1985 Chevrolet C-10 Silverado 4x4 Chevy Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:129000
Location:

Up for auction is a 1985 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Pickup minus the motor.  The pickup is equipped with a 4-speed transmission, 4x4, WARN lucking hubs, power steering, power brakes, A/C, CD player, sliding back glass, truck cap, bed liner, trailer hitch, aluminum rims and 33/12.5/15 tires with 1/3 tread left.   I purchased the truck a week ago just for the engine, so now I am selling the rest of the truck.  I suppose for the right money I would sell the truck complete, so I will entertain offers.  I have left the engine in the truck until the end of the auction so the truck will be available for test drives.  I have driven the truck approximately 50 miles with no issues. The gentleman I purchased the truck from said it needs new tie rods; however I did not experience any major issues on the drive home.  Over all the truck is in pretty good condition for its age.   

During my short ownership I have tested the 4-wheel drive which worked as it should.  I have run the 4-speed manual transmission through all of its gears with no major issues.  I tested the brakes, head lights, wipers, heat, radio, fuel gauge, aftermarket water temp gauge, aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and all function properly. The speedometer does not appear to be hooked up; it did not function during my trip home.

The bed is the main rust on the truck. The front fenders, hood, floors, cab corners and rockers all appear to be in good condition.  Doors shut nice as does the tailgate.  The interior is in good shape for a 1985 Chevy pickup. 

The truck is very much a solid candidate for a restore, or a great minor fix and drive as is.

I have the clean Indiana title in the previous owner’s name.  The truck is sold As Is. No warranty implied or otherwise.  A $500 Non Refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction, cash only balance at pick up or full purchase price through pay pal. Must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auctions end.  Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

If you have questions PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDING!!! Thanks for looking.

The truck is located in Casey, IL 62420.

Please contact me before you bid if you have 0 feedback or negative feedback, otherwise I will cancel your bid. Thanks!


On Apr-11-14 at 06:52:13 PDT, seller added the following information:

The radiator, power steering pump with bracket, and manifolds will go with the truck.  I plan to use the alternator with bracket, and the starter.  The truck has a new flowmaster exhaust system that will go with the truck as long as I do not have to lower my reserve to get the truck sold.  If I lower my reserve I will keep the exhaust system and use it on my project.  Thanks, for your interest!

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

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.
