Up for sale is a 1968 C10 Shortbed truck that was rebuilt around five years ago and is a great driver. VIN decodes as an original V8 2WD truck out of the Fremont, CA plant. Clean 350 motor (010 casting) has less than 15k miles on it and just had a 200r4 overdrive transmission installed about three months ago by Danny's in Greensboro, NC with a new B&M Mega shifter (have receipt for trans/converter/driveshaft & install for $1,750, has a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty that started when installed in April).  Trans was built with aftermarket clutches, converter and TCI lockup kit.  Driveshaft was shortened and rebalanced with a new yoke. Trans shifts into overdrive too early for my liking so I use the B&M shifter to manually shift from drive to overdrive. Motor has a new Edelbrock 600 carb with electric choke, Edelbrock aluminum Performer intake, new Chevrolet valve covers, new distributor cap, new rotor, new button, new plugs & plug wires, new starter, new hoses & clamps and a new Cadillac air breather. Truck has new ceramic coated mid-length headers and 2 1/2 exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that dump at the axle. Interior was redone at the the time of the rebuild and has very little wear and tear if any. Front seat was completely reupholstered and new black carpet installed.  Has brand new front and rear chrome bumpers, brand new side maker lens, brand new taillight and reverse lens as well. The paint shows well and is in pretty good shape but there is a little body work showing. Mainly where the gas cap was smoothed, spot on the front of the passenger fender, two spots on the hood and a few nicks here and there.  Nothing major but wanted to point it out so that a perfect paint job isn't expected. Fuel tank was removed from behind the seat and replaced with an in-bed RDS toolbox conversion tank ($700 bucks from Northern Tool). Nice conversion as it eliminates fuel odors from the cab and it holds 41-gallons, so you're not filling up for long road trips. Truck has power steering, power brakes and with the overdrive it cruises great down the highway at around 2,000 rpm.  Truck is currently daily driven at least 30 miles everyday and will continue to be driven till sold.  Please keep in mind this is not a show truck but is also not priced as one.  Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, if anyone wants more pics or if you'd like to come and inspect the truck in person feel free to call me.

Also, below the VIN tag in the door jamb there is an additional tag that says:

LIGHT DEPT. 

Not sure if was possibly an original government issued truck or anything but had a guy view the truck last week that asked if I knew the significance and I'm not sure about it....maybe a C10 guru can chime in on some info.


Also, had plans of completing an LS / T56 swap but need to focus on other projects.  Available to winning bidder if interested, I have a LS1 aluminum block based 383 stroker with ported heads, FAST 92mm intake, Jesel rockers, custom Comp cam, 42lb injectors, etc that made 477rwhp on the dyno.  Also have some other swap parts available.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
