Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet C10 4x4 combines beefy look, serious big block
V8 power, four-on-the-floor, cold A/C, and a ton of investments
all-around for a terrifically restored and upgraded pickup. So if
you're looking for style, versatility, and attitude, this is the
classic pickup for you.
Marina Blue is the bright color that looks especially good on this
restored truck. It has a gloss and shine that shows off an
investment in a quality respray and draws added attention to the
good sheetmetal. We also love this color for its connection to GM's
muscle cars, but while this truck also has big block power, it
delivers its intimidation factor in a different way. The tall
stance with 3-inch body lift, big mud flaps, large tow mirrors, and
long bed prowess give this the kind of prowess that lets it own any
road, trail, or surface those meaty tires touch. And while the
bumpers, trim, and wheels all have a bright and attractive shine,
we bet the real attention grabber are those bold red tow hooks in
front.
The blue theme continues inside as this pickup gives you the right
mix of vintage and new. The restoration removed the glass before
painting, and then reinstalled it with new door seals, glass seals,
and window felts. Pieces like the rubber floor mat and velour cloth
upholstery are new, and the dash and door panels are in great
shape, too. There are nice vintage pieces, like the three-spoke
steering wheel, factory gauges, and the Delco AM radio that's there
for display. And while you may spot the control for factory air
conditioning, it's now blowing cold with modern R134a
refrigerant.
Filling the engine bay is a tidy 454 cubic-inch V8 big block. It
has been rebuilt with mild RV cam, new lifters, valves, seals, and
springs. The consignor states the motor has less than 3k miles
since completed. It has been further enhanced with features like a
Holley 750 four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer aluminum
intake, and long tube headers. This gives your Chevy a pickup more
muscle on the streets and a nice rumble out of the dual exhaust.
You have full control over this big block power and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. And
speaking of the transmission, true 4x4 fans will love that this is
a proper low/granny first. Combined with the New Process two-speed
transfer case, lifted stance, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO tires
to let you really get you out of the muck. But as you look at the
undercarriage photos, you see a fresh presentation that looks like
this one hasn't had a hard day since its restoration. And the power
steering, power brakes, front discs means this one can be easily
enjoyed even if it never leaves the pavement again.
The VIN tells us a truck like this may have been born a C10, but
stout components and terrific upgrades (including the 4x4 and 8-lug
wheels) make this more like a K10 or K20. No matter what the
designation, you already know this restored Chevy falls under only
one real classification: awesome. Call today!!!
