at MotoeXotica Classic Cars and if you come by, we think you'll
agree. We are proud to present a custom 1966 Chevrolet C10 Stepside
that was a definite labor of love for its original owner. It has
undergone a complete rotisserie restoration. The interior is high
lighted by over 1000 man hours by world renowned saddle maker
Lionel Reed of West Monore LA. The smell of the interior is like a
fine saddle shop and the attention to detail is show quality. This
Texas truck is dressed in show quality Daytona Yellow with white
accents, this truck's paint and trim are in excellent condition and
quite eye-catching. Its windows are clear and intact and the
truck's lights are haze-free and intact. This truck rolls on
Federal radials, size 255/50R17 at all four corners. Each tire is
wrapped around a 17x9 Torq Thrust five-spoke wheel. The tires and
wheels appear new. This truck's bodywork is straight and solid, as
you would expect after such a restoration. The cargo bed is
finished in high-grade oak with stainless steel strips and oak bed
liner, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery appears fresh,
and the truck's bumpers fit well to the body. Powering this unusual
truck is a 327 CID V-8 engine from a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette that
makes 350 horsepower and breathes through new dual exhausts as
stated by the previous owner. The engine features high-performance
heads, Comp Cam roller rockers, an Edelbrock intake manifold, a
Holley double-pumper carburetor, Harrison radiator and Accel
electronic ignition. Backing this motor is a Turbo Hydramatic 400
three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features
include vintage air-conditioning, adjustable oak steering column,
power steering and power brakes with front discs. Underneath, the
truck has a Ford Thunderbird independent rear suspension and
adjustable rear shock absorbers. More than 1,000 hours went into
crafting this hand-tooled interior by world renowned saddle maker
Lionel Reed. Reed paid tribute to the USA and Chevrolet with the
"Heartbeat of America" emblazoned on the inner door panels and
"Like a Rock" engraved behind the seats. In addition, the American
Flag and a Bald Eagle are tooled into the headliner. As with the
finest ring saddles, Reed used Sterling silver on all braided
edges, including the dashboard, gauge surround, door panels, kick
panels, glove box, sun visors, center and overhead consoles. Other
interior details include a full bench seat upholstered like a Rolls
Royce, in Lemon Chiffon Connolly Leather with a fold-down center
console. The brown carpet contrasts beautifully with the seats and
the rest of the interior. The aforementioned headliner is in
fantastic order. The metal yellow instrument panel is highlighted
with the leather craft mentioned above, however the fuel and
battery gauges are inoperable. There is an aftermarket Grant
four-spoke steering wheel facing the driver while the inner door
panels accurately echo the leather craft displayed in the rest of
the interior. The mirror glass is in very good order, as is the
shift lever. Rounding out this one-of-a-kind interior is a
Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with a CD player. This truck's owner, Pastor
Lionel Reed of West Monroe, Louisiana, gained his passion for
saddle making when he was just 12. In 1943, he joined the U.S. Navy
to support and defend his country during World War II. After he was
discharged, he entered the ministry and again pursued his passion
of working with leather. In time, he became a renowned saddle maker
and master leather craftsman who made saddles for a variety of
horsemen, from rodeo starts to political figures. Reed passed away
in November 2016 at the age of 90. Competition to this truck in
1966 included Dodge's D-series pickup truck, Ford's F-series truck
and GMC's 1000-series trucks. This truck is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 89,807 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean
and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Click here
