Description of 1971 Chevrolet C-10 1/2 Ton C10 truck

I am re-listing this truck again for the 3rd time because the bidder(s) who clicked the Buy-it-Now offer, ave now backed out. The last guy told me his 7 year old clicked to buy. Please only bid if you are a serious buyer.
This is a rare 4 speed manual truck from the factory. No, ot a small-block truck with a 3 speed automatic, his is the real deal.
EDIT: Last week I upgraded to a new master cylinder and power brake booster. I also replaced both rear axles seals, resh differential fluid, nd brand new rear brake shoes. Truck stops on a dime now.
Longbed Fleetside C10. It came with a short block Chevy 350 motor that I pulled out and replaced with a freshened big block 454. I wanted smooth, rumbly big block power and that is what is in the truck now. 1971 was a very sought after year for this truck because it was the first year C10 truck that came from the factory with front disc brakes.
INTERIOR:
-New door and window seals throughout.
-New front and rear glass seals and trim.
-I gutted the interior and installed dynamat throughout the cab (see pics).

-New back up lens' and gaskets
-New 3 point retractable seat belts. Truck didn't have belts installed when I purchased it, ikes!
-New "Dual Voice Coil" dash speaker with JVC Bluetooth/iPod/USB media player installed in Glovebox that is easily removed if the next owner would like to keep it factory. I am trying to source an original Delco period correct radio to install before the sale happens, f nothing else to complete the dash to factory specs.
-I've installed aftermarket temp and oil pressure gauges because its just a good idea.
EXTERIOR:
This truck is literally rust-free. Its very rare to find one of these iconic 67-72 C-10's without a spot of rust anywhere.

-New headlights

This C10 looks incredible and drives like it did brand new. No strange vibrations, attles or noises. Drives straight down the road, ice and tight, ith plenty of power. I can truly say that it needs nothing to be a daily driver. It starts every day without a problem since I've replaced the original sloppy ignition switch. I've always filled it with premium 91/93 octane fuel.
This 1971 C10 just completed a 1200 mile road trip down through New Mexico, our Corners, lagstaff, oute 66, orth to Las Vegas and then home on I-15 and I-70. This C10 is comfortable as a daily driver around town and just as comfortable at highway speeds. Literally everything on the truck works as it did from the factory, r better.
I've had my fun with the truck just bringing it back to life. Its been a very gratifying build but I must sell as finances have become an issue with my growing family (baby due in a few weeks.) At this point I'm trying to break even and recoup my money, hat doesn't factor in my time spent on the build. The paint job is brand new with quality primer, aint, nd clear coat. Materials alone were several thousand dollars, his truck has close to $10k in paint and body work to make it what it is today. I didn't skimp any step of the way, ts high quality paint and there is a difference!
Odometer reading is 84,xxx miles and climbing. I'm an honest seller and will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for looking. 1967, 968, 969, 970, 972, 20, 20, 100.
I am glad to help coordinate and arrange shipping. $1500 non-refundable deposit due immediately following the end of the auction.
