This is an awesome, strong old truck. I'm the third owner, and I've had it for about 3 years. I've moved across the country, and I can't take the truck with me, which is why I'm selling it.
The details: straight 6 cylinder engine 292 cu. inch (classic chevy workhorse) in good shape. Starts quickly every time. It does use a little bit of oil, but not much. 3-speed column shift manual transmission. Clutch is good. Power steering. Disc brakes. These could probably stand to be serviced. It's a 3/4 ton truck with a full size bed - much bigger than beds on contemporary trucks. Leaf springs are super heavy duty, and I've hauled lots of stuff in this truck. It's got a tow package and electric brakes installed by uhaul, but never used. I installed it because I was thinking about towing a trailer cross country with it, but changed my mind because we had too much stuff to fit in a tow-behind trailer.
I've changed the oil regularly, and kept up with the necessary servicing. It's pretty low maintenance, and hasn't needed much. The original owner bought the truck to carry a camper in. I had the carburetor cleaned and serviced about 2 years ago. At the same time I also replaced the exhaust manifold, which had cracked.
It's been a California truck all its life, so it's got basically no rust. The frame is straight and strong. There are some scrapes and dings, especially the right rear panel (see photo).
Now. The salvage title. The truck was hit last year. I was standing still, making a left turn, and someone swerved into the left front of the truck. The damage didn't seem too major, but because of the age, the other insurance company totaled the truck. I bought it back from them, had the left front quarter panel replaced, and a part of the lower steering linkage. Could have been a tie rod, or other components. Don't totally remember. Anyway. I've been driving it ever since. It could stand a little fine tuning. Only other thing that's cropped up lately is that either the alternator or power steering belt slips, and the bolt that keeps it under tension hasn't been holding.
Otherwise, a great truck. It's pretty stock, so it would be a great restoration project, or street rod. I'm sad to see ol' blue go, but I've already got too many projects on my hands.
I accept paypal. I'm willing to ship, but buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.
Also, the camper shell in the pictures is not included.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
