My wife purchased this truck in the early 1990's with the intention of driving it and restoring it back to the original factory condition.
This truck is a standard model cab, 3 speed Manual Column Shift with a heater. It also has the factory correct/original am radio not hooked up. To our knowledge, my wife is the 3rd owner and our belief is it has always been a California truck (current registration is South Dakota but it has never been there).
THE NOT SO GOOD......
It has rust in all the usual places; a little worse on the right upper rocker panel and right lower door area (nothing that can't be repaired). NO RUST goes through completely to the exterior. No salt used on the roads in Southern California where this truck has been.
: - ) NOW FOR THE GOOD PART : - )
We started to plan for a restoration because all the original parts were (and still are) on this truck except the hubcaps. It runs good; clutch and pressure plate have less than a 1000 (one thousand) miles on it and a new battery, cables and regulator were installed this month. Oil changed in engine and air filter as well as fresh valve adjustment. Spare tire and wheel included (although no hanging mechanism which can easily be obtained).
When we bought this truck, the speedometer / odometer did not work so we had no idea what the actual mileage was. About 15 years ago we had the speedometer / odometer repaired and the mileage is currently at about 1700 miles. Yes! That's not a typo.... we only put about 1700 miles on this truck in the past 15 years!
New Restoration parts included:
New carpet and reupholstered original equipment seat installed
Interior Mirror and New glove box installed
All the following items listed are new in the box (these parts were going to be installed during the restoration):
Front and Rear Window Rubber
Driver and Passenger side Felt lined window channels
Wind wing rubber kit
New tail lamp lens and gaskets
Extra rear view mirror
The previous owner moved the signal light switch out of the column and hung it under the dash (it works). We hung after market gauges under the dash (easily removed) and original idiot lights are still operational. It also has an aftermarket am/fm cassette player attached under the dash but not permanently mounted to eliminate any modifications / holes in the original dash (easily removed). This truck runs and drives as it should but if the buyer chooses, this will make a great winter restoration project. If you follow ebay, two weeks ago a restored 1965 Chevrolet Step side short bed sold for $21,600.
This truck comes with an original era shop manual (not the small Haynes or Chilton's type), new points, condenser and u-joints in a box. It also comes with an excellent condition locking Delta Aluminum Diamond Plate tool box (clamped, not drilled, to the bed) $300 item.
To make it clear, this truck is a turn key, fully operational non restored running truck with about $2000.00 worth of fresh parts ready for your restoration..... or a daily driver as it sits!
This truck comes with a fully transferrable Clear, South Dakota Title so ownership can be transferred to your state.
Vehicle is being offered with a fair reserve and is available for inspection approximately 45 minutes north of San Diego, CA.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting
Mon, Aug 20 2018With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
