1971 Chevrolet 1/2 ton longbed C10 2WD truck from the dry Central CA valley, Bakersfield.

This truck must go because I offically now have too much going on.

January 11 - Preemie twin boys were born 5 weeks early and stayed in the ICU for a week

January 31 - Threw a rod in my 1970 C10 project truck, now need to replace the 350.

February 4 - My father was admitted for issues with his heart, will have open heart surgery next week.

 

I have absolutely no time to spend on this 1971 C10.  I looked long and hard for a clean and all original Cheyenne.  If I were to hold onto this truck, it does need a couple of small things.  Driver's glass needs to have the track glued on and installed.  Glass is good, but is wedged in the track with a piece of fuel line.  Original owner was a little creative on the wiring.  Instead of using the key, there is now a butterfly switch with a push button start.  Lights and turn signals do not work, but speedo, temp, and oil pressure do work.  If the truck sits for a few days it does drip 4 or 5 times some automatic transmission fluid.  Exhaust is shorter glasspacks, a little on the louder side. Emergency brake cable is not currently connected. 

Tires are absolutely brand new.  Maybe 500 miles on them.  235/75/15 all the way around, 15x7's in the front with 15x8's in the rear.  Original Camaro COPO dogdish center caps.  It has the original GM radio, with a CB mount on the dash.  CB in the glovebox.  Also has the original brake controller under the dash.

Rare truck to find in this condition, from the original owner.  I don't need the cash, just have way too much going on.  So if this doesn't sell for what I think it's worth, I'll store it until I can complete the '70.

Please call or text me at 925 979.8161 with individual picture requests.

If you need this shipped, please create a move auction on USHIP.  Free to sign up, and you'd be surprised how affordable shipping rates are.  I had this transported from Bakersfield to Walnut Creek, CA 94596 for $280.

THIS TRUCK IS BEING SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY IMPLIED.

 


On Feb-10-13 at 16:40:08 PST, seller added the following information:

*2/10 EDIT - it looks like the passenger rocker will need some attention.  Not from the inside of the cab, but the bottom of the outside.  There are 4 or 5 holes, about the size of a pencil.  Also, the previous owner pulled the A/C guts out and plugged it at the line at the box on the firewall.


Please email me with specific questions, or specific pictures.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
