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 recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
