'70 C10 Chevy Step Side Truck:

ENGINE COMPARTMENT:

The engine was kept stock as I wanted it to be practical and dependable for everyday anywhere driving. There is not a peck or tick whatsoever in the engine compartment. Truck starts, idles and runs perfectly.

- Fresh 350 4 bolt main engine w/ 350 turbo automatic tranny…truck runs 80-85mph on the interstate with no problem whatsoever

- Weiand intake

-Coated headers w/ Flowmasters (40 series)

-New plugs/wires/oil change...everything in drive train has been recently serviced and is ready to go

-Trans cooler installed

-3 core radiator upgrade…this truck can idle in the desert for days and not run hot

-16-18mpg on average

 

EXTERIOR:

The sheet metal of this truck is in excellent shape(perfectly straight)….it only has normal wear that adds to the overall character of a patina vehicle. There is a small ding in the crease of the front right fender(see pics/video)…easy to fix if you want to “slick” the truck. All the suspension/steering components of this truck were rebuilt/replaced. 

-Suspension is a 4/6 complete drop kit from Early Classic Enterprise that includes drop spindles, springs, KYB GR2 shocks w/ relocators, super track bar….this kit provides for a killer stance with awesome ride without any shake or vibration at any speed

-5 lug with New 20” Boss 8.5 front & back wheels w/ Michelin tires....this truck was built to drive so I went with the same size wheels and tires so they could be rotated properly.

-Power Steering & Power Disc Brakes up front with New front calipers/rotors/pads/rear drums and shoes

-Note that this truck has the ‘73-’87 front end suspension & brake upgrade

-Front end professionally lined

-New bearing carrier

-Early Classic hidden hitch with adjustable air shocks in the rear for towing/hauling

-Note that this truck has the ‘73-’87 front end suspension & brake upgrade

-Sway bar with new  Moog bushings

-Cab mounts are in excellent shape

-Cab corners/rockers/kick panels /all the notorious places for rust on these trucks are in great shape

-GM Bahama blue base coat/ clear coat…..beautiful color!

-Floor of the bed is showing its age, but again it just adds to the nostalgic appeal of the truck

-I have tons of undercarriage pics that I can text...just let me know

-The doors shut as good as a new Chevy truck

-Note that the Shop Logo is superficial to the clear coat, and with a little lacquer thinner, can be removed in about 5 mins.

 

INTERIOR:

It would be extremely difficult to make the interior of one of these trucks any nicer and maintain the original integrity.

-Cab has been insulated with sound mat/jute

-New floor mat

-Original style AM/FM radio with cd/iPod/mp3 upgrade & new speaker

- All glass and cab seals are in great shape

Overall, this is a beautiful truck that is extremely nice and super clean with a lot of character and personality.  The truck is a shop/patina truck as is, but the sheet metal/body on the truck is in such great shape it is ready to block sand and paint if you want a traditional show truck. There is one small ding in the crease of the front passenger fender(see pic./video) and the front bed petition has a slight bend…these quirks add to the overall appearance of the patina style, but if you want to “slick” the truck, they will need to be addressed. If you like the shop/patina style trucks, this one is super nice.  It was not just thrown and pieced together, and if you see it, you will realize the attention to detail that was taken with this truck.  This truck was built to drive with no excuses, and I have described it to the best of my knowledge. If you have detailed questions about anything with respect to the truck, please do not hesitate to ask.  I understand that it is difficult to buy a truck by looking at pics miles away, but please understand that I have sold through ebay going on 14 years now and have never received a single negative feedback.  I am not trying to hide anything with this truck and encourage anyone interested to come look.  Most vehicles look better in pics than in person.....and trust me, I having driven countless hours with only regret and dissappointment at the end of the venture.... but I promise you will not get that experience with the vehicles/items I sell.  I guarantee the truck looks better in person than in the pics. I am not trying to hide anything on this truck and encourage anyone interested in a C10 to come look. You are more than welcome to send a 3rd party inspector to assess the truck and make sure it is describe accurately.  If need be, I will do my best with assisting with shipping of the truck, but the buyer is responsible for setup and all expenses.  If you have any questions or want other pics, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Serious inquires only!  Payment in cash, wire transfer, or cashier’s check from bank(check will need to be verified before truck is released). Clean/Clear title in my name with matching numbers on the original door tag and glove box….. Email, call 606-598-9953 evenings after 5pm, or the best way to reach me is via text at 606-813-2045 ANYTIME.  If interested, don't be afraid to make an offer.....all I can say is "NO"...Please check out my '66 C10 Step Side truck listed in another auction......I also have a sweet '71 C10 Cheyenne Super that is a cool driver as is or is perfect for a winter project restore...if interested, let me know....Thanks!

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
