Model: Silverado 1500

Mileage: 130000

Color: White

I'm putting my 81 C10 up for sale/trade. The odometer shows 30,000 miles but I do not know if it has rolled over or not. The title is clean and clear in my name. Truck is a 2 owner from Tennessee. I have some cool original paperwork that goes with it- original title, manual, brochure, maintenance schedule etc.

It has DJM tubular upper and lower control arms, DJM drop springs and shocks, DJM spindles up front. The rear has a C-notch in the frame with a flip kit and lowering blocks with drop shocks. It has 22" Coys smoothie wheels (just like Detroit steels except aluminum). Brand new 22" tires, new brake lines, calipers, and rotors and tie-rods in front. It has a original small block chevy and auto trans. Trucks starts every time and runs right on down the road. No speed demon here, just a cruiser. Everything works on this truck except factory A/C, I havent looked into it yet. The heat works great, even the factory radio works as well as the factory clock in the dash, dome light, wipers, head lights etc. Underneath the truck is nearly spotless, floor pans are rock solid. Rockers and cab corners look good.

Truck is not a show truck, but wouldn't take much to make it perfect. There are some small dings here and there. There is a tiny rust spots in the drivers side lower door I will post pictures of. The door panels show some wear, and the seat has a 2" slit in it. The dash has a cover on it so I'm assuming the factory dash has a crack or two. Truck needs an alignment, it wants to pull to the right but I don't trust the grease monkeys at my local tire shop to do it. It has a th350c trans which is an early vacuum controlled lockup transmission. Occasionally it locks up a little early around town, not a big deal, probably needs new vacuum lines. Shifts great with no slippage.

Overall its a nice original survivor truck. I drove it to work a few times and it will cruise nicely down the highway at 70 mph no issues, no vibrations. The front inner fenders have been removed so you can turn the wheels all the way without it rubbing. Of course it doesn't ride like a caddy, you need to watch for potholes and whatnot.

$9500 OR BEST OFFER
Located in South Bend, IN.

may entertain trades, would be interested in nice newer RCSB with 4.8 or 5.3, older RCSB+ cash. Must be 2wd v8 and auto trans.
