83' Chevy C-10 Custom W/ Built Sbc 355 on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Texas, United States
|
Hello,
This is my 83' Chevy C-10 that I've had for a number of years now. My reason for selling is financial. I'm starting school in the fall, and the cost, not to mention this truck being a second vehicle, has forced me to sell. I'd love to keep it because it is a very fun truck to drive, and could easily become a functional daily drive for anyone interested. With that said, the truck is currently NOT RUNNING. There is an ignition issue involving the Accel distributor that's currently in the truck, so I've ordered a new one and my father (who helps me with the maintenance) and I will be putting it in before the conclusion of this auction. I will keep this posting updated with details about the progress of that repair. Now to the fun part. This truck has a loooong list of aftermarket parts that have been incorporated. The engine was out of a 96' Chevy Silverado (Vortec, throttle body w/ Vortec cast iron heads), which we had machined. This is to include a three angle valve job on the Vortec heads. The lower end includes a Scat crank, Kieth Black pistons, Melling oil pump, and a Milodon oil pan. The entire top end was outfitted with new parts, and included a Comp hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holly 600 CFM carb. I'd estimate that the engine has around 2,000 miles on it. When the distributor wasn't having issues, we were also having issues getting the truck to idle down properly. This could probably be resolved with some carb tuning that is beyond my scope of mechanical ability. I'll also mention the aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum air filter cover, and Holley electric fuel pump that is mounted on the frame, near the driver side door. On the exhaust side of things, the truck has headers and dual exhaust that dumps right behind the rear axle (photograph of undercarriage shows this). The mufflers were a Flowmaster replica whose name I don't remember, and I've never been aware of the brand of headers. At idle the truck has a mild exhaust note, but when it's revved it really sounds good. An aggressive sound that isn't just a bunch of noise, but not incredibly loud like some of these guys are running. The transmission is a Saginaw four speed with a Hurst 4 speed shifter. I was never able to get the linkage just perfect, but the truck functionally shifts in to each gear. The clutch and flywheel (Lakewood) is also new. In regards to the body, the paint job is not perfect. The body has dings, scratches, orange peel, poor body work in different places. I've included photographs of the majority of these issues, but I might have overlooked some. I can say that the truck is completely rust free. Wheels and tires are Chevrolet rally wheels; 15x10, FireHawk Indy 500, P295/60 R15 on the rear, 15x8 Yokohama Avid S/T P235/60 R15. The tread is not great, but acceptable all the way around. The passenger's side front tire has a slow leak. The bed of the truck I did not photograph because it needs to be cleaned out, but it is painted in primer and has all the normal wear and tear of a 30+ year old truck bed. Inside the truck are a lot of new parts as well. The carpet, seat belts are both new, and the seat has been reapholstered, which alone cost me a little over 300 dollars. Outside of this, I've reused some old interior parts. The dash is badly cracked in a few places, and I've included a picture of this. The gauge cluster and steering well don't look perfect either. All the glass on the truck is crack free from what I've noticed, and crystal clear. There are some other noteworthy, small issues like how the glove compartment doesn't have a latch, the kicker panels haven't been replaced, the hood popper hasn't been remounted. As the auction progresses I will continue listing any issues that I feel are significant, but I think the important thing for potential bidders to keep in mind is the truck is by no means perfect. I know that doesn't make me sound like much of a salesman, but I want to be upfront so I don't have any issues post-transaction. I want to be transparent about the fact that this truck will need a little TLC here and there, but paired with the right owner could be a real joy and asset to someone's life. Happy bidding. Some additional details I forgot: -I do have a brand new, chrome rear bumper (photographed), but I do not have the mounting brackets or hardware. -The truck's odometer read 30,190 miles, but I am certain it has rolled over once so 130,190 miles. -There is no factory AC in the truck, but I have an aftermarket system that came with it that will be included in the sale. -The trim around the passenger door has a few missing pieces of hardware -Chipped paint at the top of the front windshield -Buyers are responsible for pickup -Cash or cashier's check payment methods will require verification of funds Thanks! |

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's
Thu, Oct 4 2018GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
