1968 Chevy C10 Cst Shortbed Truck - Fresh 350 W/ 200r4 Overdrive on 2040-cars
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1968 C10 Shortbed truck that was rebuilt around five years ago and is a great driver. VIN decodes as an original V8 2WD truck out of the Fremont, CA plant. Clean 350 motor (010 casting)
has less than 15k miles on it and just had a 200r4 overdrive
transmission installed about three months ago by Danny's in Greensboro, NC
with a new B&M Mega shifter (have receipt for trans/converter/driveshaft & install for $1,750, has a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty that started when installed in April). Trans was built with aftermarket
clutches, converter and TCI lockup kit. Driveshaft was shortened and
rebalanced with a new yoke. Trans shifts
into overdrive too early for my liking so I use the B&M shifter to
manually shift from drive to overdrive. Motor has a new Edelbrock 600 carb with
electric choke, Edelbrock aluminum Performer intake, new Chevrolet valve covers, new distributor cap, new rotor, new button, new plugs & plug wires, new starter, new hoses & clamps
and a new Cadillac air breather. Truck has new ceramic
coated mid-length headers and 2 1/2 exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that dump at
the axle. Interior was redone at the the time of the rebuild and has
very little wear and tear if any. Front seat was completely reupholstered and new black carpet installed. Has brand new front and rear chrome
bumpers, brand new side maker lens, brand new taillight and reverse lens
as well. The paint shows well and is in pretty good shape but there is a
little body work showing. Mainly where the gas cap was smoothed, spot
on the front of the passenger fender, two spots on the hood and a few nicks here and there. Nothing
major but wanted to point it out so that a perfect paint job isn't
expected. Fuel tank was removed from behind the seat and replaced with
an in-bed RDS toolbox conversion tank ($700 bucks from Northern Tool).
Nice conversion as it eliminates fuel odors from the cab and it holds
41-gallons, so you're not filling up for long road trips. Truck has
power steering, power brakes and with the overdrive it cruises great
down the highway at around 2,000 rpm. Truck is currently daily driven at least 30 miles everyday and will continue to be driven till sold. Please keep in mind this is not a show truck but is also not priced as one. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, if anyone wants more pics or if you'd like to come and inspect the truck in person feel free to call me.
336.339.6867 Thanks- Rick Also, below the VIN tag in the door jamb there is an additional tag that says: 5370 404 68 CHEV PU LIGHT DEPT. Not sure if was possibly an original government issued truck or anything but had a guy view the truck last week that asked if I knew the significance and I'm not sure about it....maybe a C10 guru can chime in on some info. Also, had plans of completing an LS / T56 swap but need to focus on other projects. Available to winning bidder if interested, I have a LS1 aluminum block based 383 stroker with ported heads, FAST 92mm intake, Jesel rockers, custom Comp cam, 42lb injectors, etc that made 477rwhp on the dyno. Also have some other swap parts available. |

GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
