1971 Chevrolet 1/2 ton longbed C10 2WD truck from the dry Central CA valley, Bakersfield.
This truck must go because I offically now have too much going on.
January 11 - Preemie twin boys were born 5 weeks early and stayed in the ICU for a week
January 31 - Threw a rod in my 1970 C10 project truck, now need to replace the 350.
February 4 - My father was admitted for issues with his heart, will have open heart surgery next week.
I have absolutely no time to spend on this 1971 C10. I looked long and hard for a clean and all original Cheyenne. If I were to hold onto this truck, it does need a couple of small things. Driver's glass needs to have the track glued on and installed. Glass is good, but is wedged in the track with a piece of fuel line. Original owner was a little creative on the wiring. Instead of using the key, there is now a butterfly switch with a push button start. Lights and turn signals do not work, but speedo, temp, and oil pressure do work. If the truck sits for a few days it does drip 4 or 5 times some automatic transmission fluid. Exhaust is shorter glasspacks, a little on the louder side. Emergency brake cable is not currently connected.
Tires are absolutely brand new. Maybe 500 miles on them. 235/75/15 all the way around, 15x7's in the front with 15x8's in the rear. Original Camaro COPO dogdish center caps. It has the original GM radio, with a CB mount on the dash. CB in the glovebox. Also has the original brake controller under the dash.
Rare truck to find in this condition, from the original owner. I don't need the cash, just have way too much going on. So if this doesn't sell for what I think it's worth, I'll store it until I can complete the '70.
Please call or text me at 925 979.8161 with individual picture requests.
If you need this shipped, please create a move auction on USHIP. Free to sign up, and you'd be surprised how affordable shipping rates are. I had this transported from Bakersfield to Walnut Creek, CA 94596 for $280.
THIS TRUCK IS BEING SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY IMPLIED.
On Feb-10-13 at 16:40:08 PST, seller added the following information:
*2/10 EDIT - it looks like the passenger rocker will need some attention. Not from the inside of the cab, but the bottom of the outside. There are 4 or 5 holes, about the size of a pencil. Also, the previous owner pulled the A/C guts out and plugged it at the line at the box on the firewall.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
