I have too many projects, so I am trying to downsize. This is a rare truck with a lot of potential. I don't have enough time for multiple projects, so I am selling a few. More will be listed soon.
This auction is for a 1967 Chevrolet C10 short bed (clear title). It is a rescued barn find that has been cleaned up. A frame-off restoration has been started. Also included is a 1969 Chevrolet C10 long bed (clear title). I also have a 1992 GMC Sierra SLX short bed step side that I am including (title signed in wrong place - easy to remedy if necessary).
The 1967 Chevrolet C10 is a one year only cab (small back glass). The fenders are also unique in 1967. It will be a nice looking truck when done. I was in the process of restoring this truck for my wife. It was going to be pink (bright metallic pink). A frame-off restoration was started and not completed. It is a very solid truck for the age. A lot of the hard work is done. The frame is undercoated. The inner fenders are undercoated. Part of the cab is undercoated. The bed needs undercoated. Minor rust repair needs to be done before the rest of the cab and the bed can be undercoated. The firewall and inner fenders are painted pink. The radiator support is painted black. The inner fenders and radiator support were removed from the 1969 Chevrolet C10 parts truck (were very nice). The fenders are nice and would take minimal work to prepare for paint. The cab is in decent shape. The cab corners needed to be replaced. Someone tried to build a cab corner for the passenger side...I would recommend using the cab corners from the 1969 C10 (need minor rust repairs) or ordering new cab corners. Both rocker panels were replaced. The floor is solid but needs a couple of small patches. The floor supports were rusty. Both supports on the passenger side are replaced. Both supports on the driver side should be replaced. I have the rear support but can't find the front support. I will look for the other support and will include it if I find it. I have new bolts to bolt the cab down. The bed is solid but will need a few small patches. There are also a couple of small holes in the bed floor to repair. The body is assembled but not all bolted together. Everything will need to be adjusted and bolted together better. The bed is not attached (just sitting on the frame), so it will be easy to remove and repair. It was loosely assembled for transport. There is a lot of potential here.
The truck has been lowered. The front springs are attached. The rear springs are sitting in the proper place but not attached. The parts truck should have the necessary parts. I have a few new bolts to include. The front shocks are new. I would swap the rear shocks with the parts truck (they are not very old). The truck will have a nice stance after the drivetrain is installed. The tires are new...and the polished aluminum wheels are almost new (look really nice)...bolted on with new lug nuts. It has the big-n-little treatment (taller and wider in the rear - shorter and narrower in the front). 31x10.50x15 in the rear and 215x65x15 in the front mounted on 15x8 wheels.
The intention was to paint the truck bright metallic pink with black stripes. I have the pink paint and will include it. I was going to use the steel bumper from the 1969 C10 on the front and a steel roll pan in the rear (new one included). It had a nice rear bumper with a receiver hitch, but that was removed. It is included just in case you prefer to use it. I also have a really nice front bumper and new brackets if you prefer chrome bumpers. The front bumper that was removed was a little rough but would make a nice core to have rechromed. I was going to change the doors (the doors from the 1969 C10 are really nice). The interior was going to be pink and black as well. I was going to replace the carpet and dye the seat (which is really nice for the age). I was considering using the step side bed from the 1992 GMC. It is in great shape other than one bed side (rear bumper damaged it). I have a nice replacement bedside though (easy to change). The tailgate is pretty nice...the floor is solid and straight...nice bed. I have a plastic roll pan that I can include (used but needs a little work). The 1967 C10 would look nice with a step side bed (I have seen it done many times). I was told that the 1992 GMC could be used as a donor so the 1967 C10 could be converted to 5-lug wheels. It is currently a 6-lug truck (built that way when new).
I also have an engine and transmission to include. The engine is a freshly built 350 that was driven a handful of miles in another toy before being removed and painted a different color so it could be used in the 1967 C10. The intake and valve covers were changed at that time. It has an aluminum 4-barrel Edelbrock Performer intake and aluminum Edelbrock valve covers. Edelbrock intake gaskets were used on the intake. Molded rubber reusable gaskets were used on the valve covers. It has a chrome fuel pump block-off plate so an electric pump can be used. I don't have a fuel pump for it. I also don't have headers (I may have a set of cast exhaust manifolds but will have to look). I have an Edelbrock 650 carburetor and Edelbrock air cleaner to include. All brackets, pulleys, and accessories are included. The transmission is a freshly built Turbo 350 that was built for a 1970 Chevelle and was bolted to an engine only for mock-up (no miles). It is supposed to have a mild stall converter. The 1967 C10 has a 12-bolt rear end. It previously had a 396 engine and a turbo 400 transmission.
I am including the original owners manual and supplemental materials in the original bag (for the 1967 Chevrolet C10). The last picture shows the 1967 C10 prior to being disassembled. A little work and some paint will make this a sweet ride.
These trucks are also for sale locally...so I reserve the right to end the auction early. I will add a buy-it-now price if necessary. I prefer to sell everything as a whole package, but I may be willing to split things up. This auction is for everything.
Basically everything you would need is included. I am sure there are a few little things you will need, but the majority is here. I am including many extra parts for 1967-72 Chevrolet trucks. A lot of the hard work is done. It needs to be finished and enjoyed.
I will be happy to show you the trucks if you would like to give them a personal inspection. Also feel free to contact me with questions.
I am willing to deliver everything for a small fee...but I prefer to have the new owner pick up. I will help you load if you need help. Contact me with questions.
Thanks and Happy Bidding.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks
Tue, May 26 2015General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?
Thu, Jun 23 2016The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
