caseyctsv Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Up for sale is this 1966 GMC C10. It has a 1978 or 79 Chevy 350 / 3 speed auto drivetrain. It was originally titled and lived it's entire life in California (save the last year or so here in stupid Ohio) so it is really solid with very little rust. The frame is where I was most impressed, having looked at dozens of them with pin holes to softball-sized holes in the frame. The Story - I bought this truck for my then-16 year old daughter against the advice of CR. I was blinded by the opportunity to work on it with my daughter which has been awesome. It is just not practical for a 16 year old girl as a daily. I worry about her all of the time. Truck has been reliable but will not fare as well in an accident as a modern vehicle and I just need to put her into something newer/safer (it also only has lap belts). Not to mention putting gas in it on a minimum wage part time teenager job is breaking her ;-) The good: Runs great Unbelievably solid Upgraded to HEI ignition New 600 CFM Holley carb with electric choke Upgraded to Power brakes (discs in front) Upgraded to Power steering Newer battery and most of the accessories were newer when I bought the vehicle Interior already done Good tires all the way around Gas tank relocated under bed (nice racing fuel cell used) What it needs: My next mod was to rewire the vehicle including a new ignition switch. It does not take a key to start as the ignition is just worn. Thankfully the doors lock. The previous owner added a stereo with an amp and where he tied it into the factory harness is sketchy. If left undriven for 2 days or so, the battery will die. Everything but the reverse lights and gas gauge work but I was going to rewire it to be safe. Obviously, it could also use some bodywork and paint if you wanted to make it really nice or just cruise it as is. This is a nice truck, I get compliments on it wherever we go. Let me know if you have any questions. As a note, if I had somewhere to put it I would just keep it for myself as it would be a very fun project. Asking $5,500 Will add some older pics (looks the same) and will take new ones once the weather clears a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Damn you.... :-) It does have headers and, I think a small cam, so it sounds really nice. I have not pulled it apart but it has a nice lopey idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 No not yet - I have had a couple cancellations due to weather but they continue to contact me. A guy looked at it last night and loved it but was really only looking to spend 3500 or less. He agreed this one was too nice for that budget and wanted to talk to his wife.
