We bought this truck while we were aggrivated with our own personal truck while it was getting some upgrades done. We thought we would just kick around in this one and put ours off to the side. Well, ours is finished and we are back to liking it again, so this one has to go.
It is a 1971 Chevrolet C10. It has a small block, not going to say it is a 350 as we have not ran any block numbers, but we think it is. The engine has had a few upgrades. It has a fairly new Edelbrock 600 cfm Performer carburetor, has been converted to HEI ignition, new spark plug wires, newer alternator and of course,, headers. The motor starts, runs and pulls the truck down the road just fine. It does not run hot and holds good oil pressure
The trans is a 3 speed manual that has been converted over to floor shift. Linkage is good and tight, shifts fine. The truck has power steering and manual disc brakes. It steers and stops just as it should.
The body has a few dents and boo boo's here and there, it is 42 years old you know. It needs a windshield, there is a dent in the roof, the right front fender is rusted out underneath the battery tray like they all do. The area above the windshield is not rusted out like so many of them we come across.
Tires are in pretty good shape. They are radials and mounted on rally wheels that are fully dressed with caps and rings. Front bumper has a dent, back bumper is gone and the bed floor is replaced with steel diamond tread. Tailgate functions, doors open and close good. It does have a trailer hitch.. Turn signal switch is bad, i have a new one I will include, just haven't taken the time to replace it.
All in all, this is a good drive while you restore or just drive as it is. It would be a great shop truck or an everyday beater. It isn't fancy, just an old truck that is not as good as some but better than most of it's age we come across.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
