Vehicle Detail

This is my daily driver I had a brand new Crate 350 Chevy Vortec engine installed, currently has less than 500 miles on it! (comes with the factory warranty) Also has a 700r4 Transmission with shift kit that was rebuilt before I purchased the truck, Has a Camaro front suspension clip and rear end. Power steering and power brakes. I bought truck with suspension done, appears to have all new front end bushings, ball joints, new wheel bearings etc. Brakes are new. Tires have low mileage on them. Gas tank and sending unit is new, Headlamp assy, signal lights are new. Most of the hardware (nuts and bolts) Door rubbers have been replaced before I purchased the truck. Cab corners appear to have been replaced, other than that this truck is really solid underneath. No signs of rust on the floorboards or bottom of doors or usual places. Truck was painted before I purchased it and paint looks good outside of a couple of minor chips and flaws, I would say better than a 5 footer. There is a small spot under the gas cap that was caused by gas dripping when the previous owner got gas on the fresh paint, simple repair, paint appears to be solid everywhere else. I purchased and installed a couple of months ago: New door latchesNew door striker platesDrivers side door latch releaseNew inside door handlesNew door lock key cylinder New anti rattle window feltsNew chrome original style side view mirrorsNew outside sun visorNew chrome headlamp bezelsNew hood hinge springsNew front chrome high quality bumperNew chrome choke cable and throttle cablesNew cigarette lighter (never used) This truck drives down the road as it should, has plenty of power and drives smooth and easy, runs 75 mph at about 2000 rpm. Lights, signals, wipers, gas guage, speedometer, oil pressure guage and temperature guage work as they should, oil guage holds at 60lbs, temperature never goes over 180 deg. a more accurate temperature guage was added under the dash. Glass appears to be original and is in good shape with the exception of a 2 inch wiper mark at the bottom left hand corner of the windshield just above the registration sticker.This is common. This is a fun truck to drive, feels more like a late model pick up. I drive this truck everywhere. I Run it about 60 miles a day to and from work. Due to the age of this truck truck is being sold as is where as with the exception of the motor which comes with a factory warranty. Last 3 photo's (yellow wires) and New chrome valve covers are of new motor. Feel free to ask any questions before bidding, If you would like additional photos I can take them and email them to you. I will send you all of the invoices if you win the auction and request them. Please serious bidders and inquiries only. Please bid with the intention of buying I'm sure your time is just as valuable as mine. Thanks for looking at my auction. I reserve the right to end this auction early and sell locally. Thanks again & Good luck! Don't want to sell this truck but I just lost the storage for all my collector cars and have to make room for them at my home. On Jul-17-11 at 03:44:35 PDT, seller added the following information: There have been several questions in regards to the mileage and condition which made me realize my description might not be as clear as I thought it was. Mileage on odometer is 3550, true mileage unknown. Most of this truck has been upgraded over time, it appears to be recently within the past year or so and it is a pretty solid truck, however I can not be completely sure of the mileage of the upgrades and only can be accurate in giving the details that were given to me by previous owner and the items that I actually had done. Motor is a new 350 crate motor approx. 500 miles on it,700r transmission was rebuilt by previous owner and had 1000 miles on it when I purchased the truck, shifts smooth, brakes are new, wheel bearings new, gas tank and sending unit new. All hardware bolting the fenders, door panels hood etc....all rubber weatherstrips around the doors were replaced by previous owner and look fresh and in new condition. Front end was inspected by mechanic and most of the bushings and ball joints appear to have been replaced at some point but true age not known. Steering has a little play in it which is normal for its age. Paint is solid but does have some imperfections and flaws. All chrome items I mentioned above were replaced recently by me. Overall this is a nice solid truck It gets thumbs up everywhere I go, it is not perfect and not a show truck. Starts up every time and is a dependable driver. I have over $18,000 in this truck and as you can see my reserve is much lower so my loss is your gain. I can honestly say that most of the items that normally tend to fail on these trucks were replaced at some point. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks, VinnyOn Jul-21-11 at 10:33:58 PDT, seller added the following information: If you have feedback of 5 or less please contact me before bidding on my auction!

Thank you for looking and bidding on my Auto!
