Vehicle Description
It's no secret that we love these handsome Chevy trucks, and this
tastefully restored 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup delivers all the
things we love about the Advanced Series design. With a great color
combination, a very strong 350 small block V8, and a comfortable
A/C interior and you get a truck that's daily driver friendly and
sharp enough to qualify for a spot at any local show field.
Even at a quick glance, it's pretty easy to tell that this is a
special truck. It's clean and sleek, at once familiar yet still a
bit unique, leading you to wonder what else is in store. Well, for
starters, the truck was restored and beautifully painted Dark Gray
over straight bodywork, so this square-jawed workhorse now has a
very sleek look. Other than a smooth roll pan in place of the rear
bumper, they resisted the urge to add any annoying bolt-on
aggressions like a cowl induction hood or other styling gimmicks,
because, quite honestly, it's hard to beat the factory specs on
these trucks. It's really quite a clean slate, with the "Chevrolet"
badge up front and the Bowtie in the grille as the only factory
indicators, providing the next owner an awesome look as-is, or a
great jump-off point for any aftermarket accoutrements. The bed
features a factory tailgate with big CHEVROLET letters embossed on
its surface, and the familiar taillights look great thanks to fresh
lenses. Along the way, you'll note the beautiful dark gray,
basecoat/clearcoat paint that looks like it was borrowed from a
late-model color chart and the chiseled bodywork wears it
splendidly. Great gaps and a deep shine emphasize the truck's
sporty personality and the neatly refinished bed showcases a
spray-in bedliner that's durable enough to handle just about
anything you throw at it. Not a perfect truck, but if it's a top
driver-quality rig with killer good looks that you're after, they
don't get much better than this, especially at this price
point.
You get a little more than just a working-class interior with this
C-10, because it's just as clean inside as it is outside, and just
as well executed. Handsome black vinyl upholstery does a fantastic
job of looking like real leather and the big bench is very
comfortable and firm with solid yet supple padding underneath. That
beautiful seat upholstery is matched with plush black carpets and
matching factory door panels with arm rests that really tie the
whole interior together nicely. The original gauges are gone,
replaced by a set of crisp, clear, factory-replacement dials that
look like they were born inside the new, super-clean bezel. There's
a Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo head unit in the factory dash-slot and
powerful 'Old Air' A/C system that was neatly installed about as
close to factory-spec as you can get, so it feels quite up-to-date
from behind the wheel. And speaking of the wheel, it's a chromed
banjo-style unit with a padded vinyl rim, and it's mounted atop a
polished tilt steering column. Man, it's really nice in there!
More great stuff is happening under the hood, where you'll find a
great-running 350 cubic inch small block V8 swapped in from a
later-model Chevrolet. The engine bay is very clean and
well-finished, with shiny black inner fenders flanking a neatly
dressed engine block covered in Chevrolet Orange, to go along with
the matching air cleaner and valve covers. With an A.I.R. 4-barrel
carburetor and performance intake manifold, and an HEI distributor,
it certainly has plenty of pep for a vintage pickup truck. It's got
that awesome throaty idle and thanks to ram's horn style headers
and a pair of glasspack mufflers on the dual exhaust, the
soundtrack is racy, not trucky like you'd expect. The TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission shifts smoothly and with
acceleration-friendly gears in the 12-bolt rear end, this is one
pickup that's shockingly quick off the line. Power steering and
power front disc brakes make every ride enjoyable, and fresh
bushings underneath help set that killer rake on the profile.
Chrome Cragar S/S wheels finish the look and are wrapped in
staggered 215/65/15 front and 245/60/15 rear Cooper Cobra
white-letter radials with plenty of tread left, and not only do
they look great, but they also help plant the power for this
lightweight truck.
Nicely finished trucks like this aren't easy to build and there's
likely far more than the asking price tied up in it. So, stop
shopping for a project and take this finished truck home instead.
