THE WIND-UP: Nice old 1963 C10. The original motor and transmission was pulled some time ago and replaced with a 292 and 4 speed out of a 1965 C20. The truck has seen a lot of action and has the usual dings accompanied with daily ranch life. There are no major mechanical problems that I am aware of. The odometer shows 110,000 miles but I wouldn’t attest to the accuracy. The truck had been sitting for a couple of years and was running rough on the old gas when I brought it home. I did clean it up a bit and looked it over. The cab was full of rubber bands and the box was littered with fencing staples. The previous owner was a rural letter carrier in addition to being a cattle rancher. It still runs ruff; the truck does need a full tune-up. The tires are weather checked but it will go down the road and you can drive it onto a trailer. THE PITCH: I purchased this truck from an acquaintance back home, sight unseen. I paid him too much, but what the heck. My original plan was to use the motor/transmission in my 1946 2T Chevy and part-out and junk the rest. When he sent me pictures, I changed my mind. There were a few dents but it would work great for hauling scrap parts to the salvage yard as well as junk to the dump. I could then save my baby (1967 K20) from such duties. Well…in the mean time I found an even better rig for hauling and need the cash to get it. The little beauty is a 1949 Chevy 6100 with dual cylinder hoists and dealer equipped air-brakes! It runs like a dream and is screaming, “Buy me Kevin, buy me!” Now I have more rolling tin than money (and sense), and need to part with this pickup. HELP! THE SWING: My reserve is less than what I have in it (Gas is getting expensive again…). I have cleaned it up and checked it over. I have clear title, air in the tires and gas in the tank. Please help an old fool and buy the truck you always wanted…and make us both happy.

As a small, (miniscule, but well intentioned) bonus,I will throw in a 1963 SHOP MANUAL that I purchased to use myself. It is a $40 value. The orginal owners manual already comes with the truck. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BIDDING! GOOD LUCK! Kevin On May-01-10 at 13:47:14 PDT, seller added the following information: EVERYONE: I have an update on the pickup. I went out this morning (the first day in a week without rain and 50 mph winds) and pulled the plugs. I media-blasted them and re-gapped them. Cleaned the dust out of the distributor and checked the points. Made sure the plug wires fit snug and routed them away from the coil. Run some cleaner through the carb and un-stuck the accelerator pump. The truck idles like a dream and accelerates nicely. It still balks if you get on the gas too hard, but runs 300% better than it did when I brought it home. The down side...under acceleration, the transmission sounds fine. There is a rattle in the bearings when coasting. It shifts fine but you will need to replace some bearings in the transmission if you run it too far. I could not tell you the good news without the not so good. I want you to know everything that I know about the truck. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR INTEREST! Kevin
