1986 chevy c10. 2wd long bed. I have owned this truck for 3 years. I got this from a guy that has had this truck since 1989. He said a guy bought this truck brand new and wrecked it and bent the frame with 2900 miles on it. He bought a new frame and gave it to this guy to switch the truck over to the new frame. He said that was the first and last time he heard from the guy. I assume he either died or went to gail. He applied for a mechanics lien and had a clean clear title. I bought the truck from him and began to get it runninng again. I did get the truck running and driving. I drove it it for about a year. A friend borrowed it and over heated it and blow a head gasket. I decided to put a new motor in it instead of doing the head gasket. I put a brand new GM goodwrech 350 in it. The motor still has 2 years of warrenty left. It has a new elderbock carb. A new aluminum intake. Long tube headers. True dual exhaust. Basically new everything under the hood. The truck was two tone black and gray with the red pin stipe around it. I painted the truck single stage black. I sanded off the pin stipe. It had cab lights also which i removed and filled in the holes. That is the only body work that has every been done to the truck. The patch job is not great but there is no water that gets in the cab. This truck is not perfect but it is the cleanest unrestored truck i have ever seen. There is some dents and the passenger door has some ripples in it from the original wreck. But this truck is solid and has no body work done at all, except the cab lights. What you see in the pics is for real. I truely believe this truck only had 2900 miles on it when i bought it. I did replace the rear brakes and wheel cylinders. I was going to do the fronts but the pads were like brand new and had GM stamped on them. The tires still have brand new tread. They match the tire size on the options and were made in canada and the truck was made in canada. So i even think the tires are the oringinal tires. The speedo does not work. I have put the gear on 6 times and it always comes off. After the new motor i used this truck as a daily driver for a year. I drove it to work and i know how far it is so i can say this truck truely has less then 10K original miles on it. The items listed on the glove box is what this truck has. I do have the original 305 if needed. I do have the AC stuff if needed. I did pull out the clock on the gauges to put in a new water gauge. I do have them also. This truck will not disapoint. The only rust on the truck is the cab corners. I used this truck daily. I would drive this truck any where. You can drive it home any where if needed. This is not a project. It is ready to be driven now. The only reason i am selling it is because i bought a new truck. If interested please feel free to call or text me. Please do not waste my time buy putting my number on here. 937 605-2438.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
