Vehicle Description
With its great looks, strong drivetrain and a number of well-chosen
convenience features added, this 1966 Chevrolet C10 will not only
turn heads on the street or at local car shows, but would also make
a fine daily driver for those who really like the idea of being
behind the wheel of a vintage truck as often as possible, but enjoy
driving in comfort as well.
Representing the very last year of Chevy's first generation of the
line, this C10 remains in stock configuration, save for its custom
wheels, and is one vital and sturdy-looking pickup. You might
notice that its red paint is just a tad deeper than what you're
accustomed to seeing and we think it's a great choice for this
classic - with its wet, glossy look, it highlights all that
curvature on display with the C10. Step closer and take a look from
the front and you can see right off just how clean and smooth the
front bumper and chrome grille are, and you'll notice that some of
the details often glossed over - headlight and marker lenses,
rubber seals and housings being among them - have been taken care
of, as well. From the way that stout hood sits above the fenders,
and how those fenders meet up with the doors before transitioning
into the bed in back, you can also clearly see that everything is
well-aligned, an observation reinforced by the reassuring "thud"
the doors make when they're closed.
The interior is really nicely done - definitely an environment you
could see yourself spending some time in. The bench seat features a
tuck and roll pattern and it, like the matching door panels on its
sides, has a great, slightly distressed look. A contrasting console
with a pair of cupholders sits at its center for added storage
space and to provide a convenient place to rest your elbow. When
you slide into the driver's seat and cast your gaze forward, it's
easy to appreciate the way some modern features have been added
that blend in so well with their surroundings. The custom, billet
steering wheel sits on a tilt column that matches the tan of the
seating, and just beyond, a fresh set of gauges looks completely at
home in the instrument cluster behind the crystal clear lens. An
aftermarket A/C system has been added to keep you and your
occupants comfortable - its installation another example of great
work, as it's controlled by the stock switches on the dash and
exhales through a set of seamlessly installed chrome registers. The
bed area in back features a matching red liner that's obviously
performed its protective duties well, as there are no noticeable
scuffs, even on the wheelhouses.
Underneath that stout hood sits a 350-cubic inch V8 that's in good
form - equipped with an Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carb, it
starts up promptly, idles smoothly and runs with plenty of power.
It's paired with a 4-speed 700r4 transmission that provides a lot
more functionality than its original counterpart, as it's armed
with a nice low gear for good acceleration and overdrive to keep
RPMs down on the highway. With power disc brakes up front and
smooth power steering, this is an easy driver - more than up to the
task of taking on everyday driving conditions with aplomb. This
classic pickup sits with a slightly lowered and level stance on a
set of 18" Coy wheels, wrapped with Kumho radials.
