1969 Chevrolet C10 Longbed
Here we have a great 1969 Chevrolet C10. You can see this is a very straight, solid, original truck that has been well cared for. This truck runs great and handles just like it should. The clutch works well and she shifts through the gears with ease. A matched Canopy covers the barely used full size truck bed with metal floor.
A Little History of the 1967-1972 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup
Building on the successful first series of C/K pickup, Chevrolet launched a revised version in 1967. Coil springs remained at all four corners beneath the restyled 1967 Chevy C10, but a crisp, clean pickup appeared on the outside, and in some opinions the new Chevy looked even more modern than its half-ton Ford rival, which was also updated that year. Both Stepside and Fleetside availability carried over from 1966, and revised grilles continued to represent new model-year calling cards up through 1972.
Today, this generation of Chevrolet C10 and K10 are some of the most loved collector trucks extant, and for good reason. They are drop-dead gorgeous, have timeless styling, possess good build quality, and are easily driveable in modern traffic. Furthermore production numbers were large and they were home to several of the same engines used in popular Chevy cars, meaning maintenance, restoration, and upgrades are all relatively easy endeavors. All years of this generation of Chevy pickup were offered with either a stamped steel box floor or wood planking. When they were new working trucks, the steel floors tended to be more popular, but today a wood bed truck brings a premium in the market.
1969 Chevrolet C10
Looking through the pictures you can see that this 1969 C10 is the Fleetside Long Bed version. It is powered by the 250 cid 6cyl with a 4speed (Granny) floor shift manual transmission. Bench seat in the interior, no power steering or power brakes, and no A/C. There are only about 75,000 miles on the odometer, but unfortunately the Title does not support the claim of “actual mileage”. Possibly due to one very ornery DMV Agent. Paint is in good condition and there are some receipts and documents of repairs and maintenance over the years. Overall this is a very nice “driver quality” truck that runs and drives very well. Very nice looking and turns heads wherever we go.
