Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet C10 - Single Cab, Short Box - Blue Patina with White
Top - 454 V8 - Edelbrock Intake (Please note: If you happen to be

Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen some
of our many photographs of the truck due to third-party website
limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 135
photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video,

number-one truck has a great new shape for 1967! �€" Chevrolet 1967
sales brochure The folks at Hagerty summarized the '67 C10's
development and appeal: Building on the successful first series of
C/K pickup, Chevrolet launched a revised version in 1967. Coil
springs remained at all four corners beneath the restyled 1967
Chevy C10, but a crisp, clean pickup appeared on the outside, and
in some opinions the new Chevy looked even more modern than its
half-ton Ford rival, which was also updated that year. Both
Stepside and Fleetside availability carried over from 1966, and
revised grilles continued to represent new model-year calling cards
up through 1972. Offered here is a resto-modded 1967 Chevy C10
pickup in custom white-and patina-ed-blue over black. With 77,706
miles on its odometer, or just 1,438 miles per-year on average,
this lightly used platform was an ideal candidate for some
individualized resto-modding. The truck's exterior paint with its
added patina is at once striking and beguiling. It begs onlookers
to take a closer look. While the body has no rust, the look of the
paint seems to suggest a hard life in the oil fields or out in farm
country. But rubbing a hand across the smooth finish says
otherwise. Indeed, the body panels are all in excellent condition
and what appears to be a worn finish is in fact something of a fun,
visual trick, a wink to the viewer that behind all this patina is
more than meets the eye. There are no dings or dents in the body,
chrome bumpers are in excellent condition, cabin glass is virtually
perfect, and the stock steel wheels with stock hubcaps show no
signs of age. The black-painted short-bed cargo floor shows signs
of use (but no damage) consistent with a work truck's life. Inside
the truck's look is stock with a properly aged vibe: door trim is
stock in black vinyl with fabric inserts, the dashboard retains its
factory appearance and instrumentation with a factory Delco® AM
radio. The automatic-transmission shifter is column-mounted; floors
are covered with simple rubber mats; seat upholstery in basic black
has the factory look. Yet there are indications that the pickup has
benefitted from upgrades: a Grant® sport steering wheel is mounted
and custom gauges for engine-coolant temperature, voltage output,
and oil pressure hint at something special under the hood. Lifting
that hood removes any doubt that this is a work truck in its late
years. The 454 cubic-inch V8's aluminum valve covers, Chevrolet
branded chrome air cleaner, Edelbrock intake manifold,
billet-aluminum componentry all communicates one word: performance.
Or two words: serious performance. This is a dramatically upgraded
powerplant in a well-organized, clean engine bay, all the result of
a professional's touch. Viewed from below, the custom-created,
dual, full-length exhaust system emanating from the engine's
performance exhaust headers and exiting ahead of the rear wheels
adds emphasis to that serious performance statement. While the more
than 135 high-definition photographs and the short
walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors
website showcase this Chevy C10 pickup in detail from every angle,
including from below, we expect and encourage in-person inspections
at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. Please call to arrange an
appointment in advance as our showroom is not open to the public.
