1985 Chevrolet C-10 Silverado 4x4 Chevy Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:129000
Location:

Up for auction is a 1985 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Pickup minus the motor.  The pickup is equipped with a 4-speed transmission, 4x4, WARN lucking hubs, power steering, power brakes, A/C, CD player, sliding back glass, truck cap, bed liner, trailer hitch, aluminum rims and 33/12.5/15 tires with 1/3 tread left.   I purchased the truck a week ago just for the engine, so now I am selling the rest of the truck.  I suppose for the right money I would sell the truck complete, so I will entertain offers.  I have left the engine in the truck until the end of the auction so the truck will be available for test drives.  I have driven the truck approximately 50 miles with no issues. The gentleman I purchased the truck from said it needs new tie rods; however I did not experience any major issues on the drive home.  Over all the truck is in pretty good condition for its age.   

During my short ownership I have tested the 4-wheel drive which worked as it should.  I have run the 4-speed manual transmission through all of its gears with no major issues.  I tested the brakes, head lights, wipers, heat, radio, fuel gauge, aftermarket water temp gauge, aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and all function properly. The speedometer does not appear to be hooked up; it did not function during my trip home.

The bed is the main rust on the truck. The front fenders, hood, floors, cab corners and rockers all appear to be in good condition.  Doors shut nice as does the tailgate.  The interior is in good shape for a 1985 Chevy pickup. 

The truck is very much a solid candidate for a restore, or a great minor fix and drive as is.

I have the clean Indiana title in the previous owner’s name.  The truck is sold As Is. No warranty implied or otherwise.  A $500 Non Refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction, cash only balance at pick up or full purchase price through pay pal. Must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auctions end.  Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

If you have questions PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDING!!! Thanks for looking.

The truck is located in Casey, IL 62420.

Please contact me before you bid if you have 0 feedback or negative feedback, otherwise I will cancel your bid. Thanks!


On Apr-11-14 at 06:52:13 PDT, seller added the following information:

The radiator, power steering pump with bracket, and manifolds will go with the truck.  I plan to use the alternator with bracket, and the starter.  The truck has a new flowmaster exhaust system that will go with the truck as long as I do not have to lower my reserve to get the truck sold.  If I lower my reserve I will keep the exhaust system and use it on my project.  Thanks, for your interest!

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk

Tue, Oct 27 2015

General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.
