You are bidding on a 1969 c10 shortbed with patina.
This truck retains the patina/rough around the edges exterior but had a bunch of money invested in upgrades.there is cracking of paint on the roof, it sees direct sun and being that it's over 40 years old it has worn the most.the other areas show various wear associated from the elements over the course of time since 1969.the pictures show that it is overall very straight minus a few minor dents here and there. it now is far more practical for longer drives/daily driving .This truck came with a 307/3 speed manual on the column  .It has been replaced/ upgraded with a gm performance crate 350 motor along with a 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission. the 700r4 is run through the original factory column/shifter.i purchased a special kit to be able to do so.
almost everything under the hood is new, all new aftermarket radiator with superior cooling capacity vs stock, new water pump, hedman headers, edelbrock 600cfm carb

the stance was achieved through early classic enterprises 4.5/6" drop kit, along with their front power disc  brake kit. this is a HUGE upgrade over drum brakes. also required a different mount for the 700r4.truck also has their 5 lug conversion along with new rear axles.these trucks were 6 lug and to run a nice 5 lug wheel you will need to have 5 lug These parts were around $2,500

brand new 20" wheels /tires, these were close to $2, 000

has new custom 1 piece driveshaft, brand new gas tank, sending unit, dual 2.5" exhaust with flowmaster mufflers, brand new chrome bumpers.

this truck is really cool/unique as is, but has all the hard stuff done. if you want a finished show truck you could do the body work/paint and redo the seat and have a $22, 000-$25, 000 truck, all just depends on what you want to do.

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
