1970 Chevy C-10 Long Bed Pro Street Back Halved Narrowed Tubbed Big Block 4speed on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:143000
Location:

Lakeville, Massachusetts, United States

Lakeville, Massachusetts, United States

Up for sale is a nearly restored 1970 C-10 Long bed. The truck has already had the frame and bed professionally back halved, narrowed, and tubbed.  It has been dropped three plus inches by using dropped springs and spindles.  No corners cut in the prep work or finish so far.  

The current rear end needs axles and gears, but has been prepped to accept the suspension and narrowed frame. If I didn't use the current rear end, my plan was to custom fit the rear end from a dually for a very unique look.

The motor has been broken in while in my 1969 Corvette (sold) for approximately 45 minutes and runs incredibly strong, and keeps pulling all the way through the RPM range.  The engine specifics are below, as are the specs for the 4 speed Muncie M-21 which has as much break in time as the engine.

All the body work and paint work on the cab has been completed except a dent in the hood which came about after painting.  The body work for the bed is complete and it's currently in primer. My plan was to open up the paint on the cab, paint the bed with a two coats, then final coat the entire truck, then clear the entire truck at the same time.

I did my best to describe the truck. Once the rear end is done, I believe it is only a couple weekends away from being ready to complete the painting and putting a final clear coat. I will include a gallon of the single stage paint already applied to the truck from Summit Racing.  

Sorry for any dust on the truck in the pictures.

Will sell without the motor and transmission as well

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
