You are bidding on a 1969 c10 shortbed with patina.
This truck retains the patina/rough around the edges exterior but had a bunch of money invested in upgrades.there is cracking of paint on the roof, it sees direct sun and being that it's over 40 years old it has worn the most.the other areas show various wear associated from the elements over the course of time since 1969.the pictures show that it is overall very straight minus a few minor dents here and there. it now is far more practical for longer drives/daily driving .This truck came with a 307/3 speed manual on the column  .It has been replaced/ upgraded with a gm performance crate 350 motor along with a 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission. the 700r4 is run through the original factory column/shifter.i purchased a special kit to be able to do so.
almost everything under the hood is new, all new aftermarket radiator with superior cooling capacity vs stock, new water pump, hedman headers, edelbrock 600cfm carb

the stance was achieved through early classic enterprises 4.5/6" drop kit, along with their front power disc  brake kit. this is a HUGE upgrade over drum brakes. also required a different mount for the 700r4.truck also has their 5 lug conversion along with new rear axles.these trucks were 6 lug and to run a nice 5 lug wheel you will need to have 5 lug These parts were around $2,500

brand new 20" wheels /tires, these were close to $2, 000

has new custom 1 piece driveshaft, brand new gas tank, sending unit, dual 2.5" exhaust with flowmaster mufflers, brand new chrome bumpers.

this truck is really cool/unique as is, but has all the hard stuff done. if you want a finished show truck you could do the body work/paint and redo the seat and have a $22, 000-$25, 000 truck, all just depends on what you want to do.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
