Description for Chevrolet C-10 1976

1976 chevy c10, short bed. 2wd, itle and vin show it as being a gmc, o some past owner has changed all the emblems. This is a factory big block 454 truck as shown on the glove box sticker and verified by the vin number. It is not the original engine but it is a period correct 454. It is from anouther mid 70s pick up. Some areas are stamped as a 76 and some as 78. I do not know if the turbo 400 is original to the truck or not. 12 bolt rear end. I do not know the gear ratio and I do not believe it is a posi. Other than the new hedman headers and glass pack exhaust the engine is stock. (sounds awesome) It is a factory 4 barrell and hei ignition engine. The engine bay is very clean. The body has no major dents or rust. The only sign of rust i see is under the battery tray. It looks like it was cut out when the new fenders were installed. Several small dings in various places and a very poor single stage paint job. It has some runs and orange peel that may be color sanded and polished out. However I feel the truck deserves to be stripped, locked and base cleared to take it to the next level. Most of the original trim came with the truck but it is in poor condition. I was planning on filling the holes and smoothing the truck when the rest of the body work was done. It does not have a wood floor in the bed. What you see is just some cedar boards laid in the back. The metal floor is a bit beat up. The tail gate works but it could use a new one. The snap on road box mounted in the back is also date coded 1976. It has all the drawers but no lock. The truck has that semi ratted shop truck look but it is solid and deserves to be restored. The dash pad has some cracks but the rest of the interior is spotless. The carpet needs some installation finish work around the pedals. Has an old school tape deck with speakers behind the seat that will need some updating. It is a factory a/c truck. I have the compressor and some hoses but none of it is installed. Factory cruise set up is there but not hooked up. Has factory 15 x 8 rally wheels painted to match. Tires have about 3000 miles on them. Power brakes with disc in front drum in back and Power steering. I have an aluminum canopy that I will set on it with all the trim and a/c parts in the back. The glove box sticker states it as being HD suspension. It has not been lowered or modified in any way. It is getting hard to find mid 70s short bed factory big block trucks. They seam to be fully restored and priced out of site high or beat to hell. This one is solid but not finished. Perfect for that hobbiest that wants to put his/her personal touches on the final product. Best of all its priced right. It has been a project and i have only driven it around the block. Everything seams to work but I am sure there are going to be some details that will need to be addressed as it is driven more often. I feel I have given full disclosure on its condition and it is being sold as is.
East coasters, know you like our rust free west coast trucks but please, efore bidding make sure you get your shipping quotes in order. I have had people back out of deals because of long distance shipping costs. Yes shipping is the buyers responsibility. I can store the truck for a short period but I live in the burbs and I need the room so please dont leave it for weeks.
Now for the statements I hate to make. Only bid if you are serious. Bidding on ebay listings is a binding agreement. Dead beats, f you get the winning bid and do not pay I will take you to my local small claims court. When you dont show I will win by default.
If I have missed something in my discription and you want to discuss it in person message me. I will send you my number to talk about it in person.
I just pulled this truck from my buy it know listing and its going no reserve.
