1979 C10 Patina, bagged, shop truck.

 

Unique, patina’d 79 square body that has been daily driven for the past few years (weather permitting).  Can drive this one anywhere and get plenty of attention.

 

Very solid original truck

50,475 miles on the odometer.  (Do not know if this is original miles or not)

Originally built by RPM Hot Rods

Custom faux patina painted by Jerome Borris

350 engine, T350 trans – runs smooth and fires up with 1 pump of the pedal every time.  Strong trans, shifts smooth.

Porterbuilt Drop-member with factory arms modified for air bags

Porterbuilt 4-link rear with stepped rear rails

Front and rear bags, AVS switch box with Parker Valves.  7 switch AVS controller to raise & lower all 4 corners at once, front/rear separately, or 4 corner individually controlled

Lays frame when dropped

Low ride height, about 4” at the rockers, so it looks cool driving not just when it is dumped when parked.

Full steering travel lock to lock with out rubbing (custom inner fenders raised and widened for clearance)

Custom billet “steelies” 20’s and 22’s with original center caps.  Nitto tires

Custom sheet metal bed floor and wheel tubs bead rolled and bedlined.

Tie downs in the bed for your bike, bobber, or just hauling gear.

Pockets in back to hold army style gas cans

Actual gas tank mounted below the bed.  Filled through chrome cap in bed floor.  Fuel gauge works and is accurate.

 

Interior is nice and fairly clean.  The rug and carpet on the lower doors could probably use replacing or a good shampooing, but it fits the character of the truck as is so I never changed it.  Can be purchased new from LMC or Brother’s truck for a hundred bucks.  (Wet spot on the driver floor from wet shoes in pictures.  There are no stains or discoloration in the carpet.)   New seat foam and cover.  Cover has a weathered look that again goes perfectly with the truck.  Air gauge put into the lower left of the factory gauge cluster.  Everything works except the speedo.  Cable needs to be replaced, I never got around to doing it.  GPS App on my iPhone was free and worked good enough!  Otherwise the truck is mechanically and electrically sound.

 

New Alpine stereo installed this summer ($1,500 in parts) .  Alpine top of the line head unit with Blue Tooth, hands free phone, ipod, CD, etc…  Amps mounted below the seat.  Two 5.5” Alpine speakers in the door and two alpine 6x9’s in the rear cab corners.  Rockford Fosgate P3 sub behind the seat.  A lot of stereo for a small cab, but it sounds bitchen.

 

This is a bad ass truck that I hate to sell, but have a baby on the way and a few other projects.  Not interested in trades or low ball offers.  Do not bid if you do not plan to pay for it.  Clean, clear title in my name and ready to be signed over to you!

 

Located in Mundelein, IL (Northern suburb of Chicago).  Truck is available to inspect by appointment.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
