1986 Chevy C30 1 ton truck, standard cab, 4 speed transmission, runs and drives great. It does have some issues. I will try and list them all. There is a lot of rust, floor boards mainly, the frame is very rusty, the windshield is cracked on the passenger side, the dash is badly cracked, the seat bottom is in bad shape. There are probably other things, I will list them as I think of them. There are a lot of good things about the truck too. The engine runs great, very little oil consumption. The transmission works fine with the exception that occasionally it will pop out of third gear if you don't hold it in place. The tires look good, it has a fairly new alternator, fuel pump, possibly water pump, master brake cylinder. I am not absolutely positive about the water pump. The rear brakes were redone not too long ago. The brakes do work great. I just removed the gas tank today and cleaned it and replaced it. I had some bad gas. I do have it reattached but it does need to be done properly. The existing straps and the mounts on the bottom of the tank that mount to the frame were badly rusted and not reusable. The metal bed is in pretty good shape. It does have some rust and a couple of holes. It has metal racks and I believe the rear section of the racks is here. Last time I checked the head lights, tail lights, parking lights, brake lights and marker lights did work. I have not checked them in a while. I did notice that one of the rear marker light lenses is broken on the rear driver side of the truck bed. The truck has dents and doesn't look great but it is dependable. I have had no problems starting it except a loose battery cable. The battery does not go with it. It is from another of my vehicles. I may possibly have one here that will go with it but I will have to make sure that it is good and will work but to be safe, I will say no battery included. Last time I changed oil I used Amsoil, a 100% synthetic oil and I believe an Amsoil filter too. The oil is rated at 25,000 miles with an oil filter change at 12,500. I never let the oil go that long. I usually replace both at about 10,000 miles. I have not put that many miles on it since I have had it. I seldom use this truck. Mainly to haul saw dust or mulch for my own use. Occasionally to haul a few pieces of furniture. I believe the engine is a 350. It is a V8. That's about all I can think of. If you have questions, please ask. The gas mileage is not great and seems to vary. I would estimate from 10 to 12 miles per gallon but will not guarantee that. Probably closer to 10. I do trust the truck and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere if I could afford the gas. If you need to drive it a long distance the decision to chance it will be up to you. The mileage is as listed but I don't know if that is original or not. I would guess that it is not.There is no spare tire, jack or lug wrench. There was none when I bought it. I did buy an old tire that is up and holding air that is I have never tried it so I am not certain. But I will throw it in too.. The wheel could be used with another tire if it does in fact fit. I have tried to be completely honest and list the bad as well as the good. The truck weighs between 6,000 and 7,000 pounds and it would bring about $700.00 across the scale for junk, so I will start the price a little above that. This truck is sold as is.
