Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevy C10 pickup neatly blurs the line between street rod
and pickup truck. Lowered and wearing a well-done bright red paint
job, it grabs your attention and doesn't let up until you've seen
all the cool little details. If you like your hardware beautifully
detailed and your look timeless, this is the truck you should be
driving.
Admit it, you're digging how this truck looks, aren't you? Is it
the bright red paint? Maybe, but only because it makes the rest of
the classic sheetmetal, including the sporty stepside bed do the
talking. With the lowered stance, you can see the graceful curve
that stretches from the nose to the back of the cab, and the canted
front end looks fast, not utilitarian and truck-like. Finish work
is quite good, with even gaps and a smooth surface for the
eyeball-popping paint to cling to. The flared fenders of the
stepside bed always give trucks a high-performance look, but
they're also practical, leaving a bed that's devoid of fender
wells. It's not so perfect that you're afraid to use it as a truck,
and the bed, while wood, isn't refinished so you're afraid to touch
it. That's kind of nice, actually. Other custom tricks include the
big chrome rear bumper, color-matched grille, and small side
mirrors for an old school look.
The handsome gray interior is the ideal complement to the bright
bodywork, and like the exterior, takes very few liberties with the
original design. Even the seat covers and door panels show the
factory-style stitching that gives this truck an upscale feel
inside. The custom details abound here, too, including a late-model
steering wheel and heavy-duty floor mats. For entertainment, an
AM/FM/CD stereo head unit was nestled into the dash, feeding
speakers in the doors, tweeters in the dash, and subwoofers under
the seat. This is a factory A/C truck (the system needs to be
serviced) and it also includes a full array of factory gauges that
are still handsome after all these years. A sliding rear window is
always a welcome addition, and once you experience it you might
decide the A/C is superfluous anyway.
A great-running 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood gives this truck
performance to match its looks. Aluminum heads highlight the list
of performance upgrades, along with an Edelbrock carburetor on a
stock GM intake. The HEI ignition system reliably lights the fires
and dumps the exhaust through a set of long-tube headers and a
custom exhaust system that sounds exactly right for the truck's
personality. The engine bay is neatly detailed with Chevy Orange on
the block, Mickey Thompson finned valve covers, and satin black
inner fenders for the perfect background. The transmission is a
TH400 3-speed automatic, so it's an effortless highway cruiser and
the lowered suspension actually rides quite nicely, thanks to a
custom rear sway bar. And those chrome Cragar wheels look awesome
with fat 255/70/15 Uniroyal radials all around.
If you like the high-profile look, this 1967 Chevy C10 will knock
you out with its perfectly simple combination. Call today!
