You are bidding on a 1966 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside Short Bed Pickup with the highly desirable big back window. This truck starts, runs & drives just fine. This truck has a 250cid L6 motor and a 3 speed manual on the floor.

The body on this truck is in fine shape for it's age. Only one rust spot on the drivers side fender. I included a picture. Both cab corners and all body mounts are in excellent condition. No issues there. Cab floor is also in excellent shape. No rust, no rot. I included some pictures of these areas.

I have replaced or upgraded the following on this truck:

  • 2" drop Mcgaughty front spindles
  • 2" lowering kit in the rear
  • Brand new front disc brake conversion using 11-1/2" truck rotors  with 5 on 5 lug pattern
  • New rear axles to convert from 6 to a 5 on 5 lug pattern w/new axle seals and fluid change.
  • New rear shoes and hardware
  • New dual resevoir Master Cylinder and Proportioning valve
  • New brakes lines to the rear
  • New fuel system including tank, sending unit, fuel pump, inline filter and newer Carburator
  • Complete new wiring harness including modern fuse block from American Autowire. This wire kit was for this truck, not a generic kit. Kit inlcuded all new switches and light sockets
  • New battery, starter, & alternator
  • Complete new gauge cluster and sending unit
  • Reupholstered bench seat
  • New Hurst shifter
  • New American Racing Torq Thrust Wheels & brand new tires
  • Complete engine tune-up and all fluids changed

This truck was repainted around 2007. Not professionally done, but still looks pretty good. Kinda has that "old school" look to it. (please see photos)

The body on this truck is very solid, only one rust area as mentioned on the driver side fender. (see photo)

No cracks in any of the glass. Everything works as you would expect for a 1966 vehicle. The only issues I found were the wiper motor and the gas gauge. The wiper motor does not appear to work and the gas gauge reads full all the time due to a mismatch in Ohm resistance between the gauge and the sending unit. The gauge company can fix this if the gauge and sending unit are sent to them. I didn't worry about it as i was able to track gas usage by mileage. This truck gets a solid 16-18mpg.

This truck is a great ride and gets a lot of attention on the road and at car shows. It would make a perfect shop truck or a good start to a full restoration

This vehicle is for sale locally and the seller reserves the right to end the listing at any time.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
