1960 Chevy Apache C-10 Custom Low Rider Truck, Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Windber, Pennsylvania, United States
1960 Chevy Apache C-10 custom low-rider/dropped truck, hot rod Selling my
1960 Apache truck that I have been working on and need to sell. This is one of the coolest trucks around and
looks awesome in the sunlight. The truck
was painted 5 years ago using House of Kolor Candy Apple Red with a Silver base
coat. I cannot locate the color code(s)
but will keep looking for them. Overall
the paint is in great shape. I did put
another coat of wax on in before it went into winter storage, but there are a
few nicks in the paint (pictured) from hitting curbs when being lowered. Truck has a
Chevy 350 with 350 turbo tranny, new Edelbrok carb, new exhaust with dual pipes
out the rear (sounds awesome). New
hydraulic tanks, valves and hoses that drop this truck down to within a few
inches of the ground. Both front and
rear can raise/drop independently. Marine
grade batteries allow for plenty of juice to handle the load of the
actuators. Smoothie style Chevy hubcaps
with beauty rings. Tilt wheel. Drum brakes all around. I do not have the bed secured to the truck as
I just put it back on for these pictures.
It is secure enough to transport the truck on a trailer after the sale. This truck came
from Nevada and has very little rust, bondo or other issues with the body and is structurally
sound. You can’t find trucks like this
with this much work done for this price. The trucks
runs. It was upgraded to a
12v system a few years back, but I have a brand new wiring harness that will be
included. I was planning on re-wiring
myself but never got the time to do it this past winter. These trucks are easy to rewire and should
not take too long to do. Interior is in
great shape and has a 2-tone bench seat and other items listed below. Gauges work but some of the light bulbs for
the cluster are burned out and need replaced in order to see them at
night. Cigarette lighter, wipers, headlights (including hi-beams) and tail lights work. I have videos of the truck running, with lights on and raising/lowering of the suspension that I will email to anyone interested. A few of the
things that I wanted to mention in full disclosure: Truck will need a drive shaft. I did have the truck on the road last year but noticed the drive shaft needed replaced and parked it before winter hit to work on it. The suspension will need finished and secured to the frame. Small
tranny leak from sitting around, but should be an easy fix. Bed needs permanently
mounted to the truck (we just placed it on for these pics). Speedo works but occasionally hangs up for
whatever reason for a mile or two then works again. Engine will need the choke connected. Rear bumper brackets and bumper will need to be
installed since I never did that. The
front bumper is mounted already. If I think of anything else I missed, I will update the listing. This truck
just need finished and it will be an awesome ride for someone looking for that
classic low California truck look. All of
the hard work is done. It does have its
rattles and noises, but they all do. This
is not a new truck and will not drive like a new Silverado, please be aware
that you are buying a custom truck. I
have a clear PA title in hand. I will
include anything and everything that I have for this truck to the new owner. The NEW
parts that I put on the truck include……NEW interior chrome (door handles, vent window locks rear
view mirror, rear view mirror bracket, sun visors, sun visor brackets, tail
lights, new dash knobs, door panel inserts, chrome cab light, tail lights, tail
light rubbers, clear running lights, bezels, bulbs, wiper arms, chrome cowl
pcs, chrome door handles, chrome tailgate hardware and chains, chrome fuel cap,
fuel neck rubber. Chrome bumpers and new
bumper brackets are included. Basically,
anything chrome has been replaced within the last 6 months. The NEW
parts that still need to be put on by the new owner include: 16-circuit electrical harness, 16”
Coker 3” wide white tires (still wrapped in plastic), rear bumper brackets, all door
seals/rubbers. Seat belts. I am sure I am missing other items that are
included, but let me know if you have any questions and I will get you all of
the info I can give. I can help coordinate
the shipping of this truck but all fees and shipping charges are the
responsibility of the new owner. I am not
interested in any trades. No warranty. Feel free to
ask any questions prior to bidding as this is a legal binding agreement to

to answer any and all questions that you may have, so ask away if you need
clarification on anything prior to bidding.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?
Sat, Mar 7 2015General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
