Vehicle Description
The quest for a classic '60s truck that's been brought back to top
form while still retaining all of its vintage charm and then some,
yet is still well-optioned enough to make a fine daily driver seems
pretty daunting, but this 1969 Chevrolet C10 CST checks all the
boxes. It's wearing a great looking exterior that exudes serious
curb appeal and features both a super sharp, comfortable interior
and a drivetrain that's been fully restored and is running with
confidence inspiring smoothness.
The two-tone black and white color scheme this '69 now wears not
only provides a suitable vintage look - many of its counterparts
left the assembly line dressed in a similar manner - but it's also
a very strong paint job in its own right, with a deep shine and no
glaring blemishes anywhere in sight. This was a skillful, thorough
restoration. Up front, the arrow straight front grille sits between
the vibrant blue Chevy bowtie on the nose of the hood just above
and a new-looking bumper below. The sturdy foundation of this
classic truck has served it well - after nearly a half century of
service, it shows no signs of sagging or warpage and its body panel
alignment looks strong from all angles - C10s of this era feature
two sets of body trim running their entire length and even a close
inspection will show just how level that trim is as the fenders
transition to the doors and then the bed area.
The interior has a "stock plus" look to it, with a bench seat at
its center that's been recovered in black vinyl sporting
eye-catching houndstooth check cloth accents. It's well padded and
very comfortable and the integrated cup holders in the lower
cushion are a very cool touch! Just in front of the Chevy-badged
steering wheel, the dash area really looks nice, featuring a
cluster full of clear, fresh-looking gauges encircled by bezels
that look like they've recently been replaced. Just above, the dash
pad also looks fairly new and shows no cracks or warpage - a
welcome sight with UV-sensitive black upholstery. If you find
yourself behind the wheel on an unusually hot day, it'll be no
cause for concern - the air conditioning unit features a new
condenser and is blowing strong and cold. The bed area in back
features a sturdy liner that's performed its protective duties
well, so you'll find no signs of damage on its walls or inner wheel
houses - you'd be hard-pressed to detect even a scuff from shifting
cargo.
Raise the contoured hood on this classic and you'll be greeted by
one very well-detailed engine compartment, at the center of which
rests 350 cubic inch V8 which is believed to be its original. It's
been dressed up nicely with a black Edelbrock air cleaner and a
pair of matching valve covers and carries an Edelbrock 4-barrel
carb and intake manifold for some added power, along with a pair of
ceramic coated headers to maximize its exhaust efficiency. An
oversized radiator sits up front to help keep engine temperatures
down in more demanding conditions. The powerplant is running with
all the smoothness you'd want in a frequent driver and teams with
the also-believed-to-be-original TH350 3 speed automatic
transmission that's shifting with precision. Power steering makes
navigating this vintage truck easy, while power brakes that feature
discs up front offer dependable stops as this unusually sharp
representative of the late '60s cruises on its set of 15" stock
Chevy wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra G/T radials.
Looking great and running strong, this 1969 Chevrolet C10 CST
represents a combination of vintage appeal and road-readiness
that's hard to find. Call today!
