1965 C-10 SWB Stepside

 

1965 C-10. A nice driving, good looking old cruiser. I am selling this truck for my friend who is going through a divorce. He now lives in Florida and I rescued this truck form his old house here in NC before his soon to be ex-wife did something with it. I put some work into the truck to bring it to it's current state. The truck has its fair share of dents, dings and scratches, but all in all its a complete and solid old truck. I have done my best to photograph the truck so study the pictures carefully. The 6cyl and 3 speed manual transmission work perfectly. The truck runs, drives, and stops with no issues. The speedometer does work, but I'm not sure if the other gauges do.

The exterior is satin black with a satin white roof. The paint looks to be a few years old as it has chips and scratches is a few places. The passenger door's catch is missing and the door has a small dent where it has hit the front fender. The bed planks are pressure treated pine boards that have been burned with a propane torch to reverse the grains and then stained. The tailgate has some rust through at the top of it (pictured), but it has been painted and doesnt look like it could spread. Personally I would just drive this truck as is because it looks cool. The floor pans had rust issues, but were repaired by the previous owner and are now solid. The blue dot tailights are brand new with drilled bare steel brackets.

The wheels are original steelies that have been stripped to bare steel with the centers painted white, then clear coated. The tires have a ton of tread left, but are starting to crack from age.

The interior is blue and black with an original blue seat that is in great condition. The radio is a newer aftermarket kenwood with speakers placed throughout the cab and works well. The ignition switch needs to be replaced beucause the return spring inside is broken. It still works, you just have to turn the key back to the left once the engine is running. The glass is all good and the windows roll up and dont with no issues. The doors open and shut perfectly.

The engine has been cleaned and painted and has a new battery and air cleaner.

I have listed this as honestly and completely as possible and I am ready to answer any and all questions you might have as I'm sure I missed something. I am proud of my 100% positive feedback and I strive to continue it so bid with confidence. This truck's reserve is low as my friend is just trying to get his money back from the truck. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction's end and full payment is due within 7 days. If you have negative feedback or less than 10 transactions please contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Please do not contact me with any trade offers.

The 1965 Texas License plate does not come with the truck. I installed it to illustrate placement of the plate.


On May-03-14 at 19:13:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

 I have the title in my hand. It is a clean, clear and open North Carolina title.

I was asked about the floors, cab corners and cab mounts. The floors and cab corners had rust issues in the past, but have been repaired. You cant even tell the cab corners have been repaired unless you crawl underneath. The cab mounts have rust, but they are still fully functional.

 

I was able to talk my buddy into lowering the reserve. (I really want my driveway space back) The reserve has been lowered drastically!!! Bid to win.

This truck is a great deal for a running and driving '65 c-10.

Once again if you have any questions please shoot them my way.

New Chevy Malibu helps parents monitor teen driver's performance

Thu, Apr 2 2015

For teens, a driver's license can represent freedom. For parents, it can represent fear. Now there's a way parents can alleviate some of their worries and monitor their teen drivers. The 2016 Chevy Malibu, which debuted Wednesday at the New York Auto Show, contains a new feature that tracks driving performance and helps inexperienced drivers rein in some of their more dangerous habits. Accessed through a password in the car's infotainment system, parents can learn how far their child has driven, how fast they've gone and how many times they've braked hard, among other features. "It's an in-vehicle report card that gives parents information," says Mary Ann Beebe, one of the lead engineers who designed the system. "It's meant to be used as a teaching tool. Parents can sit down and talk with their teen about, 'Here are some areas where you're doing well, and here's some where you can use improvement.'" Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens ages 16 to 19, and only last week, AAA released a study that found their driving behavior can leave them particularly susceptible to crashes. General Motors had sought ways to help educate and train younger drivers. In an era where data can be harvested from cars, monitoring performance is one way to provide information. Parents access the Teen Driver system in the car through a PIN-number entered into the Malibu's infotainment system. The report card can only be seen in the car – so far, it's not available via a smartphone app, like some other types of on-board diagnostic information. The system is activated by the use of a specially programmed key fob that lets the system know who is driving the car. Once the vehicle recognizes the key fob, it takes preventive measures to ensure safer conduct behind the wheel: Until the driver and front passenger buckle their seat belts, the radio is muted. Safety systems such as forward-collision assist and electronic stability control are automatically turned on. Parents can preset preferred speed limits, and drivers will hear a warning if that sound is exceeded. "We have these great technologies, and we want to make sure we turn them on for the teen," Beebe said. There are no geo-location aspects of the program, and data is stored on the car, not uploaded to the Cloud or even seen by General Motors, she said.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?
