact that a vehicle is only original once motivates me to buy these
whenever I find them. I mean really, how
many like this are out there anymore? I
hope that what I did to it and what I purposefully didn’t do will help tell the
story and give the new buyer either a starting point or a finished truck
depending on their desire. The fact
that the truck only had one owner is another check in the plus column for this
Chevrolet.. Unfortunately, the owner
died and I didn’t get to talk to him about the truck. I bought it from his estate and had it towed
to my shop. The seat was
all ripped up, the brakes were frozen, the gas in the tank was past old, the
shocks were solid, and it had not been started in an eon. I had some work to do.. We first pulled the seat out and sent it to
the upholsterer’s so he could source the material and get it looking right
again. Next we removed the gas tank and
sent it out to be cleaned and sealed.
While this was happening away from the shop we got started on the brakes
and shocks. I also pulled the carburetor
and personally rebuilt it. (I wish all
carbs were this simple). We also
started polishing the finish. It really
came back nice.. Yes, there is a lot of
patina.. I wouldn’t change any of
it.. You can’t make a truck look like
this on purpose.. It takes 50 years of
life to do it. The truck is really quite
solid. It has lived its whole life in
Oregon and even though it rains.. (a
lot) we don’t salt the roads and
vehicles remain pretty rust free around here.
There are a few spots that I pictured that would be easy to fix, but I
wanted to show the truck honestly and let the next owner decide how far to go
with the truck’s restoration. The
passenger front corner of the hood has some, there is a hole in the driver’s
rocker panel, and there is a hole on the inside of the tailgate. Under the tail edge of the passenger door
there is a hole too. That’s all I could
find though. The floor boards are solid
and so is the frame. The wood bed
is also original and has some soft wood and splits.. It’s totally useable, but also easy to
replace too. If I was keeping the truck
that would be my first “do it yourself” project.. I should
take a second and talk about the engine.
Just from an aesthetic point of view it is really stunning. Totally clean and original.. Simple and pretty and factory in every way. Once we got
the tank back and the carb was back in place we added fuel, installed a new
battery and gave her a crank.. She
started immediately and ran as smooth as anybody could hope. I cannot say enough about the motor in this
truck.. The engine is rock solid. It does not move at all. It revs smoothly and delivers even power
too. No leaks no smoking no issues at
all.. Plus its gorgeous. I couldn’t wait
to drive it so I jumped in on a bucket to check out the rest of it.. I’m sure the new brakes and shocks helped out
but I was really impressed. The clutch
is perfect as are all the syncros and even though there is no power steering or
brakes, it is super easy to drive..
(even sitting on a bucket J..) The heater
works, the blinkers work, the lights all work, the cool wipers work.. I was grinning from ear to ear.. I got the
seat back a few days later and wow.. I
mean show truck wow.. I put it in and we
were finished.. To sum up,
this is an original patina 1963 Chevrolet with a perfect seat and beautiful
engine. It may look old and tattered to
some, but that is the point.. It runs
and drives runs like a dream. This C-10
has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future
appreciation. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Chevrolet will sell the first go around as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the truck. Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.
Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras
Fri, Apr 15 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
