1979 C10 Patina, bagged, shop truck.

 

Unique, patina’d 79 square body that has been daily driven for the past few years (weather permitting).  Can drive this one anywhere and get plenty of attention.

 

Very solid original truck

50,475 miles on the odometer.  (Do not know if this is original miles or not)

Originally built by RPM Hot Rods

Custom faux patina painted by Jerome Borris

350 engine, T350 trans – runs smooth and fires up with 1 pump of the pedal every time.  Strong trans, shifts smooth.

Porterbuilt Drop-member with factory arms modified for air bags

Porterbuilt 4-link rear with stepped rear rails

Front and rear bags, AVS switch box with Parker Valves.  7 switch AVS controller to raise & lower all 4 corners at once, front/rear separately, or 4 corner individually controlled

Lays frame when dropped

Low ride height, about 4” at the rockers, so it looks cool driving not just when it is dumped when parked.

Full steering travel lock to lock with out rubbing (custom inner fenders raised and widened for clearance)

Custom billet “steelies” 20’s and 22’s with original center caps.  Nitto tires

Custom sheet metal bed floor and wheel tubs bead rolled and bedlined.

Tie downs in the bed for your bike, bobber, or just hauling gear.

Pockets in back to hold army style gas cans

Actual gas tank mounted below the bed.  Filled through chrome cap in bed floor.  Fuel gauge works and is accurate.

 

Interior is nice and fairly clean.  The rug and carpet on the lower doors could probably use replacing or a good shampooing, but it fits the character of the truck as is so I never changed it.  Can be purchased new from LMC or Brother’s truck for a hundred bucks.  (Wet spot on the driver floor from wet shoes in pictures.  There are no stains or discoloration in the carpet.)   New seat foam and cover.  Cover has a weathered look that again goes perfectly with the truck.  Air gauge put into the lower left of the factory gauge cluster.  Everything works except the speedo.  Cable needs to be replaced, I never got around to doing it.  GPS App on my iPhone was free and worked good enough!  Otherwise the truck is mechanically and electrically sound.

 

New Alpine stereo installed this summer ($1,500 in parts) .  Alpine top of the line head unit with Blue Tooth, hands free phone, ipod, CD, etc…  Amps mounted below the seat.  Two 5.5” Alpine speakers in the door and two alpine 6x9’s in the rear cab corners.  Rockford Fosgate P3 sub behind the seat.  A lot of stereo for a small cab, but it sounds bitchen.

 

This is a bad ass truck that I hate to sell, but have a baby on the way and a few other projects.  Not interested in trades or low ball offers.  Do not bid if you do not plan to pay for it.  Clean, clear title in my name and ready to be signed over to you!

 

Located in Mundelein, IL (Northern suburb of Chicago).  Truck is available to inspect by appointment.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General 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:
