You are bidding on a 1966 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside Short Bed Pickup with the highly desirable big back window. This truck starts, runs & drives just fine. This truck has a 250cid L6 motor and a 3 speed manual on the floor.

The body on this truck is in fine shape for it's age. Only one rust spot on the drivers side fender. I included a picture. Both cab corners and all body mounts are in excellent condition. No issues there. Cab floor is also in excellent shape. No rust, no rot. I included some pictures of these areas.

I have replaced or upgraded the following on this truck:

  • 2" drop Mcgaughty front spindles
  • 2" lowering kit in the rear
  • Brand new front disc brake conversion using 11-1/2" truck rotors  with 5 on 5 lug pattern
  • New rear axles to convert from 6 to a 5 on 5 lug pattern w/new axle seals and fluid change.
  • New rear shoes and hardware
  • New dual resevoir Master Cylinder and Proportioning valve
  • New brakes lines to the rear
  • New fuel system including tank, sending unit, fuel pump, inline filter and newer Carburator
  • Complete new wiring harness including modern fuse block from American Autowire. This wire kit was for this truck, not a generic kit. Kit inlcuded all new switches and light sockets
  • New battery, starter, & alternator
  • Complete new gauge cluster and sending unit
  • Reupholstered bench seat
  • New Hurst shifter
  • New American Racing Torq Thrust Wheels & brand new tires
  • Complete engine tune-up and all fluids changed

This truck was repainted around 2007. Not professionally done, but still looks pretty good. Kinda has that "old school" look to it. (please see photos)

The body on this truck is very solid, only one rust area as mentioned on the driver side fender. (see photo)

No cracks in any of the glass. Everything works as you would expect for a 1966 vehicle. The only issues I found were the wiper motor and the gas gauge. The wiper motor does not appear to work and the gas gauge reads full all the time due to a mismatch in Ohm resistance between the gauge and the sending unit. The gauge company can fix this if the gauge and sending unit are sent to them. I didn't worry about it as i was able to track gas usage by mileage. This truck gets a solid 16-18mpg.

This truck is a great ride and gets a lot of attention on the road and at car shows. It would make a perfect shop truck or a good start to a full restoration

This vehicle is for sale locally and the seller reserves the right to end the listing at any time.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.
