1965 C-10 SWB Stepside

1965 C-10. A nice driving, good looking old cruiser. I am selling this truck for my friend who is going through a divorce. He now lives in Florida and I rescued this truck form his old house here in NC before his soon to be ex-wife did something with it. I put some work into the truck to bring it to it's current state. The truck has its fair share of dents, dings and scratches, but all in all its a complete and solid old truck. I have done my best to photograph the truck so study the pictures carefully. The 6cyl and 3 speed manual transmission work perfectly. The truck runs, drives, and stops with no issues. The speedometer does work, but I'm not sure if the other gauges do.

The exterior is satin black with a satin white roof. The paint looks to be a few years old as it has chips and scratches is a few places. The passenger door's catch is missing and the door has a small dent where it has hit the front fender. The bed planks are pressure treated pine boards that have been burned with a propane torch to reverse the grains and then stained. The tailgate has some rust through at the top of it (pictured), but it has been painted and doesnt look like it could spread. Personally I would just drive this truck as is because it looks cool. The floor pans had rust issues, but were repaired by the previous owner and are now solid. The blue dot tailights are brand new with drilled bare steel brackets.

The wheels are original steelies that have been stripped to bare steel with the centers painted white, then clear coated. The tires have a ton of tread left, but are starting to crack from age.

The interior is blue and black with an original blue seat that is in great condition. The radio is a newer aftermarket kenwood with speakers placed throughout the cab and works well. The ignition switch needs to be replaced beucause the return spring inside is broken. It still works, you just have to turn the key back to the left once the engine is running. The glass is all good and the windows roll up and dont with no issues. The doors open and shut perfectly.

The engine has been cleaned and painted and has a new battery and air cleaner.

I have listed this as honestly and completely as possible and I am ready to answer any and all questions you might have as I'm sure I missed something. I am proud of my 100% positive feedback and I strive to continue it so bid with confidence. This truck's reserve is low as my friend is just trying to get his money back from the truck. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction's end and full payment is due within 7 days. If you have negative feedback or less than 10 transactions please contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Please do not contact me with any trade offers.

The 1965 Texas License plate does not come with the truck. I installed it to illustrate placement of the plate.

On May-03-14 at 19:13:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have the title in my hand. It is a clean, clear and open North Carolina title.

I was asked about the floors, cab corners and cab mounts. The floors and cab corners had rust issues in the past, but have been repaired. You cant even tell the cab corners have been repaired unless you crawl underneath. The cab mounts have rust, but they are still fully functional.

I was able to talk my buddy into lowering the reserve. (I really want my driveway space back) The reserve has been lowered drastically!!! Bid to win.

This truck is a great deal for a running and driving '65 c-10.

Once again if you have any questions please shoot them my way.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
