I'm selling off my Chevy C10 Wrongbed. I've had her for about a year, and I doubt I've driven it a thousand miles. Very solid truck. No huge issues aside from the hideous paint job. Rusting is to be as expected given age of truck and environment driven in. Body doesn't really have any dents. Funny story: A girl climbed on a tree off my truck, fell off, bounced her head off my hood, and didn't even leave a dent! Oh, the girl was fine, but they don't make them like they use to, right?Spark plugs probably need to be changed, as I think I probably fouled them up when I was tinkering with the fuel/air mixture for awhile on the Edelbrock. Windshield needs replacing too. I just never took the time to find a replacement since I wanted to originally replace it with the antenna windshield that came with it for the radio. Instrument cluster works. Fuel gauge is on par for the trucks of this era: accurate until half a tank, and super accurate when it's on E. Don't expect great gas mileage with this truck, I think it averages around 15MPG if you drive it reasonably. I never drove it reasonably, so I got less. Manual SM465 (yep, granny low!). Got enough torque to start in 2nd no problem, and has a LOT of get-up in third. The old V6 was thrown out and replaced by a V8 350. Engine was built by New Covenant Performance out of Mt. Auburn, IL, and is only a couple years old. Engine is stock aside from camshaft. Has Edelbrock RPM Performer intake manifold with Edelbrock Performer carb on it with 1" spacer. Stock heads, long pipes, aftermarket fuel pump, aftermarket radiator, dual electric fans (your hands are safe!), custom dual exhaust system (LOUD). It's an Elgin cam. 230 duration @ .050 .480 lift and a 109 lobe separation angle. You could get as much as 375-400 hp out of that cam with the right heads and intake. Right now it's rated at 320HP/315TQ from the dyno when they ran it. It averaged 320 HP @ 5200 rpm and 315 ft/lbs torque @ 2300 rpm. Oh, and if you're wondering about the truck tire in the bed... that's to keep the liner in place. I never actually took the time to get that thing replaced. I was going to get it rhino-lined. Air-conditioning? That's what windows are for, this thing has a heater only. It works! I drove it through the winter with no problem. I recommend winter tires, though, if the snow gets deep. These are sport tires.Why am I getting rid of it? I've had my fun, and I love the truck. It's so much fun to drive and it's loud and awesome and AMERICUHHHHH! But I want to get a new car finally, and I just need to give this to a better home. Walkaround video (a bit old, but nothing's really changed save for adding mirrors) E-mail is best way to contact me. I work weird hours, so responses may be delayed. Serious inquiries only, yadda yadda... you know the drill.
