FACTORY K10 SHORT BED 4X4

Please read this entire add before bidding as I believe the add with the pictures will answer most questions.  I will go over the good and the bad and tell you everything I know about this truck.

Body:  The body on this truck is straight and overall solid with some rust bubbling in the lower doors and the lower fender extensions, some small spots above the drip rails and a small spot on the drivers inside rocker panel.  The rust is not horrible or rotted out.  The passenger side rocker panel was replaced.  The floor boards appear to be solid.  The bottom of the doors look nice.  The trim, chrome on the truck is nice, front bumper and grill surrounds are nice.

Paint:  As you  can see the truck is black in color and shines nicely.  This is driver quality paint, it has some checking in spots along with chips and blemishes that have been brush touched.  The paint looks good from 10 feet away and would be fine for a daily driver but in my opinion needs to be redone.

Running Gear:  The truck has the original running gear as far as I can tell to include the closed knuckle front end with power drum brakes.  I do not know what gear ratio it has.  The frame has a weld on the passenger side (See Pic), I have no idea why its there, however its a very nice clean weld.  The truck has a late model gm power steering box that was fitted to the original frame and reinforced with plate steel.

Engine and Transmission:  The engine is a 454 BBC with a mild cam, the motor sounds great with a mild lope to it, runs nice with good power.  The transmission is a turbo 350 that shifts nicely with no slipping, controlled by an aftermarket floor shifter.  I do not know the mileage on either the transmission or the engine.

Interior:  The interior is in nice shape, however needs a dash pad and the visors could use some attention and it could use a carpet kit.  The bench seat is in good shape as well.  It has a tach dash cluster that works, cd player.  All glass is in very nice condition.

Overall:  This is a great looking, rare short bed K10 4x4 with a 454 that drives down the road nice.  This truck gets Lots of attention, nearly every time I drive it someone asks me about it or complements it. 

I have listed everything I know about the vehicle, the good with the bad so please take time to look at the pictures and judge for yourself.  I encourage anyone serious about the truck to come look at it or have someone look at it prior to bidding.

I'm listing this truck for a friend who took it on trade for a Porsche he had and has since decided he wants to go in a different direction.  The truck is currently registered in CA and has a clear title in my buddies name.  Please contact me with any questions you may have, if I can answer them I will or if you would like to speak the owner I can make arrangements for that to happen.


This truck will be sold as is, where is.  If shipping is required I will do whatever I can to assist, however the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.  

There will be a $1000.00 non refundable deposit required via paypal with in 24 hours of the auction ending.  If you can not complete this please do not bid.

I also have this truck for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early if the truck sells locally.  

Thanks!!

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The 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.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
