Up for sale is a 1968 C10 Shortbed truck that was rebuilt around five years ago and is a great driver. VIN decodes as an original V8 2WD truck out of the Fremont, CA plant. Clean 350 motor (010 casting) has less than 15k miles on it and just had a 200r4 overdrive transmission installed about three months ago by Danny's in Greensboro, NC with a new B&M Mega shifter (have receipt for trans/converter/driveshaft & install for $1,750, has a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty that started when installed in April). Trans was built with aftermarket clutches, converter and TCI lockup kit. Driveshaft was shortened and rebalanced with a new yoke. Trans shifts into overdrive too early for my liking so I use the B&M shifter to manually shift from drive to overdrive. Motor has a new Edelbrock 600 carb with electric choke, Edelbrock aluminum Performer intake, new Chevrolet valve covers, new distributor cap, new rotor, new button, new plugs & plug wires, new starter, new hoses & clamps and a new Cadillac air breather. Truck has new ceramic coated mid-length headers and 2 1/2 exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that dump at the axle. Interior was redone at the the time of the rebuild and has very little wear and tear if any. Front seat was completely reupholstered and new black carpet installed. Has brand new front and rear chrome bumpers, brand new side maker lens, brand new taillight and reverse lens as well. The paint shows well and is in pretty good shape but there is a little body work showing. Mainly where the gas cap was smoothed, spot on the front of the passenger fender, two spots on the hood and a few nicks here and there. Nothing major but wanted to point it out so that a perfect paint job isn't expected. Fuel tank was removed from behind the seat and replaced with an in-bed RDS toolbox conversion tank ($700 bucks from Northern Tool). Nice conversion as it eliminates fuel odors from the cab and it holds 41-gallons, so you're not filling up for long road trips. Truck has power steering, power brakes and with the overdrive it cruises great down the highway at around 2,000 rpm. Truck is currently daily driven at least 30 miles everyday and will continue to be driven till sold. Please keep in mind this is not a show truck but is also not priced as one. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, if anyone wants more pics or if you'd like to come and inspect the truck in person feel free to call me. 336.339.6867 Thanks- Rick Also, below the VIN tag in the door jamb there is an additional tag that says: 5370 404 68 CHEV PU LIGHT DEPT. Not sure if was possibly an original government issued truck or anything but had a guy view the truck last week that asked if I knew the significance and I'm not sure about it....maybe a C10 guru can chime in on some info. Also, had plans of completing an LS / T56 swap but need to focus on other projects. Available to winning bidder if interested, I have a LS1 aluminum block based 383 stroker with ported heads, FAST 92mm intake, Jesel rockers, custom Comp cam, 42lb injectors, etc that made 477rwhp on the dyno. Also have some other swap parts available.
