Please contact me if you have less than “5” feedback. I will cancel your bid if you do not contact me first.
NO RESERVE…ORIGINAL is the key word here. A ONE OWNER for 47 years. I purchased about a month ago from the second owner to sell it, he drove it for a year or so and made some minor repairs that I will share below. This truck is complete, solid in every way and completely untouched, unpainted, unaltered, etc. and it runs great. It has been my daily driver. It has a 6 Cylinder 230 ci engine with 100k miles and the 3 speed on the column. Clutch is good and shifts through the gears with no problem and stops straight.. It has little rust considering 49 years, mostly all of it is just surface patina. It has stayed in the South Carolina weather for its entire life. It seems like it was just exposed to some humidity based on the surface patina. 3 of the 4 cab corners are in excellent shape. The floor boards are solid and the undercarriage is in great condition. The Original Spare tire is still under the original oak bed (which still has some of the original black paint). I would not suggest running the spare tire of course, It’s the tire that came with the truck. The truck comes with the ORIGINAL Protect-A-Plate Warranty Book, the ORIGINAL Manual, and the ORIGINAL Paper dealer plate. The original paper / cardboard cover is still over the gas tank and under the dash. Also, all gauges are working as they should. Nothing here is aftermarket or altered. It’s the perfect restoration, daily driver, or rat rod candidate. It’s hard to go to Home Depot without having to answer questions about this beauty and it is getting impossible to find one of these in this condition, with this natural patina.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
Rebuilt Carburetor
New Cap, Plugs, Wires
Valve Cover Gasket
New Heater Core and Fan Motor
New Muffler and Tail Pipe
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Leaks a little oil around the oil pan
Back right blinker lights up but does not blink
A couple of springs on the drivers side bench are collapsed, does not affect driving.
Let me set some expectations for you about this truck. If you have not driven a 1965 Chevy C10, here is what to expect: Always get the truck up to temp first before you drive down the road. These are referred to as “Cold Weather Chevys” and they like to operate around 175-200 degrees. Prepare to work a little harder in this truck as It has power nothing. It is not geared to be driven much faster than about 65. It will however do 55 all day long and you can take it anywhere. The gear set up in these trucks are not synced up, so you will have to spend some time getting used to where you need to be at what rpm. It’s a fun truck to drive.

GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
