This truck underwent a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration that was started in Dec 16 and was completed 2 weeks ago. I built this truck to be a daily driven street pounder with high quality parts and materials. I'm selling the truck to help fund my 67 truck that is approaching the 6 figure dollar range in that build. Please watch the entire video, it is part of the item description, I go into much more detail than can be articulated in this add. Truck has 700 test/tune miles on it since completion.

Building a truck like this takes a lot of money, time and skill. I have a lot more money into this truck that it's worth. Take advantage, buy it fresh and done, start driving it in a few days. I have an excellent shipping broker whom I will put you in contact with or work with your shipper. I can help with international shipments, all shipping charges paid by buyer to shipper. I accept bank to bank wire transfer to my US Bank business account only for cash buyers within 3 days. I will work with you on bank financing, $2000 non-refundable deposit required immediately via PayPal friends and family no fee program. I will wait up to 2 weeks for the remainder in loan check from your bank. JJ Best and a few others will do classic car financing. NADA and others high book value ranges from 55-65K so financing this C10 won't be hard if you have decent credit. I have a clean/clear WA state title in hand in my wife's name. Papers and truck only leave my property with cleared payment in full. I'm a licensed vintage auto appraiser, and find no offense in you hiring someone like me to look at this vehicle for you during not after the auction. If you have any questions please ask. I'm selling the truck as you see it, I don't have time for add-ons, I'm 1 year out on shop time, but will assist in guiding you on where to get things you want. Thanks!
