NOTE : Pick up is Nampa Idaho .Oregon Border ...No longer Scottsdale AZ ..If you are looking at this ad then you already know that these C10 trucks are among the coolest trucks on the road. This is my 1972 Chevy C10 pick up. It is a Fleetside short wheel base truck, which is by far the most desirable of all the C10 range! This really is an amazing find and a great basis for a restoration or just a mild lowering for a quick attitude change.
From the seller:the truck is showing 87,000 miles currently and was disclosed to me as being the original milage. I have no reason to doubt this statement as the truck is very unmolested and original. This is an original Blue and white truck which is by far, the best looking color combo on these trucks. The paint is still very presentable and with a buffer, it shines up pretty well. I did a quick once over on the whole truck and it comes back very nicely. The truck does have some rust as is typical of these trucks. It has the usual rust in the rockers, door bottoms, and cab corners. It also has rust in the bed. The worst is on the drivers side where it has rusted through. It could be patched but a replacement side is so cheap, that you could go that route if you wanted. I left it since the paint is still strong and matches the patina of the rest of the truck, and honestly it never bothered me. Also the tailgate has a dent in it where it looks like something was dropped on it, as you can see in the photos. . Everything underneath the truck is original and untouched!. Another great thing about this truck is it has all the factory trim still in place, both body and rocker trim giving it a much more deluxe look. All the trim is still there and in good shape.
For power this truck was born with a 350/350 combo motor and trans. It still has the original motor and trans( Matching Numbers) in it which is awesome! The motor runs strong and the trans goes through the gears like it is supposed to. I have not had any issues with the drivetrain in the truck. The truck starts up with just one pump of the gas pedal like it should. Just continue to change the oil regularly and service the other fluids and you should be good to go for many more miles. No strange noises, no stumbling, just good solid american V8 noise coming out of the original exhaust. This is what you would expect from a low mileage original truck. The brakes were recently serviced and work just as they should. This truck, being a 72 comes from the factory with disc front brakes. This particular truck does not have power brakes or power steering, but you never notice either being heavy. The tires are newer and have decent tread left on them, and the factory heater works as well and keeps the cab nice and warm.The shifter lever is hard to get into park and I will try to adjust it this week- I got it from the guy in Boise like that and have not adjusted it .
Inside the truck it is mostly original. The dash pad has been replaced with a new one and the steering wheel is new also. It looks very nice and clean inside with the new gauge bezel to clean up the dash. Seat cover does not have any splits or cuts in it. The door panels still have good color on them and both original arm rests are there too. The stock rubber floor mat is there but has some splits near the gas pedal. I chose to leave this as its original and fits the patina of the truck. Everything works on the dash, lights, heater, wipers, and all the gauges and warning lights. Overall the inside of this truck is very clean and great looking. All the glass on the truck is good too with no cracks or chips. Its well preserved.
In total this is a very cool truck that has been able to resist modifications throughout its life. Trucks like that are hard to find. Another great upside to this truck is that it comes with the original window sticker, owners manual along with the original owners info and the metal build tag as well as the dealership that sold the truck. Things like that solidify the history of this truck and make it so much more interesting. The glove box door build sticker is still there and in great shape showing all the options that this truck came with. The truck has a clean CA title in my name and is ready to go. This is a great candidate for a full restoration since everything is still original and born with the truck, or just use it as is as a daily driver or shop truck. Selling as is, where is without exception. Note- We moved from Arizona and now live in the Oregon area, theTruck is stored and to be picked up in Oregon/Nampa Idaho border area (ou choose), can assist with shipping..... Must be paid within 72 hours of auction end , selling at NO RESERVE... Thanks for checking it out. Note: Pick up is in Oregon/Idaho Border (near Nampa Idaho) ...no longer AZ.
On Jan-30-13 at 08:15:03 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had numerous emails on the truck but the answers are not being posted for some reason so I will add to the listing most of the questions: Yes the floors can be patched and do not need full replace, yes the bedsides need the same work , yes the fenders are good except the lower rear and the doors are the same ,yes it runs and drives out good, no work need on engine or trans except normal maint, yes the seat and interior is good, yes I have contacts to a shipper that goes to the east and midwest and down to Texas area. We live near the Idaho/Oregon border and the truck will be picked up at 97914. Thank you and good luck.

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.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
