Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet C10 Stepside truly represents the best of
everything vintage. It's a restored pickup that will transport you
half a century back in time with one of the most honest and clean
presentations you'll find anywhere. And the reason why you can find
such a vintage pickup is because has barely spent any time outside
of the original family.
There have been some big investments all around this truck. The
light blue paint sets the tone nicely for a 1960s machine. And the
quality of the respray really takes you back to when this one first
hit the road. You also see good work in the new chrome bumpers,
glossy wood on the bed floor, and overall clean lines of the
sheetmetal. None of this takes away from the classic feeling, and
instead, it just helps turn back the clock. This Chevy is really
all about a vintage kind of cool, right down to the great-looking
wheel setup with color-matched steel wheels, white hubcaps, and
coordinating whitewall tires. The reason for such a classic truck
is because this one has a true family history. It was purchased new
outside of Knoxville by the grandfather. It has remained in
Tennessee through the father, and was restored by the son. It
stayed in the family for over half a century, and only first was
outside its dynasty in 2021. That's the kind of long history that
deserves a song written about this pickup... in fact, the son who
had this restored is a country music artist.
Just like the exterior, the interior has been restored to be clean,
simple, and absolutely vintage. The upgrades are the kinds of
features that you could get on a 1960s C10. It includes the cool
western-style pattern in the door panels and Chevy's iconic
Houndstooth cloth inserts in the seats. And the sliding rear window
is there so that you can make sure to get old-school breezes
through the cab of this old-school pickup. The only real modern
upgrade you're going to spot is out of the way in the headliner.
This has a newer AM/FM/CD stereo setup that includes an aux input
for your iPod. After all, you need proper driving music in a
musician's former pickup.
True classic truck lovers will marvel at this ultra-clean and
ultra-honest engine bay. The 250 cubic-inch inline six is a
year-correct block, and with such a long family history, it's hard
to believe this is anything but original to the truck. So while we
all know that Chevy's big blocks will fit in this ample engine bay,
that's not the point of owning this one. It's simple, correct, and
strong - just like the best pickups once were. You take control of
the motor with the classic action of the column-shifted three-speed
manual transmission, and it gives you that unbeatable vintage easy
cruising feel. It's a smooth runner, and the extremely clean
undercarriage shows you just how thorough the restoration was. And
as you're looking underneath, it also shows off some nice driving
features like the trailing arm rear suspension and the modern tread
disguised as classic whitewalls.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and some original
dealer paperwork. This is a vintage stunner, and so if you love a
true classic truck, you know you can't let this one get away. Call
