My wife purchased this truck in the early 1990's with the intention of driving it and restoring it back to the original factory condition.
This truck is a standard model cab, 3 speed Manual Column Shift with a heater. It also has the factory correct/original am radio not hooked up. To our knowledge, my wife is the 3rd owner and our belief is it has always been a California truck (current registration is South Dakota but it has never been there).
THE NOT SO GOOD......
It has rust in all the usual places; a little worse on the right upper rocker panel and right lower door area (nothing that can't be repaired). NO RUST goes through completely to the exterior. No salt used on the roads in Southern California where this truck has been.
: - ) NOW FOR THE GOOD PART : - )
We started to plan for a restoration because all the original parts were (and still are) on this truck except the hubcaps. It runs good; clutch and pressure plate have less than a 1000 (one thousand) miles on it and a new battery, cables and regulator were installed this month. Oil changed in engine and air filter as well as fresh valve adjustment. Spare tire and wheel included (although no hanging mechanism which can easily be obtained).
When we bought this truck, the speedometer / odometer did not work so we had no idea what the actual mileage was. About 15 years ago we had the speedometer / odometer repaired and the mileage is currently at about 1700 miles. Yes! That's not a typo.... we only put about 1700 miles on this truck in the past 15 years!
New Restoration parts included:
New carpet and reupholstered original equipment seat installed
Interior Mirror and New glove box installed
All the following items listed are new in the box (these parts were going to be installed during the restoration):
Front and Rear Window Rubber
Driver and Passenger side Felt lined window channels
Wind wing rubber kit
New tail lamp lens and gaskets
Extra rear view mirror
The previous owner moved the signal light switch out of the column and hung it under the dash (it works). We hung after market gauges under the dash (easily removed) and original idiot lights are still operational. It also has an aftermarket am/fm cassette player attached under the dash but not permanently mounted to eliminate any modifications / holes in the original dash (easily removed). This truck runs and drives as it should but if the buyer chooses, this will make a great winter restoration project. If you follow ebay, two weeks ago a restored 1965 Chevrolet Step side short bed sold for $21,600.
This truck comes with an original era shop manual (not the small Haynes or Chilton's type), new points, condenser and u-joints in a box. It also comes with an excellent condition locking Delta Aluminum Diamond Plate tool box (clamped, not drilled, to the bed) $300 item.
To make it clear, this truck is a turn key, fully operational non restored running truck with about $2000.00 worth of fresh parts ready for your restoration..... or a daily driver as it sits!
This truck comes with a fully transferrable Clear, South Dakota Title so ownership can be transferred to your state.
Vehicle is being offered with a fair reserve and is available for inspection approximately 45 minutes north of San Diego, CA.

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The 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.

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.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
