*********UPDATE AS OF 8/18/20**********
I HAVE REDUCED THE PRICE TO SELL THIS TRUCK NOW. I HAVE A SERIOUS LIFE COMMITMENT THAT CAME UP AND THE TRUCK NEEDS TO GO. THIS IS NOT A GIMMICK AND NOT A JOKE. THE TRUCK WAS LISTED AS HIGH AS $20,500 AT ONE TIME AND NOW I AM SELLING IT FOR $14,000. IT'S WORTH WAY MORE THAN THAT. YES, I WILL BE TAKING A LOSS. THE FIRST PERSON TO CONTACT ME WILL HAVE 'RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL' AND I WILL HONOR THAT. THESE DAYS, TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT BUT I BELIEVE IN HONESTY. PICK IT UP THIS WEEKEND IF YOU LIKE (OR MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT SHIPPED).
“1970 Chevrolet C-10 CST” Custom Sport Truck – 1/2 Ton Fleetside
Great Condition
1970 Chevy C-10 Custom Sport Truck.
VIN# CE140F151109 – CLEAN TITLE
EXTERIOR:
The truck has a great color combination with an iconic 1970’s green paint and white top. When I purchased it in 2013 it had no power steering or power brakes. I added both using conversion kits. For the brakes I put disks on all four wheels and added a power brake booster assembly and new master cylinder. New drop spindles were added which lowered the front of the truck approximately 2.75 inches and gives it a great stance. The power steering is Classic Performance Products power steering conversion kit with a 500 series power steering box. This truck drives so straight and smooth you can steer with one finger. Not kidding. Under the hood is a 350 original small-block with a double-barrel Edelbrock carburetor. The 2.5 inch exhaust growls when you step on the gas. When I purchased it in 2013, right after the restoration, the odometer was at 92,732. As of today (08/18/20), it has exactly 95,247 miles. It has newer Firestone Firehawk SS20 tires (255/70/15) with LOTS of tread left and brand new (just installed) 6-lug American Racing black rally wheels.
INTERIOR:
As you may know, the gas tank on these C-10s was originally mounted behind the bench seat, INSIDE the cab…Too dangerous for me. Most of the C-10s I’m seeing online still have the tank mounted in its original location. I removed the tank and put in a new 19-gallon stainless steel fuel tank behind the rear axle, under the back end of the bed. The fill pipe is recessed inside the bed for very easy fueling. In addition to the safety, the really great benefit to relocating the tank is the extra space. I got at least five extra inches of legroom and I'm over 6”3. That equals comfort.
The bench seat has been reupholstered in new, dark-green hounds tooth fabric. The matching original dash has no flaws, scratches or cracks and the new interior door vinyl corresponds very well to keep that 70’s look updated and clean.
The original lap-only seat belts are included and need to be installed. There is a factory perforated circular stamp in the steel on the upper portion of the B-pillar, inside the cab. Punch out the remaining piece to attach newer-style shoulder straps (not included).
ENGINE & TRANS: Powered by a Chevy 350 small-block with a 400 turbo transmission. NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR INSTALLED 6/27/20
All the major work on this truck has already been done.
I WANT THIS TRUCK TO GO TO A GOOD HOME. Family obligations come first and I just don't get to drive it as much as I want to.
It may be difficult to find a truck like this at a better price. If you have the talent to do some quick upgrades, you could flip this truck for more money in a short time. Just putting that out there for the smart, business-minds...
Please feel free to contact with questions, make arrangements to see the truck in person or to buy it now. Thanks for looking!
