This is an awesome, strong old truck. I'm the third owner, and I've had it for about 3 years. I've moved across the country, and I can't take the truck with me, which is why I'm selling it.
The details: straight 6 cylinder engine 292 cu. inch (classic chevy workhorse) in good shape. Starts quickly every time. It does use a little bit of oil, but not much. 3-speed column shift manual transmission. Clutch is good. Power steering. Disc brakes. These could probably stand to be serviced. It's a 3/4 ton truck with a full size bed - much bigger than beds on contemporary trucks. Leaf springs are super heavy duty, and I've hauled lots of stuff in this truck. It's got a tow package and electric brakes installed by uhaul, but never used. I installed it because I was thinking about towing a trailer cross country with it, but changed my mind because we had too much stuff to fit in a tow-behind trailer.
I've changed the oil regularly, and kept up with the necessary servicing. It's pretty low maintenance, and hasn't needed much. The original owner bought the truck to carry a camper in. I had the carburetor cleaned and serviced about 2 years ago. At the same time I also replaced the exhaust manifold, which had cracked.
It's been a California truck all its life, so it's got basically no rust. The frame is straight and strong. There are some scrapes and dings, especially the right rear panel (see photo).
Now. The salvage title. The truck was hit last year. I was standing still, making a left turn, and someone swerved into the left front of the truck. The damage didn't seem too major, but because of the age, the other insurance company totaled the truck. I bought it back from them, had the left front quarter panel replaced, and a part of the lower steering linkage. Could have been a tie rod, or other components. Don't totally remember. Anyway. I've been driving it ever since. It could stand a little fine tuning. Only other thing that's cropped up lately is that either the alternator or power steering belt slips, and the bolt that keeps it under tension hasn't been holding.
Otherwise, a great truck. It's pretty stock, so it would be a great restoration project, or street rod. I'm sad to see ol' blue go, but I've already got too many projects on my hands.
I accept paypal. I'm willing to ship, but buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.
Also, the camper shell in the pictures is not included.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
