Vehicle Description
We have quite a few awesome early Chevy pickups in our inventory,
but this 1969 GMC C10 is more of a rarity. With a very healthy
stroker motor, upgraded interior, and a unique look, it's the
pickup for the guy who wants to stand out from the crowd.
The period Sea Foam Green paint job sure looks good on the GMC's
working-class sheetmetal. There's nothing to hide, as this has
always been a straight southern truck, and light green paint has
all kinds of possibilities. It can be sporty or utilitarian, and on
this truck, it is perfectly vintage as well. Accented by a Road
Runner mural on the tailgate, this truck takes on a fun,
light-hearted feel that you usually don't find in working-class
hardware. Of course, that isn't factory paint, and the body has
been refinished to standards that probably would have stunned guys
who bought these as working machines, because it's almost too nice
to be a truck anymore. The bed shows no signs of heavy use and the
wooden planks inside are in excellent condition with just a bit of
patina that really works well. Bright chrome bumpers, a sliding
rear window, and that simple GMC grille make this a truck whose
subtlety will win you over.
The interior has been updated, using sloth upholstery in a matching
two-tone green that works well with the exterior finish. Although
it's a few years old, the upholstery remains in very good
condition, making this a truck you could happily drive every day.
Custom door panels have been stitched up using material that's a
match for the seats, giving it a nicely integrated look that feels
OEM. New dark green carpets, fresh paint on the dash, and an array
of aftermarket gauges make this truck easy to love. It also
features ice cold A/C, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and a custom steering
wheel to match the T-handle shifter on the floor. And the shift
light on the steering column should probably tell you a little bit
about the intentions of the guy who built the motor.
The engine is a freshly built (4000 miles) 383 cubic inch small
block stroker motor built by Mike McDaniel. It features a Summit
block, Eagle crank and rods, aluminum heads, and a Mother Thumper
cam that really does hammer away. Wearing, a set of chrome valve
covers, a matching chrome air cleaner, and a big 4-barrel
carburetor, it definitely makes big power, and thanks to the
throaty dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, it sounds like the
muscle truck that it is. A giant aluminum radiator keeps everything
cool and you can see that they went out of their way to detail the
engine bay so you can show it off. The engine is backed by a TH350
3-speed automatic feeding a sturdy 12-bolt rear end full of 3.73
gears on an Auburn posi. Stock suspension components ride well and
are still ready to haul and it has a great stance thanks to big
265/70/15 front and 31x10.5R15 rear radials on Corvette Rally
wheels.
This unusual, handsome, and surprisingly potent pickup is as
practical as it is fun. Call today!
