1971 Chevy Custom C10 Pick Up. 350 Wa/c 2nd Owner Patina, Shop Truck Or Rat Rod. on 2040-cars
Bristow, Indiana, United States
I purchased it from the original owner and I have known this truck all of my life. I have the original owners books and paperwork from when it was purchased new. Truck is original paint and patina. Nothing hidden with bondo. Truck has its factory 350 V8, 4bbl.(factory Quadrajet), power steering, disc brakes, automatic transmission and A/C. The A/C compressor will need work to have cold air. Truck has factory mild tinted glass too and the glass is perfect. Truck has 101,000 original miles but Indiana exempted the milage on the title due to age. New front tires and new rear (old school) Power King mud grips. Truck runs STRONG, shifts and drives out nicely. Lots of power. No smoke or issues with the drivetrain. I have been using it as a daily driver. Quardajet carb is cold natured like they always are. One bump of the pedal and it fires right up but takes a little while to warm up. Truck had been sitting since 1988 when I bought it. I have replaced the belts, hoses, starter, radiator, rear brake shoes, front calipers and brakes, front brake hoses, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, battery, every bulb on and in the truck and much more. EVERYTHING works! All lights inside and out and gauges (speedo, odometer, ammeter, oil pressure and temp) work. Fuel gauge has a new sending unit in tank but it reads 1/2 when full for some reason. When on empty it still has 1/2 tank. Not sure what is up with it. May be a ground issue. Heat will run you out in seconds!!! Wipers work. This is a very cool truck and a reliable truck to drive daily. Truck has rust like they all do. Nothing extreme or out of the ordinary. New rocker panels had been welded in at some point and look pretty good. FRAME, TRAILING ARMS AND 95% OF THE FLOORS ARE SOLID. Inside of the bed is rusted pretty bad, cab supports are rusted out and the area above them on the floor is effected as well, drivers cab corner is bad too but that is about it. Will run 60-70mph on the interstate all day long. I enjoy driving it just the way it is. Heck, they don't make 'em like this anymore. Funny how people respond to this truck everywhere I drive it. Battle scars and all, they still love it. Serious calls only please. I am an honest person and would love to insure you are happy with this truck. (812)631-9244 I have included 24 pics. If you are local you are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the truck in person. Truck is obviously sold "As Is" and "Where Is" but I will work with you and your shipper if you need me to load it up. No problem. |

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles
Tue, May 17 2016Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
