1971 Chevrolet K10 4WD Shortbed Fleetside CA Truck Cummins 4BT Diesel Conversion

1971 Chevrolet C-10 Custom/10 Description

• Up for sale is this 1971 Chevrolet K10 1/2 ton factory 4WDShortbed Fleetside truck. This is an original California black plate truck and I believe this truck spent most of it's life in the Pleasanton, CA area. The odometer shows 38,250 miles but I am unsure of the original mileage and almost certain that the odometer has turned over at least once in it's lifetime. The truck has been painted at one or more points in it's life and has had touch ups and bodywork in areas before as well. There is about a quarter size hole in the left front bottom of the drivers door that can be seen in pictures, and I have seen no other signs of any serious rust. The truck came factory equipped with a 350-V8, power steering,posi-traction rear end, and an TH350 automatic transmission. It has been converted to and retains the following drivetrain: Cummins 4BT turbo diesel engine, factory power steering, Hydroboost power brakes, TH400 transmission, posi-traction rear end. The truck is fairly complete and has had most of the hard conversion sourcing and work done. I was told by the previous owner that the Holset turbo and TH400 transmission were both rebuilt. The truck does run, drive, steer, shift, and brake but could use someone more knowledgeable about this type of conversion than I am, and that isprepared to invest the time and money to finish it. I am leaving it a fairly solid and complete project for the next owner to go in the direction they wish with some of the minor tweaks to finish it. In the pictures the passenger door handle is broken and I will replace it with a working used unit before the auctions end. I will also add new door lock cylinders and ignitionswitch so the buyer will have a pair of matching keys and all items will work with one key as intended from the factory. Most of the electrical items work as they should: wipers, headlights, turn signals, and running lights function. It may need a couple of bulbs for all lights to work. Speedometer is not hooked up and some other gauges may not work as well. All glass is in good condition for it's age. Clear California title, original California black plate, and dealers license plate frame are included with the sale. Overall it's a fairly solid, complete, and hard to find truck in it's factory drivetrain configuration and definitely on a wholeother level with the drivetrain that is currently has. I hope it will go to someone that can bring it to a level it deserves and appreciate it.
