1966 Chevrolet C-10 Short-box Fleetside Pickup Truck Alabama Truck · Small Block Chevy 350 engine/Vortec heads · Edelbrock aluminum intake · Holley carburetor · 4-speed manual transmission w Hurst “Indy” shift lever Dual exhaust w/headers and mufflers Brand new 255/60/R15 wide raised white letter B.F. Goodrich tires on 6-lug wide GM rally rims I want to represent this truck as accurately as possible so that any potential buyers get all questions answered so that there are no surprises. I purchased this truck last fall in Alabama, and brought it back to Upstate New York to drive and enjoy. The underneath of this pickup and the truck frame is representative of a nice southern truck, and is extremely solid, and absolutely rust free! This is a great running, hard to find short box truck that drives down the road nice and straight, and shifts smoothly. This truck still has the original drum style brakes, however the suspension has been lowered with a set of brand new “dropped” coil springs, so it has a nice stance and sits level. All of the gauges except for the tachometer, work well and are fully functional. The engine has great oil pressure, the alternator charges well, and the engine temp stays at a cool 150 degrees. The steering box is original, and seems to be nice and tight, and also works very well. None of the glass in this truck is fogged, discolored or cracked. Currently, the headlights have been temporarily wired for functionality. The front and rear turn signals are not currently operable/functional, neither is the horn, or the wipers. The truck has very bright l.e.d. brake lights, however they are the incorrect for the period of the truck, and are actually trailer-style lights that just happen to fit (with the help of some silicone from the previous owner). The rocker panels and cab corners have had a couple of crudely-done repairs, also from a previous owner. The bed floor has had 2 pieces of steel placed over the top of the original wood. The door handles have been shaved, and a door release cable has been installed, but needs to be adjusted. The tachometer is in the dash, but not currently connected/operable. The grille has been spray painted white, but could stand to be sandblasted or could be replaced with a new chrome grille. The headlight trim rings are also missing that mount over the lights as part of the grille/trim. The paint-job, done before I acquired the truck, is a pearl orange with a clear coat and does have some shine to it, however much of the body work that was completed prior to painting is very poor, which brings this pickup to its present condition. As a result of this paint-job, there is also overspray on some of the window chrome, and much of the window rubber. With some replacement sheet metal and paintwork, this truck could be very presentable. If left as is, it also could make someone a reliable driver. To make this into a really presentable truck, it really should have both doors and both fenders replaced. The hood hinges need to be adjusted or possibly replaced. Also, the driver’s side of the hood has been very poorly repaired (please see all photos). Since acquiring the truck, I have upgraded or replaced a few parts, below is a detailed list. Here is what I have replaced with brand new (unless specified) parts since the fall of 2010: · Rear coil springs (5” drop)/mounts/hardware · Front coil springs (3” drop) · Rear chrome bumper and mounting brackets · Chrome Chevrolet/GM bowtie wheel centers · Molded carpet · Two-color seat covers w/headrest covers · Halogen headlights · B. F. Goodrich raised white letter tires · Shifter boot · Shifter knob (period correct) · Door sill plates · Fender emblems · Interior light · Front marker light lenses · Rubber brake and rubber clutch pedal covers · Gauges panel (a new plastic one was fabricated and painted black) · Fan belt · Spark plugs · Battery (last fall) · Tailgate graphics/lettering · Glove box insert · Used tailgate · Sanded/primed/painted wheels · Used (period correct) GM steering wheel/horn button · Used correct GM chrome rear view mirror · Used polished gas cap Payment by Paypal only.
