64 Chevy truck with a 2 speed auto box, and V8 350 Shortblock. <br />
<br />
Its Motd until around June and is tax exempt. I bought her earlier this year with dreams of rolling in a truck each day, but to be honest Ive done about 20 miles since Ive owned it due to no where to park in Brighton, or at my work. <br />
My dreams have died for the time being.<br />
<br />
I love the truck, and its got a really cool clearcoated patina and original (with a few holes) bed - with some US plates on it to cover the holes. <br />
<br />
It needs a bit of work to make it uber perfect, like the vacuum choke is not connected properly so it can take a few turns to get her started - however it does star, and does run perfectly. <br />
<br />
It had a new distributor, alternator etc before I owned it and it comes from dry state California - underneath is totally rust free.<br />
<br />
I recently took it to a garage as I was having some issues with the wiring to the rear lights. The mechanic fixed them, and told me "ideally you need a new fuse box, or to get a second hand one" - the lights have since gone out again at the back, but anyone will tell you there is only about 8 wires on these trucks so electrics are simple.<br />
<br />
I have no time, no space for her - and Im moving soon to another area of Brighton which will have no parking at all - so Im down to my motorcycle ony. <br />
<br />
Its got a great green patina, and the interior is pretty cool as it was done by the previous owner. I have put some shop stickers on the door (not finished) but they peel right off. <br />
<br />
The wheels and tyres are very rare, and in great condition. <br />
<br />
Insurance for me is 150 fully comp for the year, and no tax. <br />
<br />
<br />
I paid 8000 for this about 5 months ago, and id be looking to get 7000 for the truck. I may take a motorcycle in PX + cash my way, but as I work in the motorcycle trade, it would have to be a bit special to consider. <br />
<br />
The C10 is the 3/4 ton C20 edition and is rare to find. Every one stares and comments - and she runs sweet.<br />
<br />
Faults I know of:<br />
<br />
Rear light wiring<br />
No handbrake - was converted from manual before I had it, and they never put a handbrake in!! Either you need a nice MOT tester (It sits in park fine) or Im advised you need a "landrover" style handbrake - I dont know what that is to be honest, but im told its functional on off as opposed to graded like a car one.<br />
The auto box cooler is leaking - I have a perfect working one to replace it. Simple job, just not been under the truck in the cold<br />
<br />
No horn - its in the truck but not wired up (I have a new one for this too. To be honest - rev the engine<br />
No windscreen washers - also on the car but no bottle. I have a bag kit for this but not fitted. <br />
Choke needs fixing - still starts but is a pain when cold<br />
<br />
Filler neck for fuel has a plastic pipe in it from the cap down the neck. Without this, when you fill up with fuel it will leak from the rubber seal at the top. It needs a new seal really, but I fixed pipe in it for temp measure.<br />
<br />
Im an honest guy, and this is a really honest truck.<br />
<br />
Any questions please ask - based in Brighton <br />
<br />
May PX for an AstroVan, or Buell etc try me<br />
