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.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

We really want to use an eCrate to restomod an old GM car. Here's what we'd build

Fri, Oct 30 2020

You hopefully saw the news today of GM's introduction of its Connect and Cruise eCrate motor and battery package, which effectively makes the Bolt's electric motor, battery pack and myriad other elements available to, ah, bolt into a different vehicle. It's the same concept as installing a gasoline-powered crate motor into a classic car, but with electricity and stuff.  This, of course, got us thinking about what we'd stuff the eCrate into. Before we got too ahead of ourselves, however, we discovered that the eCrate battery pack is literally the Bolt EV pack in not only capacity but size and shape. In other words, you need to have enough space in the vehicle to place and/or stuff roughly 60% of a Chevy Bolt's length. It's not a big car, but that's still an awful lot of real estate. There's a reason GM chose to simply plop the pack into the bed and cargo area of old full-size SUVs. Well that, and having a rear suspension beefy enough to handle about 1,000 pounds of batteries.  So after that buzz kill, we still wanted to peruse the GM back catalog for classics we'd love to see transformed into an electric restomod that might be able to swallow all that battery ... maybe ... possibly ... whatever, saws and blow torches exist for a reason.  1971 Buick Riviera Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: If you’re going to build an electric conversion, why not do it with style? ThatÂ’s why IÂ’m choosing a 1971-1973 Buick Riviera. You know, the one with the big glass boat-tail rear end that ends in a pointy V. Being a rather large vehicle with a big sloping fastback shape, IÂ’m hoping thereÂ’s enough room in the trunk and back seat to pack in the requisite battery pack. That would likely require cutting away some of the metal bulkhead that supports the rear seatback, but not so much that a wee bit of structural bracing couldnÂ’t shore things up. The big 455-cubic-inch Buick V8 up front will obviously have to go. Remember, this was the 1970s, so despite all that displacement, the Riviera only had around 250 horsepower (depending on the year and the trim level). So the electric motorÂ’s 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque ought to work as an acceptable replacement.   1982 Chevrolet S10 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: OK, so the name "E-10" is already taken by a completely different truck, but let's not let labels get in the way of a fun idea.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
