1966 Chevy Shortbed Stepside Custom Cab Trim. New engine and transmission and interior. California truck with Black plates. NO RESERVE.
Let me get your attention first with the details and then follow up with the rest.
This is a desirable, stock, very solid California stepside shortbed with Custom Cab trim. Rebuilt 350, 30 over bore, moderate cam, Holley carb, MSD ignition, Chrome alternator and 12 month warranty. Aluminum radiator. New dual exhaust. Rebuilt 3 speed auto trans with warranty. Rebuilt balanced driveshaft with U joints. New brake master and wheel cylinders and shoes. New upholstered stock bench seat with tweed insert. New molded stock carpet. New windshield and seal. New door seals. New bed wood and bed strips. NOS vintage AM/FM Cassette radio and speakers.
I am done spending money on this truck and it is being sold. This was to be the nice vintage truck I always wanted with great patina to drive every day. We looked a long time to find one that was not rotted out. I even put my fathers shop logo on the door from when I was a kid in Fullerton California. I wildly underestimated the costs to restore and refit the truck and ran out of funds before I could finish with air conditioning, wide tires and lowering springs. With over $7K into it I am not done yet but need to cash out. It has a vintage patina that took 45 years to create. No intention of ever painting it. I posted a lot of body pictures to show how solid the cab, fender tips and wheel wells are. It is Shortbed Custom cab so it has the extra trim and the full gauges on the dash. All the expensive and hard work has been done. It runs very quick and stops. All the lights, wipers etc work. I replaced the gas sender and had the tank flushed and cleaned and the gas gauge worked. Then it stopped working. It reads when the key is off but swings to zero when the key is on. Strange?? So not working correctly. New windshield and seal and door seals. The wood had issues like so many old trucks so new wood and bed strips were installed.
As listed above, we rebuilt most all the running gear. The engine and trans have warranties at a local shop in Temecula California. The interior is comfortable, quiet and has a new car smell. Dual exhaust has a very nice rumble but the tone is not too loud. I found an NOS stereo still in the box from the 70's and it sounds great with new speakers. Break out your Beach Boys and Eagles cassettes.
The truck runs great and can be driven anywhere. But it is old so sold as-is please for this kind of money. The warranties transfer over for the engine and trans but is a local shop. So please no regrets or complaints. Do not overbid to secure the win, and then attempt to kick the tires when you get here. I have a 100% feedback for selling fair and leave room for the buyer to drive the truck, work on it, and still make money later. I do not want any issues. The terms are $500 paypal or cash deposit in 24 hours and balance within 3 days by cash or bank check express mail. I can store the truck here for 30 days or more while you get transportation. Just pay on time. We move on to back-up buyers if you miss the terms. Sorry, but the idea is to sell the truck for money and to move on. I will not wait weeks for the funds before moving on to the next high bidder.
Selling the truck local for $8.5K. Always interested in hearing what the truck is worth to you.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
