I have too many projects, so I am trying to downsize. This is a rare truck with a lot of potential. I don't have enough time for multiple projects, so I am selling a few. More will be listed soon.
This auction is for a 1967 Chevrolet C10 short bed (clear title). It is a rescued barn find that has been cleaned up. A frame-off restoration has been started. Also included is a 1969 Chevrolet C10 long bed (clear title). I also have a 1992 GMC Sierra SLX short bed step side that I am including (title signed in wrong place - easy to remedy if necessary).
The 1967 Chevrolet C10 is a one year only cab (small back glass). The fenders are also unique in 1967. It will be a nice looking truck when done. I was in the process of restoring this truck for my wife. It was going to be pink (bright metallic pink). A frame-off restoration was started and not completed. It is a very solid truck for the age. A lot of the hard work is done. The frame is undercoated. The inner fenders are undercoated. Part of the cab is undercoated. The bed needs undercoated. Minor rust repair needs to be done before the rest of the cab and the bed can be undercoated. The firewall and inner fenders are painted pink. The radiator support is painted black. The inner fenders and radiator support were removed from the 1969 Chevrolet C10 parts truck (were very nice). The fenders are nice and would take minimal work to prepare for paint. The cab is in decent shape. The cab corners needed to be replaced. Someone tried to build a cab corner for the passenger side...I would recommend using the cab corners from the 1969 C10 (need minor rust repairs) or ordering new cab corners. Both rocker panels were replaced. The floor is solid but needs a couple of small patches. The floor supports were rusty. Both supports on the passenger side are replaced. Both supports on the driver side should be replaced. I have the rear support but can't find the front support. I will look for the other support and will include it if I find it. I have new bolts to bolt the cab down. The bed is solid but will need a few small patches. There are also a couple of small holes in the bed floor to repair. The body is assembled but not all bolted together. Everything will need to be adjusted and bolted together better. The bed is not attached (just sitting on the frame), so it will be easy to remove and repair. It was loosely assembled for transport. There is a lot of potential here.
The truck has been lowered. The front springs are attached. The rear springs are sitting in the proper place but not attached. The parts truck should have the necessary parts. I have a few new bolts to include. The front shocks are new. I would swap the rear shocks with the parts truck (they are not very old). The truck will have a nice stance after the drivetrain is installed. The tires are new...and the polished aluminum wheels are almost new (look really nice)...bolted on with new lug nuts. It has the big-n-little treatment (taller and wider in the rear - shorter and narrower in the front). 31x10.50x15 in the rear and 215x65x15 in the front mounted on 15x8 wheels.
The intention was to paint the truck bright metallic pink with black stripes. I have the pink paint and will include it. I was going to use the steel bumper from the 1969 C10 on the front and a steel roll pan in the rear (new one included). It had a nice rear bumper with a receiver hitch, but that was removed. It is included just in case you prefer to use it. I also have a really nice front bumper and new brackets if you prefer chrome bumpers. The front bumper that was removed was a little rough but would make a nice core to have rechromed. I was going to change the doors (the doors from the 1969 C10 are really nice). The interior was going to be pink and black as well. I was going to replace the carpet and dye the seat (which is really nice for the age). I was considering using the step side bed from the 1992 GMC. It is in great shape other than one bed side (rear bumper damaged it). I have a nice replacement bedside though (easy to change). The tailgate is pretty nice...the floor is solid and straight...nice bed. I have a plastic roll pan that I can include (used but needs a little work). The 1967 C10 would look nice with a step side bed (I have seen it done many times). I was told that the 1992 GMC could be used as a donor so the 1967 C10 could be converted to 5-lug wheels. It is currently a 6-lug truck (built that way when new).
I also have an engine and transmission to include. The engine is a freshly built 350 that was driven a handful of miles in another toy before being removed and painted a different color so it could be used in the 1967 C10. The intake and valve covers were changed at that time. It has an aluminum 4-barrel Edelbrock Performer intake and aluminum Edelbrock valve covers. Edelbrock intake gaskets were used on the intake. Molded rubber reusable gaskets were used on the valve covers. It has a chrome fuel pump block-off plate so an electric pump can be used. I don't have a fuel pump for it. I also don't have headers (I may have a set of cast exhaust manifolds but will have to look). I have an Edelbrock 650 carburetor and Edelbrock air cleaner to include. All brackets, pulleys, and accessories are included. The transmission is a freshly built Turbo 350 that was built for a 1970 Chevelle and was bolted to an engine only for mock-up (no miles). It is supposed to have a mild stall converter. The 1967 C10 has a 12-bolt rear end. It previously had a 396 engine and a turbo 400 transmission.
I am including the original owners manual and supplemental materials in the original bag (for the 1967 Chevrolet C10). The last picture shows the 1967 C10 prior to being disassembled. A little work and some paint will make this a sweet ride.
These trucks are also for sale locally...so I reserve the right to end the auction early. I will add a buy-it-now price if necessary. I prefer to sell everything as a whole package, but I may be willing to split things up. This auction is for everything.
Basically everything you would need is included. I am sure there are a few little things you will need, but the majority is here. I am including many extra parts for 1967-72 Chevrolet trucks. A lot of the hard work is done. It needs to be finished and enjoyed.
I will be happy to show you the trucks if you would like to give them a personal inspection. Also feel free to contact me with questions.
I am willing to deliver everything for a small fee...but I prefer to have the new owner pick up. I will help you load if you need help. Contact me with questions.
Thanks and Happy Bidding.

GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales
Tue, Apr 3 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US
GM is the latest automaker accused of diesel emissions cheating
Thu, May 25 2017Volkswagen and Ram need to make room on the diesel-emissions bench for General Motors. America's largest automaker was accused in a lawsuit on Thursday of rigging hundreds of thousands of diesel trucks with at least three so-called defeat devices to ensure that the trucks would meet federal and state emission standards, even if they generated more pollution in real-world driving. According to the complaint, on-road emissions testing conducted for the plaintiffs found that Duramax-equipped trucks produced NOx pollutants, comprised of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, two to five times higher than legally permitted, and "many times" higher than their gasoline counterparts. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Detroit on behalf of people who own or lease more than 705,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks fitted with "Duramax" engines from 2011 to 2016 model years. The lawsuit seeks remedies including possible refunds or restitution for lost vehicle value, plus punitive damages. It adds to legal problems for Detroit-based GM, which has already paid about $2.5 billion in penalties and settlements over faulty ignition switches linked to 124 deaths. GM joins at least five automakers whose diesel emissions have been scrutinized by regulators or consumers. They include VW, which has admitted to cheating; Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot and Renault. GM spokesman Dan Flores called the claims "baseless," and said the trucks comply with US Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards and California's own tough standards. Shares of GM were down 69 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $32.50 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $31.93. The GM lawsuit was filed by several law firms, including Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, which helped reach multibillion-dollar settlements with VW on behalf of drivers and dealers. The case is Fenner et al v General Motors LLC et al, US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 17-11661. The named plaintiffs are Andrei Fenner of Mountain View, California and Joshua Herman of Sulphur, Louisiana. They said they would not have bought their respective 2011 Sierra and 2016 Silverado trucks, or would have paid less for them, had they known about the alleged rigging. Joseph Spak, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, in a research report said "negative publicity" from the lawsuit could drive buyers to trucks from Ford or even Fiat Chrysler's Ram.
GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers
Fri, Oct 26 2018Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:
