71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

Update - SOLD

Ready to sell my baby. Like all these trucks, this one has a story. No apologies here, just explanation.

I bought it 10 years ago from an estate agent in Arizona, so I never met the PO (RIP) to hear the story. He had swapped the original driveline with an 8-bolt 3/4 ton setup. The rear is a 4.10 GM 14-bolt out of an early squarebody with leaf springs (truck was originally coil).

Along the way I have done the following to the truck:
- Gen III LQ4/4L80e (engine had 60k miles on it, came from a wrecked van)
- Boyd's Welding fuel tank in the rear with in-tank pump, filler through the bed (not in the center, I built a box and put it behind the left wheel well) - braided AN fuel and return lines and WIX Corvette filter/regulator.
- Vintage Air Gen IV system
- Squarebody era power steering box (3.5 turn)
- New loaded A-arms and front springs
- Factory posi added to rear (came out of 2010 truck)
- Reupholstered original seat and new foam
- Hydroboost brakes
- Sound deadening in cab
- Aftermarket tach
- Dakota Digital speedo signal converter
- Firestone Transforce tires all around with no dry cracking and plenty of tread left
- Class IV trailer hitch with electric brake sender

I did the LS swap about 5 years ago. Engine is stock,factory harness and ECU (mounted on rear of firewall), rest of harness is original. A local tuner did a tune on the ECU. Trans has a Jasper sticker on it, so at some point it was rebuilt or swapped out. I do not have the history on the engine, it came from Copart.

The body isn't perfect but is overall solid. There are multiple sets of mirror holes in the door, a dent in the left bed side (truck slipped off a lift) and the driver's cab corner is rusted through. Passenger cab corner shows minor bubbling. Rocker panels were replaced by PO, cab floor is solid and POR-15ed. Paint job is a respray done by the PO, and there are areas of touch-up paint that he applied which are discolored.

I have a straight replacement driver's bed side that I haven't gotten around to installing yet, which will come with the truck.

Truck has a tool box in the bed. There is rust through the bedside under the door and a slight crease in the door. There is a appx. 12" diameter dent in the bed floor where it looks like someone dropped something heavy into the bed. Depressed about 2 inches in the center.

Frame is straight and solid, no rot at all. Dash is 99% uncut - PO had a different GM radio in the dash and widened the volume and tuner holes to make it fit, but the washers for the current radio cover the holes.

Truck is quick with the LQ4 - 0-60 in 6.9 and cruises at 70 in the mid-2s on the tach. Starts on the first turn of the key in any weather, runs great on regular unleaded.

Asking $8,000.

Thanks!

My asking price reflects the body condition (admittedly far from perfect) as well as the investment in the LS swap and Vintage Air setup. Those two items alone probably cost me in parts what I'm asking for the truck.

I want to see it go to someone who will continue to care for it and maybe even take it to the next level.

Re: 71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

My apologies to all who have been trying to get in touch with me. Work, family, and a little scare with the truck (overheat, which luckily turned out to just be a hose) have had me busy.

I've taken a deposit from a local buyer on the truck. If it sells I will update this thread.

Sorry again for the delays in replying.

Re: 71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

Here we go again - I sold the truck locally last year, then got it back 6 months later. The young man who bought it was in over his head with the LS swap. It needed a little TLC and now it's time to go back on the market.

What I've done since I got it back:
- New poly motor and trans mounts
- Alternator
- D29 below-eyeline mirrors

I have one thing left to do - I found a radiator leak so I'm going to replace that before I let it go.

A word about my price ($8,000) - it's not a starting point. Think of it as the Carmax price. No haggle, no bs. I have much more invested. I want this truck to go to someone who can handle it and will continue to care for it.

I will be on vacation from 6/30 thru 7/9, so during that time if I don't answer DMs or replies that's why.

I can help arrange shipping within the US - I have a freight broker I've worked with for many years.

Re: 71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

I’m interested in the truck. If someone else says the will buy it I’ll step aside.
Would this truck be dependable enough to drive to Kansas? Do you know what your shipper would charge to ship to Kansas?

Re: 71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

Last weekend I tooik it on a 150 mile round trip 70MPH the whole way on the freeway. Would I project that onto a 1500 mile drive to Kansas? Hard to say. I can say that this LQ4 has been rock solid since I got it. It gets about 15MPG on the highway.

I recently shipped a car to Florida (about 1200 miles) and it cost $1200. I would guess something like $1500 open transport to Kansas (I live near Philadelphia). In my experience it all depends on how close you are to a major interstate and how much of a rush you are in.

I'll DM you my contact info, we can talk more.

If the truck is not sold I would like to take a look. I’m near Atlantic City NJ so we can’t be too far apart. Let me know the status, I don’t want to step on anyones toes. Thanks.

Re: 71 C10 with LQ4/4L80e

Quick note before I leave for vacation - Joesjunk is first in line and we plan to consummate the transaction when I return after 7/11. If that doesn't go through I will be contacting others in the order they posted. Thanks everyone for the interest!
