Vehicle Description
Featuring a great color and a powerful, yet dependable big
displacement engine, this 1967 Chevrolet C10 Custom would be a
great score for a performance-minded enthusiast who's also looking
for an eye-catching classic truck to drive on a regular basis.
This pickup came out as a charter member of Chevy's second
generation of C10s and features a decidedly more modern look when
viewed from the front than that of its predecessors - a look that
proved so successful that Chevy would keep it intact with only
fairly minor modifications for years to come. This new breed was
aptly referred to as Chevy's "Action Line" and you can see from
this one that they certainly looked the part. By this time, Chevy
was beginning to find that there was appreciable interest in their
line as not just spartan work trucks, but also as daily drivers and
projects for aftermarket customization, as we see here. Clad in
silver, this pickup cuts a great appearance - it looks
well-aligned, with nicely fitting panels, straight bumpers in front
and back, and no visible dings to be found. The glass is very clear
on all four sides, surrounded by fresh looking rubber seals in
front and back. Speaking of glass . . . that full-sized, tinted
rear windshield you see was actually an option in 1967. Chevy had
gone to a substantially smaller version that came and went this
very year as standard equipment.
You'll find a really nice graphite interior waiting inside. The
split bench seat adds a decidedly modern touch, showing very little
evidence of wear and providing far more comfort than the original,
especially with the fold down armrest sitting at its center. The
dash area behind the chrome tilt column carrying a Grant GT
steering wheel looks impressively fresh, featuring an instrument
cluster bearing easily readable stock gauges. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD
player sits front and center, ready to provide your driving
soundtrack, and you'll find a very clean dashpad sitting just above
that shows no warpage nor any tears across its surface. In back,
the generously-proportioned bed shows no visible dents or dings -
even on the wheelhouses - and is protected by a liner that's
obviously done its job well.
Serving as the rolling reminder of the motto "there's no
replacement for displacement", a massive 454 cubic inch V8 sits in
the engine bay in place of the original 327, paired with a TH350
3-speed automatic transmission. Topped with a 4-barrel Holley, the
engine's in good form, carrying a nice lope to serve as notice of
its cam-amplified power and singing a nice deep note out of its
long tube headers that lead to dual exhausts. A nice byproduct of
Chevy's efforts to offer a more comfortable ride to the masses
comes in the form of the rear suspension. Coil Springs with a
trailing arm, an option when this truck was new, sit in place of
the then much more common leaf springs, providing a much smoother
and quieter ride. Power steering and power brakes are additional
features that make this vintage truck well-suited for frequent
driving. This mid-60's classic has a great, aggressive incline and
sits on a set of American Racing wheels - 15" in front and 17" in
back - outfitted with General Grabber radials.
