1969 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Base 5.7l on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:99999
Location:

Liberty, Missouri, United States

Liberty, Missouri, United States

See pics.  Third generation pickup (father-in-law to brother-in-law to me) has a remanufactured 350 with about 20,000 miles, Edlebrock carb and intake, headers and many newer parts. Finally decided that a full restoration isn't going to happen and ready to get her out of the barn. Newer tires and brakes. Truck has been in the barn for 18 months but starts and runs.  Has a wood bed with a plate steel overlay and all the usual rust.  

Small reserve because I'm not giving her away. I'll accept Paypal or cash (but not a check from your secretary accidentally made out for more than the sale amount) i.e. no scammers.

350 V8, three speed manual, 2 wheel drive. NO air.  Standard dash (no tach).  Clear Missouri title in hand.

The good:  before we placed her in the barn she passed the Missouri inspection each year and was driven on a routine basis.

The bad: been sitting for 18 months.  Runs but should be checked out before being driven too far.

Forgot to tell you this is a long bed and obviously a fleetside.  Here's a list of parts we replaced since aquiring it from the brother-in-law:


Remaufactured 350 (but numbers are correct for 1969)
all front suspension
ball joints
front control rods and bushings
heater core
clutch and throwout bearing
brakes
wheel cylindars
blower motor
Eldebrock 4 barrel carb (650 I think)
Headers (cheap ones - sounds like one bank has rusted out)
dual exhaust
shocks
master brake cylinder
truck floor shifter (was three on the tree)
a Chevy AM/FM cassette radio (not period correct but from the late 70s)

I plan to get out into the barn tomorrow and take a bunch more pics.

 Added a bunch of pictures taken today in the barn. Someone asked me how long ago the cab corners and bed arches were replaced - Joe thinks it was about 25 years ago when he got the truck from grandpa.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
