CHECK OUT THE PICTURES OF THE ENGINE AND INTERIOR BEFORE YOU MOVE ON. YOU DON'T FIND SOLID TRUCKS LIKE THIS 1966 Chevy Shortbed Stepside Custom Cab Trim. Not hacked up like so many others. COMPARE and you will agree this is a great, clean original truck. New engine and transmission and interior. California truck with Black plates. NO RESERVE. Let me get your attention first with the details and then follow up with the rest. This is a desirable, stock, very solid California stepside shortbed with Custom Cab trim. Rebuilt 350, 30 over bore, moderate cam, Holley carb, MSD ignition, Chrome alternator and 12 month warranty. Aluminum radiator. New dual exhaust. Rebuilt 3 speed auto trans with warranty. Rebuilt balanced driveshaft with U joints. New brake master and wheel cylinders and shoes. New upholstered stock bench seat with tweed insert. New molded stock carpet. New windshield and seal. New door seals. New bed wood and bed strips. NOS vintage AM/FM Cassette radio and speakers. I am done spending money on this truck and it is being sold. This was to be the nice vintage truck I always wanted with great patina to drive every day. We looked a long time to find one that was not rotted out. I even put my fathers shop logo on the door from when I was a kid in Fullerton California. I wildly underestimated the costs to restore and refit the truck and ran out of funds before I could finish with air conditioning, wide tires and lowering springs. With over $7K into it I am not done yet but need to cash out. It has a vintage patina that took 45 years to create. No intention of ever painting it. I posted a lot of body pictures to show how solid the cab, fender tips and wheel wells are. It is Shortbed Custom cab so it has the extra trim and the full gauges on the dash. All the expensive and hard work has been done. It runs very quick and stops. All the lights, wipers etc work. I replaced the gas sender and had the tank flushed and cleaned and the gas gauge worked. Then it stopped working. It reads when the key is off but swings to zero when the key is on. Strange?? So not working correctly. New windshield and seal and door seals. The wood had issues like so many old trucks so new wood and bed strips were installed. As listed above, we rebuilt most all the running gear. The engine and trans have warranties at a local shop in Temecula California. The interior is comfortable, quiet and has a new car smell. Dual exhaust has a very nice rumble but the tone is not too loud. I found an NOS stereo still in the box from the 70's and it sounds great with new speakers. Break out your Beach Boys and Eagles cassettes. The truck runs great and can be driven anywhere. But it is old so sold as-is please for this kind of money. The warranties transfer over for the engine and trans but is a local shop. So please no regrets or complaints. Do not overbid to secure the win, and then attempt to kick the tires when you get here. I have a 100% feedback for selling fair and leave room for the buyer to drive the truck, work on it, and still make money later. I do not want any issues. The terms are $500 paypal or cash deposit in 24 hours and balance within 3 days by cash or bank check express mail. I can store the truck here for 30 days or more while you get transportation. Just pay on time. We move on to back-up buyers if you miss the terms. Sorry, but the idea is to sell the truck for money and to move on. I will not wait weeks for the funds before moving on to the next high bidder. NO RESERVE. Selling the truck local for $8.5K. Always interested in hearing what the truck is worth to you.On Jul-15-13 at 14:05:14 PDT, seller added the following information: Forgot to add that there are 2 new wiring harnesses under the hood. And yes, clear title in hand. Getting buying interest from overseas. I hate to see our national treasures being sent overseas but with America "on sale" now, our dollar is weak. Sure hope we can keep this black license plate American truck in the U.S. And maybe keep it here in California.On Jul-17-13 at 06:23:28 PDT, seller added the following information: Also, has a new battery and a new chrome high-torque starter.On Jul-19-13 at 09:36:43 PDT, seller added the following information: Trying to keep up with the email and questions. Several questions on the surface paint and patina. Most of this orange surface corrosion is where the paint is thin. As mentioned, I like this and had no intention of painting the truck. New owner will do what they want. I added a few pics of the underside as requested and one of he rear roof lip. You can see where I rubbed the surface on the left side of the lip and the right side is left as it was. This is to show that most of this orange stuff comes off. Takes a long time to answer questions by email. You are welcome to call me. God Bless, Anthony 951 206-3362
