This is a 1969 Chevy C10 two wheel drive long bed truck. It is the typical truck of this era, has some rust, some mechanical issues, a few cosmetic flaws and lots of character and potential. It is NOT a numbers matching show truck, a concours restoration or a time capsule unmolested truck. it is a good old work/shop truck with a good base to start with or just keep it like it is and drive the wheels off of it. It does have it's good points as well as bad, I will try to cover both sides as best as I can.
First, mechanical condition.. It is a small block Chevy, not really sure what size. It starts right up, idles fine and pulls down the road. It has been converted to HEI ignition and should really have a new set of spark plug wires, the ones on it are pretty shabby. It has a Holley 600 carburetor on a factory intake. Has shiney valve covers and air cleaner but they have seen better days. Cast iron exhaust manifolds with dual exhaust. It is a three speed manual transmission , 3OTT (three on the tree). If you know these old trucks you know what is coming next, the shifter linkage needs adjusting. It drives and shifts but you have to know the "touch". To go to second, you almost slide up into reverse, then back down and up n over into second. The shift collar has been broken at one time and looks like it was JB Welded back together. Again, nothing major but a common problem with these old trucks and would really need to be fixed before doing a lot of everyday driving. The truck was an air coditioned model but the a/c components are long gone. Power steering works good and brakes stop like they should. Lights burn, wipers wipe.
Next, cosmetic condition. It has rust, has had some rust repaired and still needs body work. Chrome front and rear bumpers, pretty nice grille and has had the passenger fender replaced at one time, although it has a dent in it now. Tailgate has a big dent along the top but still functons as it should and bed is in real good shape. Rockers are rusty, inner front fenders are like they all are,, rusty. The good point is the area above the windshield does not appear to be rusted out like a lot of these trucks do. Doors open and close, passenger side outside door handle button is broken but you can still open the door with it. Paint job looks like a home shop effort but color is good. It is popping off in some spots. Interior needs a drivers side door panel.
I know i was pretty rough on the truck but had rather talk it down than mislead anyone about it. Does it need work, oh yeah. Would it be a good drive it while you work on it truck, oh yeah. Would I take off to either coast in it,, oh no, no way. All in all, it is just a good old truck that could make you a good shop truck, work truck or with effort and money a really nice cruiser. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask as I am sure I missed some things. We are flexible enough that we can work with your shipper if at all possible. Thanks and good luck.

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men
Tue, Apr 7 2015The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015
Sat, Dec 27 2014A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
