'70 C10 Chevy Step Side Truck:

ENGINE COMPARTMENT:

The engine was kept stock as I wanted it to be practical and dependable for everyday anywhere driving. There is not a peck or tick whatsoever in the engine compartment. Truck starts, idles and runs perfectly.

- Fresh 350 4 bolt main engine w/ 350 turbo automatic tranny…truck runs 80-85mph on the interstate with no problem whatsoever

- Weiand intake

-Coated headers w/ Flowmasters (40 series)

-New plugs/wires/oil change...everything in drive train has been recently serviced and is ready to go

-Trans cooler installed

-3 core radiator upgrade…this truck can idle in the desert for days and not run hot

-16-18mpg on average

 

EXTERIOR:

The sheet metal of this truck is in excellent shape(perfectly straight)….it only has normal wear that adds to the overall character of a patina vehicle. There is a small ding in the crease of the front right fender(see pics/video)…easy to fix if you want to “slick” the truck. All the suspension/steering components of this truck were rebuilt/replaced. 

-Suspension is a 4/6 complete drop kit from Early Classic Enterprise that includes drop spindles, springs, KYB GR2 shocks w/ relocators, super track bar….this kit provides for a killer stance with awesome ride without any shake or vibration at any speed

-5 lug with New 20” Boss 8.5 front & back wheels w/ Michelin tires....this truck was built to drive so I went with the same size wheels and tires so they could be rotated properly.

-Power Steering & Power Disc Brakes up front with New front calipers/rotors/pads/rear drums and shoes

-Note that this truck has the ‘73-’87 front end suspension & brake upgrade

-Front end professionally lined

-New bearing carrier

-Early Classic hidden hitch with adjustable air shocks in the rear for towing/hauling

-Note that this truck has the ‘73-’87 front end suspension & brake upgrade

-Sway bar with new  Moog bushings

-Cab mounts are in excellent shape

-Cab corners/rockers/kick panels /all the notorious places for rust on these trucks are in great shape

-GM Bahama blue base coat/ clear coat…..beautiful color!

-Floor of the bed is showing its age, but again it just adds to the nostalgic appeal of the truck

-I have tons of undercarriage pics that I can text...just let me know

-The doors shut as good as a new Chevy truck

-Note that the Shop Logo is superficial to the clear coat, and with a little lacquer thinner, can be removed in about 5 mins.

 

INTERIOR:

It would be extremely difficult to make the interior of one of these trucks any nicer and maintain the original integrity.

-Cab has been insulated with sound mat/jute

-New floor mat

-Original style AM/FM radio with cd/iPod/mp3 upgrade & new speaker

- All glass and cab seals are in great shape

Overall, this is a beautiful truck that is extremely nice and super clean with a lot of character and personality.  The truck is a shop/patina truck as is, but the sheet metal/body on the truck is in such great shape it is ready to block sand and paint if you want a traditional show truck. There is one small ding in the crease of the front passenger fender(see pic./video) and the front bed petition has a slight bend…these quirks add to the overall appearance of the patina style, but if you want to “slick” the truck, they will need to be addressed. If you like the shop/patina style trucks, this one is super nice.  It was not just thrown and pieced together, and if you see it, you will realize the attention to detail that was taken with this truck.  This truck was built to drive with no excuses, and I have described it to the best of my knowledge. If you have detailed questions about anything with respect to the truck, please do not hesitate to ask.  I understand that it is difficult to buy a truck by looking at pics miles away, but please understand that I have sold through ebay going on 14 years now and have never received a single negative feedback.  I am not trying to hide anything with this truck and encourage anyone interested to come look.  Most vehicles look better in pics than in person.....and trust me, I having driven countless hours with only regret and dissappointment at the end of the venture.... but I promise you will not get that experience with the vehicles/items I sell.  I guarantee the truck looks better in person than in the pics. I am not trying to hide anything on this truck and encourage anyone interested in a C10 to come look. You are more than welcome to send a 3rd party inspector to assess the truck and make sure it is describe accurately.  If need be, I will do my best with assisting with shipping of the truck, but the buyer is responsible for setup and all expenses.  If you have any questions or want other pics, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Serious inquires only!  Payment in cash, wire transfer, or cashier’s check from bank(check will need to be verified before truck is released). Clean/Clear title in my name with matching numbers on the original door tag and glove box….. Email, call 606-598-9953 evenings after 5pm, or the best way to reach me is via text at 606-813-2045 ANYTIME.  If interested, don't be afraid to make an offer.....all I can say is "NO"...Please check out my '66 C10 Step Side truck listed in another auction......I also have a sweet '71 C10 Cheyenne Super that is a cool driver as is or is perfect for a winter project restore...if interested, let me know....Thanks!

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu

Tue, Jul 28 2015

The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way. Related Video: GM Paving Way to Smarter and Safer Driving at All-New Active Safety Test Area 22 crash-avoidance technologies offered on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models MILFORD, Mich. 2015-07-24 – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer 22 different active safety technologies across their 2016 model year U.S. lineups, ranging from driver alerts to those that automatically intervene and assist the driver in critical situations. Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
