1985 Chevrolet C-10 Silverado 4x4 Chevy Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:129000
Location:

Up for auction is a 1985 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Pickup minus the motor.  The pickup is equipped with a 4-speed transmission, 4x4, WARN lucking hubs, power steering, power brakes, A/C, CD player, sliding back glass, truck cap, bed liner, trailer hitch, aluminum rims and 33/12.5/15 tires with 1/3 tread left.   I purchased the truck a week ago just for the engine, so now I am selling the rest of the truck.  I suppose for the right money I would sell the truck complete, so I will entertain offers.  I have left the engine in the truck until the end of the auction so the truck will be available for test drives.  I have driven the truck approximately 50 miles with no issues. The gentleman I purchased the truck from said it needs new tie rods; however I did not experience any major issues on the drive home.  Over all the truck is in pretty good condition for its age.   

During my short ownership I have tested the 4-wheel drive which worked as it should.  I have run the 4-speed manual transmission through all of its gears with no major issues.  I tested the brakes, head lights, wipers, heat, radio, fuel gauge, aftermarket water temp gauge, aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and all function properly. The speedometer does not appear to be hooked up; it did not function during my trip home.

The bed is the main rust on the truck. The front fenders, hood, floors, cab corners and rockers all appear to be in good condition.  Doors shut nice as does the tailgate.  The interior is in good shape for a 1985 Chevy pickup. 

The truck is very much a solid candidate for a restore, or a great minor fix and drive as is.

I have the clean Indiana title in the previous owner’s name.  The truck is sold As Is. No warranty implied or otherwise.  A $500 Non Refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction, cash only balance at pick up or full purchase price through pay pal. Must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auctions end.  Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

If you have questions PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDING!!! Thanks for looking.

The truck is located in Casey, IL 62420.

Please contact me before you bid if you have 0 feedback or negative feedback, otherwise I will cancel your bid. Thanks!


On Apr-11-14 at 06:52:13 PDT, seller added the following information:

The radiator, power steering pump with bracket, and manifolds will go with the truck.  I plan to use the alternator with bracket, and the starter.  The truck has a new flowmaster exhaust system that will go with the truck as long as I do not have to lower my reserve to get the truck sold.  If I lower my reserve I will keep the exhaust system and use it on my project.  Thanks, for your interest!

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

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.
