Vehicle Description
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 is all about being correct, honest, and
bright. So if want to be reminded of a true vintage experience,
read on about this truck's careful eye for classic style.
Seafoam green always looks good on a classic pickup, and this one
has a bright application that's pure nostalgia. This good gloss
also helps to highlight the straightness of the panels. Plus, with
the white on the roof and full-length trim insert, this has a nice
two-tone kind of style. Even the wheels get in on this look with
color-matched steelies and whitewalls. Bright chrome bumpers, a
bright grille, and the Custom line cab corners are reminders that a
workman's pickup still had plenty of style over half a century ago.
We especially like the tone of the wood in the bed. It nicely
contrasts the green so that people really take notice of the real
lumber.
The interior has the right honest truck look from the classic feel
of the steering wheel to the durable rubber floor mat. But as you
get inside, you also notice this is all about the right subtle
upgrades. The bench seat has a classic style that includes a nice
white trim to coordinate with the door panel. But there's an added
a comfy cloth insert for where you sit, and there's a cushiness
that tells you it has been given a nice investment. Other well
integrated upgrades like lap belts and a knob-style AM/FM digital
tuner w/cassette make this a nicer cab without taking away from the
vintage atmosphere.
Under the hood is Chevy's famous inline-six. This 250 cubic-inch
model is part of a long line of OHV motors, and this was one of the
largest displacements of the time. So while we all know there's
plenty of powerful V8s that will easily fit in-between the fender
walls, there's also something quite nice about having a
period-correct block powering this honest pickup. The motor fires
up nicely like a stout truck should, and you take full control with
the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Plus, features
like modern tires and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear
suspension mean you get a vintage ride that's also easy to
enjoy.
This Chevy is a crisp and clean example of pure nostalgia. So if
you want a true vintage pickup, call today!
