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.

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).

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady gives Chevy Colorado to Malcolm Butler [w/poll]

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Winning the Super Bowl, we'd imagine, is pretty sweet. Winning the MVP award at the Super Bowl, even more so – for many reasons, among them that you get a brand new Chevy Colorado, packed full of, you know... technology and stuff. Of course this year's Most Valuable Player was none other than Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quaterback who was crowned Super Bowl MVP for the third time and lead the Pats to win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. He makes tens of millions every season, and Mrs. Brady (a.k.a. Gisele Bundchen) probably makes an extraordinarily pretty penny herself. So what does one of the most successful and wealthy players in NFL history need with a new pickup truck? Not a whole lot, apparently: the Boston Business Journal reports that he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback who intercepted Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson's pass on the Patriots' one-yard line with only twenty seconds to go and sealed the victory for New England. Which strikes us as a fitting gesture, even if Brady did keep the MVP trophy for himself.

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.
