1965 C-10 SWB Stepside
1965 C-10. A nice driving, good looking old cruiser. I am selling this truck for my friend who is going through a divorce. He now lives in Florida and I rescued this truck form his old house here in NC before his soon to be ex-wife did something with it. I put some work into the truck to bring it to it's current state. The truck has its fair share of dents, dings and scratches, but all in all its a complete and solid old truck. I have done my best to photograph the truck so study the pictures carefully. The 6cyl and 3 speed manual transmission work perfectly. The truck runs, drives, and stops with no issues. The speedometer does work, but I'm not sure if the other gauges do.
The exterior is satin black with a satin white roof. The paint looks to be a few years old as it has chips and scratches is a few places. The passenger door's catch is missing and the door has a small dent where it has hit the front fender. The bed planks are pressure treated pine boards that have been burned with a propane torch to reverse the grains and then stained. The tailgate has some rust through at the top of it (pictured), but it has been painted and doesnt look like it could spread. Personally I would just drive this truck as is because it looks cool. The floor pans had rust issues, but were repaired by the previous owner and are now solid. The blue dot tailights are brand new with drilled bare steel brackets.
The wheels are original steelies that have been stripped to bare steel with the centers painted white, then clear coated. The tires have a ton of tread left, but are starting to crack from age.
The interior is blue and black with an original blue seat that is in great condition. The radio is a newer aftermarket kenwood with speakers placed throughout the cab and works well. The ignition switch needs to be replaced beucause the return spring inside is broken. It still works, you just have to turn the key back to the left once the engine is running. The glass is all good and the windows roll up and dont with no issues. The doors open and shut perfectly.
The engine has been cleaned and painted and has a new battery and air cleaner.
I have listed this as honestly and completely as possible and I am ready to answer any and all questions you might have as I'm sure I missed something. I am proud of my 100% positive feedback and I strive to continue it so bid with confidence. This truck's reserve is low as my friend is just trying to get his money back from the truck. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction's end and full payment is due within 7 days. If you have negative feedback or less than 10 transactions please contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Please do not contact me with any trade offers.
On May-02-14 at 07:55:02 PDT, seller added the following information: The 1965 Texas License plate does not come with the truck. I installed it to illustrate placement of the plate. On May-03-14 at 19:13:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I have the title in my hand. It is a clean, clear and open North Carolina title. I was asked about the floors, cab corners and cab mounts. The floors and cab corners had rust issues in the past, but have been repaired. You cant even tell the cab corners have been repaired unless you crawl underneath. The cab mounts have rust, but they are still fully functional.
I was able to talk my buddy into lowering the reserve. (I really want my driveway space back) The reserve has been lowered drastically!!! Bid to win. This truck is a great deal for a running and driving '65 c-10. Once again if you have any questions please shoot them my way. |

2016 Chevy Camaro to drop 200 pounds
Mon, Mar 30 2015The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro makes its grand debut on May 16 at a big celebration on Detroit's Belle Isle. Until then, Chevy's strategy seems to be showing off the pony car's new components piece by piece. With the exhaust headers and front end already on display, the Bowtie is now giving a glimpse at some of the upcoming model's aluminum components. The Camaro is going on a diet for its latest generation, and Chevy claims that the switch to the Alpha platform and other new components shed over 200 pounds compared to the current model. That will put the pony car at around 3,500 pounds. The lower weight will contributes to better fuel economy, quicker acceleration and more direct handling, according to the automaker. Among the changes are aluminum front and rear suspension assemblies (pictured above) that weigh 21 percent less than the current units. Also, Chevy promises in its announcement "links on some models feature an intricate, structurally optimized design made with a rigid composite material that's even lighter than aluminum." In addition to these improved parts, the Camaro uses the lightweight metal for the beam that supports the instrument panel to save 9.7 pounds more. The only two pieces reportedly carrying over to the latest design are Chevy's bowtie and SS badges, and at least one engine in the range is known to be a version of the 6.2-liter LT1 V8. With over a month until the next Camaro's debut, we might get a glimpse of even more of the car's new parts in the coming weeks.

To meet all three objectives, the team focused on a singular mission: reduce mass. By obsessively searching for opportunities to save ounces, the team pared more than 200 pounds off the Camaro compared with the fifth-generation model. As a result, the Camaro does more with less, according to Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer: "We kept the cornering confidence and control that make the Gen 5 Camaro 1LE so fun to drive, and added a greater sense of agility," he said. "The new Camaro brakes harder, flicks into corners more quickly, and drives out of the corner faster.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
