Vehicle Description
A nice clean look, sensible upgrades, and plenty of horsepower make
this 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup a sure-fire winner. The engine is a
427 cubic inch Chevy V8, it's the desirable regular cab/short bed
configuration, and everybody loves a black truck.
Repainted not too long ago, this one's holding up quite nicely. Not
perfect, not a trailer queen, but a shiny silver truck that looks
sleek on the road and shows well at the local cruise night. The
late '60s Chevys are red hot right now, and we don't seem to be
able to keep them in stock, making this silver short bed hauler a
great opportunity. Panel fit and the finish quality are very good
overall, with only a few signs of use which are to be expected on a
truck that's going to get driven a lot. It hasn't been modified
beyond shaving the emblems and it wasn't treated to garish stripes
or other add-ons, letting the squared-off Chevy sheetmetal simply
look its best, just the way the GM designers intended. The
cowl-induction hood shows '427' emblems as a warning and it looks
right on the aggressive pickup. A few chrome bits sparkle against
the sleek silver paint, with good bumpers, shiny stainless window
surrounds, and a cool red Bowtie emblem on the nose. Big, bold
letters on the tailgate are a traditional pickup look and the bed
itself has a spray-in bedliner that's tough enough to use as
intended and the sheetmetal underneath isn't so perfect that you'll
worry about it.
The interior is attractive and handsomely tailored and dressed in
simple black. A 2-spoke steering wheel, perhaps borrowed from a
late-model Chevy truck, adds a custom look to the interior, but for
the most part it remains pretty stock. New carpets, door panels
that match the seat covers, and a new dash pad help it feel clean
and fresh, not used. The original gauges are surrounded by bright
brushed aluminum bezels that are in great condition and the gauges
themselves have clear markings and only minor signs of age.
Upgrades include a tach strapped to the steering column and a
modern digital AM/FM stereo head unit that looks pretty authentic.
Overall, this is probably a great place to spend some time and it's
still functional enough to double as a truck on weekends if you
need it.
The engine is a strong-running 427 cubic inch mill that might be
the truck's original engine (yes, they were putting 427s in trucks
in 1967). The numbers decode to a 335 horsepower version but it's
been upgraded since then, including a big Holley 4-barrel
carburetor on an Edelbrock intake manifold, MSD ignition system,
and long-tube headers feeding a dual exhaust with Flowmaster
mufflers and cut-outs. It's orderly under the hood, with new hoses,
belts, and wiring, plus a fresh dual master cylinder for the power
brakes. Underneath, there's a TH400 3-speed automatic and a 12-bolt
rear end, both heavy-duty enough to make this truck unafraid of the
big jobs. It still sits on its original suspension, including coil
springs in back that ride rather well. Trick American Racing wheels
with spinners and 22-inch performance radials complete the
look.
A nicely sorted truck with V8 power, a great look, and plenty of
functionality to make it a favorite regardless of what you're
doing. Call today!
