- Seamless, smooth 3 speed shifting on the column with no slop. Newer clutch. No issues.
- Complete brake service. No issues. First year for the front discs (original tailgate Disc Brake decal still in place).
- Geared for the freeway, truck glides down the freeway straight and true with no wander, or effort @ 70mph.
- Everything works. All running/marker lights, high and low beams, parking lights, cargo and dome lights, turn and brake signals, blinkers, license panel light, heater, horn, radio, wipers, window rollers/regulators, wing windows, etc.
- Outstanding original interior/cab. Original un-cracked steering wheel. Super solid original floors with original floor mat. Seat recovered in hounds tooth (blemish/burn marks from sun reflection off side view mirror, LMC should really produce better quality!).
- Equally outstanding exterior. 100% original paint, ...whats left of it! No body fill. Laser straight body, cab, fenders, rockers, doors, bed, tailgate and both bumpers. Truly amazing patina (unlike many 'patina' trucks on ebay these days that are really just junk that was pulled out of a field after 40 years and receivedjust enough attention to get them barely running enough to pose them on here as 'drivers').
- Handful of superficial rust spots (all documented in photos below). Nothing structural or worthy of repair. Outstanding frame, longitudinals, cab mounts, fenders, rockers, window frames, gutters etc.
Custom ipod/mp3 sound system (speakers, amplifier and phone jack cord) housed under seat with on/off switch on driver side seat rail/frame. Great sound, completely hidden, and no cutting into the cab like traditional in dash/door systems require.
This is just an outstanding CA native C10. Always THE crowd favorite at events.
