As far as C10's go, this is pretty much the holy grail of originality and low mileage when it comes to these trucks. This is my 1971 Chevy C10 short bed. It is a very amazing survivor that started its life in AZ where it was sold new at Lou Grubb Chevrolet in Phoenix AZ, and made its way to CA later in life, all the while only covering 41,000 miles in the process! Yes thats correct, 41,000 miles. The truck still wears its original white paint all over with just the drivers front fender having been touched up at some point, but no damage or bodywork is evident on it. The paint still has a great shine to it and the inside is factory mint everywhere! On the tail gate the original dealership decal is still there and intact as you can see in the photo. I have a copy of the original title for this truck as well! When I got the truck, the original wheels were still wearing their factory fitted bias ply tires and there was a lot of life left on them, again, further evidence of a low mileage, well taken care of truck. This truck was a special order. The majority of white trucks made by Chevy were long beds and this is a short bed, but the best part is that this truck was special ordered with a blue interior instead of the standard and very common black. This is in fact the only white on blue short bed I have ever seen and after talking with many experts, none of them have seen another legitimate, documented short bed like this either. All of this makes for a very special truck, mostly due to its condition, but the great color combo really pushes it over the top as well.
Again, this is an original paint truck and the paint is in great shape. There is one spot of rust on the drivers side cab corner under the gas tank, which is the most common spot. as well as a smaller one on the passenger side cab corner under the tank. What is uncommon is that this truck has no rust anywhere else. It is the most solid, dry truck I have ever seen. The door hinges has no play in them, no sag, no droop, nothing. The doors line up like factory and close with one finger with a solid clunk like new. Most everything is still nice and tight on this truck because it has not been played with ever. The hood has some nice patina to it where you can see the black factory primer coming through as seen in the photos. The drip rails are laser straight, no rust, and the bed is MINT! The truck had a camper shell on it so it saved the bed from being dented up and warped. This bed is so nice and the paint still shines in there as you can see in the photos. Inside the truck has been cleaned up and renewed where needed. The seat cover is new and has a nice factory blue with houndstooth factory cover. The carpet is original blue in color and a new blue steering wheel was installed. The original patina'd steering wheel comes with the truck as well in case you want to swap it back on. The dash has a factory Tach in it that is hooked up and works as it should. All glass is nice and clear with no chips or cracks. Its really an awesome place to sit and enjoy the truck. As you can see, the inside is really beautiful and the dash build tag is still on the glove box lid as you can see in the photo. This truck is an inline 6 cyl engine truck with a floor shifted 4 speed. The motor runs flawlessly cruises right along. One pump on the gas pedal and it fires up on the first try every time. The motor has been left totally stock, just tuned up with plugs, wires and an HEI distributor. Also there is a new Aluminum radiator with an electric fan for worry free cool cruising, but the original fan is included with the truck as well if you want to go back to stock. The motor is untouched original, and although it would have been easy to pull the motor and paint it, I have decided to leave it alone. you can see the factory Chevy orange on the motor and valve cover is still there. I will include a can of high temp chevy orange paint if you decide you want to pull and repaint the motor. That decision is up to the new owner. Trans is all stock. I rebuilt the shift linkage and it works buttery smooth now with perfect pedal pressure and easy shifts. The carb is rebuilt and works great. Even the exhaust is totally stock and original with the factory muffler in place so this truck runs nice and quiet as it should be. The original air cleaner is included with the truck as well as the one on it here in the photos. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere! I actually do drive it all over, many 3 hour plus trips and it drives great and issue free! Now on to the cool stuff! This truck is set up RIGHT! It has all new CPP suspension. Up front it has CPP drop spindles, disc brakes, and 3 inch drop springs with CPP shocks. Also it has the CPP shock strengthening mounts to keep them sitting nice and solid. All front end bushings and tie rods, ends and ball joints are new! Out back the truck has CPP springs, shocks, shock mounts, super track bar, CPP bolt in C notches and 2 inch drop block so the truck has a 5.5 front and 7 inch rear drop. Rear brakes are new too along with bearings all around! This baby rides so smooth that you forget it is a truck. It feels like a nice big American Cadillac going down the road. It has been expertly aligned so you can point it down the road, take your hands off the wheel and it stays straight as an arrow down the road. How many other trucks can you do that in? Wheels are new American Racing Torq Thrust D spoke wheels with new tires with under 600 miles on them. They sit great under this truck and the best part is NO rubbing, no scuffing, no dragging. Like I said, this truck is set up right, well thought out, and dialed in so you can drive it anywhere. This is the most amazing C10 I have ever seen. Original paint, super low miles, totally dialed in and ready to be enjoyed. It sits right, rides right and will only become more valuable. There are a sea of restored, repainted, customized C10's out there but original trucks only come along so often. Its rare to find one this good, this solid and this original with this much attitude! This truck has the look! If you are searching for a C10 this one is hard to fault. Do not miss this chance to own one of the best custom C10's out there, hands down! I am not interested in trades, please do not offer. If you want the truck before the auction ends, shoot me an offer. I have a number in mind, but its not a 4 digit number so keep that in mind before you email. This truck is sold as is where is, with no warranties expressed or implied. It is the responsibility of the bidder to inspect or have inspected the truck before bidding. Payment must clear before the truck leaves. Thanks and happy bidding! |

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition, Custom ready to stand out in pickup line
Thu, Feb 12 2015Chevrolet spent its Chicago Auto Show introducing a pair of fullsize pickups that promise image-conscious buyers a truck experience that goes beyond the standard range, with the murdered-out Midnight Edition and the um, not murdered-out, Custom. Let's start with the Custom, which adds 20-inch alloys, as well as chrome bumpers, mirror caps and door handles to the Silverado LS. Available in both V6 and V8 varieties, and with the customer's choice of two- or four-wheel drive, the Silverado Custom is the decidedly mellower example of Chevy's special edition styling. The Midnight Edition, meanwhile, throws subtlety out the window with a menacing set of visual upgrades. Based on the Z71, the Midnight adds 18-inch wheels, a spray-in bedliner and unique Z71 and Bowtie badges, all in black, of course. The front and rear bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, mirror caps and door handles, are also finished in the stealthy shade. Check out our live images of both special edition trucks, and let us know what you think down in Comments.
Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
