Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet C20 Custom
There are many questions as to what exactly gives the 3/4 ton
pickup reasons for its badging. One is it simply had a larger
alternator to power up batteries that would inevitably come with
one of those slip in camper backs that abounded in the late 60's
and early '70. Other stories about a recently retired couple that
bought one, slipped a camper into the back, and proceeded to travel
the country. On their first nite out, the wife was cold, and one
thing led to another, leading to the theory that the suspension was
heavier duty!
Classic Auto Mall presents this excellently restored, frame up job,
that has great suspension, a larger alternator, and no slip-on
camper in the back bed. However just a beautiful 3/4 ton 1969
example, that will bring a smile to everyone's face, with or
without camper...
Exterior
Have a gander at this truck and you'll be seeing Red. Yes, that
mile deep paint with glass like finish covers laser straight
restored steel panels with near perfect gaps. If you get tired of
the red, just look towards the rockers, where a band of steel gray
covers this part of the truck. And if you are still at eye catching
divide, scan this truck horizontally and you'll see plenty of trim
to feast your eyes on, and all in excellent condition. Both rows of
which use a black paint inside them to add just a bit more contrast
to the red over gray combo. All badging is wonderfully restored,
and original grille now perfect with nary a squished bug between
its egg crated chromed teeth. The doors sport extra-large rear view
mirrors attached with red tripod supports, and covered in
chrome...just in case you want to add that camper and travel the
country with your wife, testing the suspension. Custom show rims
are wrapped by medium knobbies for when you want to get that
perfect shot and have to get a little mud on the tires. Last but
not least, a new Red Oak factory replacement kit adorns the large
cargo bed.
Interior
As one would expect, an excellently restored cloth insert into
vinyl bolstered bench stretches from pristine door panel to
pristine door panel. Fronting the bench is a perfect red factory
dash with all the original gauges, fronted by an immaculate
steering wheel all original but restored to the nines. You'll find
yourself looking upward to the headliner to be sure your hair is
just right or there is nothing in your teeth...it is that
shiny.
Drivetrain
Speaking of stunning, pop the large hood and feast your eyes on the
perfectly restored 350ci V8 attached to the automatic Turbo 400
transmission, both completely overhauled, although while doing so
nothing out of the ordinary was found.
Undercarriage
Mechanical and structural eye candy, carefully cleaned and painted,
nary a hint of any rust, even a red rear (that is not from the
camper, but I digress!)...and a 35 gallon gas tank.
There are restored trucks then there is this one, that is a true
standout at Classic Auto Mall. Meticulously restored from the frame
up, using only the best sources, and plenty of blood sweat and
tears, we have a virtually showroom truck with a camper badge, and
an interesting story to go with this 2 owner, never hit truck, that
is waiting for the next exit on the road of life...the good
life.
