 I started this project about three years and for the last year and a half, since moving from California to Missouri, it has just sat in my garage.  I just don't have the time to finish it.  You are bidding on a beautiful 1965 Chevrolet C10 short bed truck.  It is a frame off restoration and has absolutely zero rust.  There is no bondo whatsoever.  There was some rust in the floor boards and rocker panels but they have been cut out and replaced.  The paint is white PPG inside and out except for the bumpers and grill, which are gun metal grey PPG.  I am the third owner of the vehicle.  The truck was bought new by Northeastern State University in Talequah, Oklahoma.  In 1972 a doctor bought the truck from the university and owned it until I purchased it from him three years ago.  It sat in his barn for a number of years.  The truck originally had a six cylinder but it has been replaced by a newly rebuilt 1993 Chevrolet 5.7 liter 350 V-8 with Edelbrock 650 cfm carb and K&N air filter charger.  New platinum spark plugs and wires.  The transmission is a 700r4 automatic.  The rear end is brand new with 3:08 gears.  I have nearly everything to finish this truck including a Retro Stereo that connects to iPhone (that fits the existing holes and is digital), all new speakers, new trim, relocated gas tank to the underneath the bed, all new oak bed wood that has already been stained in golden pecan and varnished with marine grade polyurethane with UV protectant and polished stainless steel strips and bolts to hold the bed wood properly in place, brand new Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires and Pacer wheels with 0 miles on them, brand new chrome alternator and water pump, new Edelbrock intake and valve covers, upgraded electronic ignition, new in the box aluminum radiator, polished stainless steel tailgate chains with covers, the interior is all complete and lined with Dynamat, all new chrome door handles and trim, new rubber door and windshield gaskets, ashtray comes with the truck even though it is not installed in the photos, new stainless steel rocker panel covers with bow tie, new seatbelts, new ignition (doors and ignition are all new and keyed the same), all new lens covers for turn signals and tail lights, new pedals, new chrome mirrors, new sun shade visors, new windshield wipers and arms, too many parts and extras to list.  The only things I don't have to complete the restoration are exhaust, radiator brackets, headlights, and the drive shaft needs to be cut down to fit the new transmission but it is present.  This really is a great truck that looks fantastic.  It should run like new once all hooked up.  The reserve is set at less than half of what I have in the truck.  Feel free to email me with any questions.  You will not be disappointed with the condition of this truck.  There are two blemishes in the paint, which are in the pictures.  One on the rear bumper and the other between the cab and the bed on the driver's side.  They are both very small.  All of the work was professionally done by a retired owner of a restoration shop in California.  I visited often while he had the entire truck in pieces and hand sanded each piece before resembling and painting after painting the frame black.  You will not find another truck in this shape.  Deposit of $1,000 due within 24 hours through PayPal.  Balance due within 7 days of close of auction.  You must arrange for transport from Salem, MO to your location.
