Vehicle Description
Roll into the next cruise night with this 1967 Chevrolet C10
pickup, and they might just hand you the big trophy before you even
shut the engine off. Beautifully built to be driven and depended on
regularly, this stylish pickup has all the right ingredients for a
serious street machine, and it doesn't matter if you prefer driving
or showing, it does it all equally well. Strong motor? Check.
Killer looks? Double check. Great options? You betcha. This C-10 is
ready to roll.
Few trucks are as good-looking as Chevy's C10 "Action Line" models
from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. This one, with its lowered and
raked stance and sleek two-tone paint almost looks like the muscle
car of trucks, with a predatory crouch and a ton of eyeball appeal.
Of course, the dazzling Spectramaster Green paint doesn't hurt,
along with the contrasting white paint on the top and bottom, and
professional bodywork to make it all look its best. A lot of prep
went into this truck before the paint went on, with great gaps and
smooth surfaces that show undistorted reflections, a hallmark of
quality workmanship and a big investment of time. It's not a
perfect trailer queen, as there are some imperfections here and
there, but this truck was built to be driven and enjoyed, not put
away for inspection only. The emblems, grille, door handles, and
other add-ons were retained, so its identity remains strong yet it
looks very custom at a glance. All the bright chrome trim survived
the makeover as well, including the stainless side trim that
accentuates the chrome and fender arches, and makes the two-tone
paint possible. The white roof and grille are nods to tradition, as
is the tailgate with big block letters spelling out CHEVROLET six
inches high. The bed is beautifully finished with lightly stained
wood and paint-matched slats, but it's still very durable so this
is a truck that can still do a little work around the house, making
it a great choice if you can have only one toy.
While the exterior says muscle, the interior says comfort. A splint
bench seat borrowed from a modern truck offers lots of support and
a drop-down center armrest anchor a luxurious-looking cab that's a
long way from 1967. Finely tailored and expertly trimmed to modern
OEM standards, the interior is a slam-dunk in the styling
department and with the middle jump seat, practical as well. The
original instrument panel is full of handsome restored gauges with
clear lenses, and the three-spoke steering wheel on the tilt column
would look at home in a Camaro, let alone a C-10. Custom door
panels embossed with Bowties were created to match the upholstery,
so the truck has a very polished, high-quality feel, and it's
fitted with cold A/C that's fully operational thanks to an R134a
refrigerant upgrade. Entertainment is provided via an AM/FM/CD
stereo just above the original location and it includes USB
adapters for your modern devices.
In the horsepower department, this C10 is rocking a 350 V8, and it
comes complete with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and intake up top.
Rebuilt approximately 15k miles ago, there's plenty of dress-up
parts, from the valve covers to the open-element air cleaner, and
the block itself was painted Chevy orange to really pop out from
the black fenders. A set of aftermarket long-tube headers control
heat and have been installed tight up against the block and there's
a big radiator up front to keep it the whole show nice and cool.
The great-running small-block runs great, with endless reserves of
torque on tap at any speed and the custom Flowmaster dual exhaust
system sounds awesome exhaling through a pair of tips tucked under
the rear bumper. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission feeding a stout 12-bolt rear hanging on the heavy-duty
coil spring suspension, and power steering and power front disc
brakes ensure a great driving experience every time out. That
lowered and raked stance is exactly right, hunkered down on those
gorgeous 5-spoke wheels wrapped in Kumho performance radials all
around.
Fast, fun, and stylish, this truck offers an incredible look and
heavy-duty hardware for a very reasonable price. Call today!
