2nd owner of this great, smooth running, rare short-wide bed 4x4 manual 4spd 1/2 ton. The truck has lived in about a 30 mile radius its entire life. The bed/box is in very good shape, and the motor and running gear all run smooth. There is much rust: The rockers need replaced, there is surface rust on the hood, fenders (also need replaced), and the left-rear quarter needs replaced where the exhaust caused premature rust. There are minor dents all around. The right front fender is damaged as well as the grill shell. The windshield is cracked. All the electrical/wiring is stock/intact and has not been modified or hashed (I did wire in an HEI distributor). The tires are excellent- 90% tread on the rear, and approx 70% tread on the fronts. The rear drums were turned and brakes were replaced in 2012, as well as the master cylinder in 2013. The single muffler exhaust was replaced in 2011 and is solid. The seat is like new and was reupholstered with a nice velour in December 2012. Front and rear bumpers are new-ish. I have some spare parts that I will consider letting go of like inner-fenders, core-support, etc. It's been my daily driver for a couple years now. I'm really sad to see it go, but would like to see someone restore it.

The actual mileage on the odometer at the time of posting was 77643 NOT 73643. So, vehicle mileage was 177643 at the time of posting- I've been driving it some, so it's up a little from there. Also, I've been contacted by two people asking about the left-rear cab support. It is rotted out and causes the cab to sag a little in that corner. It's repairable. I'll post an image of the driver's side underneath. The driver's side rust is much worse than the passenger side, but the passenger side definitely needs a new rocker panel. That's all. Happy bidding :-) On May-03-13 at 06:52:16 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple more things come to mind. My brother pointed out the truck is a K10 (4x4) not a C10. My bad. I was thinking K10 meant Blazer. It is a factory/original 4x4 shortbed 4 speed. The box is in outstanding shape and solid- I think the images provided don't show that. The diamond plate in the bed was bolted in by the original owner only to protect the bed (it never had a fifth wheel hitch). The most the truck ever towed was a fishing boat on a 2" bumper hitch. I replaced the original 2-core radiator with a refurbished 3 core radiator in 2012. The canopy goes with the truck. Good luck everyone. I believe the winner will be very pleased. Today is the day!
