1965 Gmc C1000 Shortbed Original Paint Patina Shop Truck Same As Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
1965 GMC C1000 Shortbed Small Window Pickup w/original paint and 98000 original miles. Original paint with great patina. No rust straight and dry California truck. This truck was manufactured and sold in California and was owned by the same owner in Sonora, CA from 1965 to 2012 when he was simply too old to drive it. The truck never left Sonora until I bought it. As a matter of fact it was sold by the Sonora GMC dealership and we will include the original license plate frame, protecto plate, and service manual. Truck was a plain jane no option 230ci/3 speed. Powertrain (now): 383CI Small Block Chevy built w/1995 5.7 4bolt 1 piece rear main truck engine block and 400ci crankshaft. Engine runs the 1995 swirl port heads, Edelbrock Aluminum Air Gap intake, Edelbrock Peformer Carb, HEI Ignition, aluminum water pump, and is dressed up with Newstalgia Fauxmobile Rocket valve covers and air cleaner and Speeway Rams Horn headers. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. Dual exhaust with quiet turbo mufflers. This engine was not built for this truck but I had to put it in there. It will smoke the tires right off the truck if you floor it. 700r4 Automatic OD transmission built by Bowtie Overdrives with their kickdown linkage, TV Cable, and valving. All transmission tuning was done by Bowtie and the trans shifts great. This trans was meant for another project but ended up going in this truck. Truck cruises at 70 or 80 but is capable of much more. Rear Axle and Differential are out of a 1972 C10 and have 3.73 axle ratio and 5 on 5 lug pattern. Brakes and Chassis: Truck was professionally lowered by Jimenez Brothers Customs (JBC) of Chop Cut Rebuild and Rod & Custom fame. Drop spindles and springs were used in front and the truck was converted to power disk brakes. Front lug pattern is 5 on 5 to match the rear. Truck was converted to power steering and a GM power brake booster and master cylinder w/proportioning valve were installed. The rear end was treated to an axle flip kit, shackles, and a mild C-notch (bed is not cut). Lowered high performance shocks were installed front and rear. The E-Brake is not hooked up yet but the parts are included in a box. Sway bars were added front and rear as well. Basically this truck steers, corners, and stops(and shifts) like a late model truck. Dropped cross members were powder coated and installed during the chassis modifications.
Paint and Body: As you can see we kept the exterior plain and just buffed the original paint to get the tree sap off. There is no rust through anywhere on the truck except 2 erasure head sized holes in the right front floor board. The rust was sanded and treated. Truck is completely dry. All glass is good and comes with all new rubber for glass, doors, windows, body, tailgate bumpers, door handles and mirrors (all new rubber is still in boxes). The old stuff works but we wanted new. New bed wood and rails were installed. The wood is stained and sealed and the rails were powder coated. Original hood was louvered and fits the look of the truck. Interior and Electrical: Seat is original and covered in black velour. We put a couple of “Mexican” blankets over it because they fit the look of the truck. A new carpet kit (black) is included as are new stainless door sills. Pinstripes were added to the interior and can be seen on the glove box and ash tray. All lights and electrical work except the original GMC radio. Heater and defroster work too (with no leaks) but the heater hoses were not reconnected after the engine swap. Wheels and Tires: Stock Chevy Steelies in 5 on 5 were stripped and powder coated satin black. Chevelle caps with GMC logos were installed. Tires are 205/75r15 white walls and have about 1000 miles on them now. A set of aluminum drag lite wheels with radials are included if that’s your thing. They’re free. Phil is selling the truck locally. Feel free to call him with any questions 951-905-2923 Youtube videos (poorly shot by myself) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcIAiWcOsgA&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqWxs3wDqag&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjMFUfYC09M&feature=youtu.be I built this truck for me with plans on keeping it for ever. No short cuts were taken but wife and kid got in the way and as you know things change. I passed it on to Phil who put the bed wood in etc. Phil has a bunch of other high end projects and is looking to send the GMC down the road. The only things left to do is install the carpet and new rubber kits (included) and I would install A/C (everything else is new or replaced). The truck was built with a SPAL electric fan. It has a thermo switch but Phil has it running direct. I personally think it sounds like a shop vac running at high speed and takes away from the rumble of the truck. I'm throwing in a brand new flex fan (still in the box). You can swap out the fan if the electric one annoys you as well. Truck runs drives and stops great. Suspension is low but has been modified to allow pretty good travel and new low profile bump stops were installed. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it on long trips (except for that no A/C thing). Additional pictures and videos are available upon request. |

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles
Tue, May 17 2016Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
