1965 Chevrolet C-10 Custom
Stepside Shortbed
Hello and welcome!Today we offer for your approval a Classic automobile, A 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Custom Stepside, Shortbed Pick Up Truck.
Due to circumstances beyond my control,I am forced to sell my truck.This really breaks my heart and I hate to see her go but sometimes you gotta do what you must in order to survive.
Anyway, about the truck.I bought the truck from a friend back in 2000.He owned it for many years and used it as a fishin truck,he only drove it to the lake on weekends when it was warm.I think I am the third owner. I used the truck as a daily driver to go to work and back,about 30 miles round trip.The tag ran out at the first of September and I parked it in the drive. I crank it daily, it will start on the first turn. I went to take it for a drive at the first of October and when I got to about 30 MPH I noticed a shake in the front drivers side tire,I have never had this before and I am convinced it is something to do with the tire and the fact it has not been driven in a month.Other than that,You can drive it home!
Here I will attempt to describe in full, every detail I can think of about the truck.I will be honest and forthright to the limits of my knowledge. The pictures I have included were taken just after a wash and wax and show the truck at it’s best,You can see the great potential this old girl has to be Awesome. You are buying the truck AS IS no warranty expressed or implied and no returns.The truck is almost 40 years old.I want us both to be satisfied with the sale and want her to go to a good home. If you live locally I will be glad to show you the truck in person,Just email me OR call 295-6258 to get directions and set up an appointment to see truck between the hours of 4 PM And 6:30 PM weekdays and all day weekends, and we will set it up. I work crazy hours and that is when I will be able to show it.
I have went outside with pen and paper and walked around this thing for an hour and taken notes and this is what I have come up with.
The paint is dull and chipped in places with surface rust in different locations.
Rust is present in the usual places for these trucks, Inside Rocker Panels,the lower front corner of the driver door , and the tip behind the passenger side front tire is the only rust through,(see close up photo)The tip can be replaced for around $40. There are minor dings on the vehicle,small place on the Passenger side rear tire well,small ding in the front drivers side Quarter panel on the front side above the headlight to the right as you are facing the truck,parking lot ding on the drivers side door,small amount of paint peeling off inside of drivers door. The bed has surface rust and the original wood has long been replaced with a sheet of plywood. The dash was damaged in an attempted burglary and the dash box is not present.All the glass in the truck is original,this vehicle has the cool looking small rear glass.The drivers side window will roll all the way up but could be tighter.All inside door hardware is original and present.Rearview mirror is original,outside rearview is not original,the mirror heads are 10 months old.The inside dome light works but only needs to be screwed back in place.All switches are original except for wiper switch which was replaced with a toggle.Brand new dimmer switch for headlights as well as brand new headlight lamps.The turnsignals did not work when I got the truck so I replaced them with an aftermarket add on,they work great .
The bench seat is the original,it was covered once with diamond tuck but climbing in and out over the years has left the drivers side seat torn and somewhat haggard looking.The rest has minor splits.(see Photo)The floor has an aftermarket covering that was is cut to fit and looks fine.Heater works great but needs ducts ran to defrost.The radio fits in the hole and that was my only concern when I put it in.AM/FM cassette with speakers ran and mounted under the vents in the side wall.(screw holes only)The gas gauge is the only one hooked up.Speedometer is not hooked up.
The steering wheel is not original,it is a small sport wheel with no horn.
