Greetings,


I bought this truck at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction in January, 2012.  The paperwork I received at auction stated it had a frame off restoration in 2008.  I drove it home to Charleston, SC after auction....400 miles with no issues. It's always been a very good running machine and I've done several key upgrades since for safety and reliability.  If you've ever restored one of these trucks, you know how expensive it can be.  I never skimped on parts as you will see below. I will make it as brief as possible but I want you to know what you are getting if you choose to buy my truck. In SC, you must have AC. This truck has a aftermarket unit that works and blows very cold. Also has a working heater. 

BRAKE UPGRADE:
 Parts bill from this alone was $1231 ( have receipt) all parts are easily replaced should/when they wear out.
Purchased from Performance Online out of California
1963-70 6 lug stock spindle disc brake wheel kit (deluxe)
Cross drill and gas slot upgrade
Braided stainless brake hose upgrade to 10mm with a GM Caliper
Power brake booster kit 11" disc fronts.  drum rear(rebuilt)
New brake proportioning valve

IGNITION UPGRADE: 
 All MSD to include MSD 6AL / MSD coil and distributor as well as spark plug wires.  Carb was rebuilt and jetted when ignition was done by experienced Chevy mechanic who also races at local tracks.  Truck fires right up and runs perfect with a "just right"rumble that you would want and expect. 

STEERING UPGRADE: 
Installed chrome IdidIt column shift with TILT ($421).  New Grant wheel (signals and horn function)

COOLING upgrade:
American Radiator  with two 1" cores. Dual fans.  Keeps truck running at no greater than 190 Degrees even at 95 degrees here in Charleston. 

Miscellaneous: performed in 2008
Truck has aftermarket headers with new aluminum gaskets(2012)  and true dual flow master exhausts. 
New gas tank was installed in stock position. 

Just replaced the rear main seal (June2013) and I have a total replacement seal kit from Summit that will go to new owner so you have that covered down the road. Also replaced the oil pan(orange stock) and transmission pan (chrome) and their respective seals.  Rear differential was serviced last year with new cover (chrome) fluid and seal.  Has 3.73 gears. 

Almost forgot- Installed a 3 pt. seatbelt for driver and passenger from LMC Truck.

Truck starts/runs/drives/stops as it should. The front brakes do squeak a bit when they get hot. You might eliminate this with a different shoe compound-  these came with performance kit. Truck stops straight and true as is. 

All hoses are good, top hose was replaced when I put in radiator.  

The cab and the bed floor are original.  All other fenders and tailgate are replacements. There is a tiny bit of surface rust on passenger side interior door frame that is starting....about the size of two quarters.  It will need attention at some point but again, it has just started and is very minor. 

If you have any questions, please ask.

This is a turnkey truck.  I put it in one show and it won a trophy locally.  It's not absolutely perfect but it is very nice and something you can get in and drive and be very proud of for years to come.  It does get admiring looks and thumbs up whenever I drive. The  velocity yellow paint has a terrific shine and really fits a short bed muscle era truck. Speaking of muscle, this C10 will flat out get up and go! Ive never abused it, but I do enjoy  the sound and the acceleration it provides for a bit of a thrill from time to time.  It is tuned and ready with synthetic oil and non ethanol premium gasoline. I also use a zinc additive when changing oil just for longevity of internal parts.   I am selling because I am building a cabin in Western NC and I need the liquidity. I've enjoyed it and you will too. 

Of course there is no warranty on something of this age.  It is sold as is but I believe you could drive it just about anywhere if you wanted to.

I have a 100% Ebay rating and have sold 3 vehicles over the years on Ebay including a 2011 Cadillac CTSV that I drove to Utah for the buyer! I've had pleasant experiences on eBay and I am a nice man but please don't waste our time if you are not a serious buyer or do not have the funds to complete transaction. I will report non-paying bidders to eBay. 

 I expect a $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction close. I can store truck in my garage for 30 days until you or your shipper comes to get it. It must be paid in full for me to store. 

I will entertain reasonable offers. If you are out of USA, I would gladly drive truck to one of the ports here in Charleston to be shipped to you. (Buyer pays for actual shipping) The first vehicle I sold on eBay went to Holland!

Thanks for looking at my auction!

2022 Chevy Silverado HD gains Multi-Flex tailgate as an option

Mon, May 17 2021

GM is spreading the Multi-Pro Tailgate love around its truck lineup, and the Silverado HD is the latest pickup to gain the option. Just like the 2021 Silverado 1500, Chevy uses the “Multi-Flex” name for it in the HD, eschewing GMCÂ’s “Multi-Pro” branding for the bowtie vehicles. YouÂ’ll be able to option the tailgate on 2022 model year Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models. ItÂ’ll be available optionally in every trim, so thereÂ’s no need to grab a more expensive trim to gain access to the trick tailgate — youÂ’re also not required to take it in higher trims. Functionality is the same as the standard Silverado and Sierra.  The primary gate opens and closes like any other tailgate out there. ThereÂ’s a primary gate load stopper that allows you to put the gate down and still keep things from flying out the back (it can also be arranged such that the load stopper is at a higher height by using the inner gateÂ’s stopper). The inner gate folds down perpendicular to the ground to allow closer access to the bed. A full-width step is available if you fold both “gates” down and pop out the inner panel. And lastly, the inner gate can be lowered to use it as a small work space. You can watch the short video above to get a quick run through of all the positions, or scroll through the gallery at the top of this post. Besides the tailgate, Chevy says the 2022 Silverado HD is gaining a new Greenstone Metallic exterior paint color. Other changes for 2022 were not detailed at this time, but Chevy says the trucks with this tailgate should be available sometime this summer. Related video:

Camaro driver clocked at 171 miles per hour

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Chevy's 2016 Camaro SS is a fantastic piece of automotive engineering. It is also, apparently, very, very fast. This latter fact was perfectly illustrated when, on April 8, a Camaro SS driver was nailed in Two Harbors, Minnesota for doing 171 mph. According to WFAA, the unnamed speed demon was flying down Highway 61 near Two Harbors when Hermantown, MN Deputy Police Chief Shawn Padden clocked him at an eye-watering 171 mph. He then recorded the speeder at 168 and 141. At the time, Deputy Chief Padden was working with Minnesota State Patrol on an anti-DWI program called "Toward Zero Deaths". Padden, who was interviewed by the Duluth News Tribune, said he was surprised at the driver's sheer speed. "When he went by me, it was a blur," Padden told the News. "You get used to seeing people going 65 or 70 and what that looks like. But I've never seen anything like this. It's like a rocket on wheels." Fadden chased the Camaro down eventually, but it took some doing. To catch the Camaro, he pushed his Dodge Charger Pursuit to 135 mph just to get into range so the Camaro could see his emergency lights. The speeding driver was ticketed for careless driving, but may lose his license due to a Minnesota law that gives courts the option of revoking licenses for drivers caught doing more than 100 mph.

2016 Chevy SS gets new face, clears throat

Wed, Sep 16 2015

Chevy is tweaking the SS once again for the 2016 model year. While the changes might be minor, muscle sedan enthusiasts shouldn't need any more excuse to love the Bowtie brand's performance sedan. The 2016 Chevy SS benefits from revised front-end styling that incorporates new vertical ducts designed to direct airflow over the front wheel wells. It also gets new LED lighting and new functional hood vents to make it look even more aggressive than the current model. Although the 6.2-liter V8 carries over unchanged from the existing version – churning out 415 horsepower and an equal amount of torque – a new dual-mode exhaust promises to be both quieter at lower speeds and angrier-sounding at higher revs. And of course you can still get it with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. In any event, it should also look the business with its new 19-inch alloys as well. Related Video: 2016 Chevrolet SS Designed for Performance DETROIT – Building on the performance-oriented updates made to the Chevrolet SS last year, the 2016 model features several exterior enhancements that reinforce its presence on the road. A revised front fascia features new, vertical ducts at the outer edges to direct airflow over the front wheel openings to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The fascia also incorporates new LED signature lighting, while new, functional hood vents and new-design 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels contribute to a stronger appearance for the rear-drive sports sedan. "The 2016 SS design changes more fully express the true driving character of the sedan while further enhancing the car's overall performance," said Todd Christensen, Chevrolet Performance Car marketing manager. What hasn't changed is the SS's unique blend of performance, comfort and spaciousness. It features a 6.2L V-8 engine under the hood and turns out an SAE-certified 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb-ft of torque (563 Nm), and offers a six-speed manual transmission or a paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmission. A new, dual-mode exhaust system for 2016 complements the V-8 engine with quieter performance at low engine speeds and a more muscular engine note at wide-open throttle.
