Vehicle Description
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 Custom has the kind of appeal that comes
from a real truck that has earned its patina. And while we all love
a true workman hero, this one also has an impressive driver-ready
nature of a modern fuel-injected V8 and overdrive transmission.
The two-tone light blue with white roof and white side streak is a
great '60s-style classic combo. The paintwork aged into an earned
patina style that makes for an awesome real truck feeling. The
workman spirit is also seen on the weathered lumber on the bed
floor. And speaking of the bed, they even left the welds where a
replacement short bed was fabricated by cutting into an old long
bed... and leaving the welds shown just adds to this kind of
industrial style. But you can also instantly see there's more going
on with this one than just its earned vintage. Brightwork areas
like the bumpers, grille, and full-length side trim have the shine
of added attention. And those 18-inch wheels on the lowered sporty
stance give a good hint at the added power within.
The interior continues the truck's authentic feel on paces like the
door panels and dash. They have an aged-in look that's more about
being a display for the patina theme. But just like the exterior,
you can also tell there have been upgrades for a better cruiser
style. There are nice functional pieces, like a newer seat cover,
newer carpeting, and the gas tank moved to under the bed. And you
take firm control over this pickup with the Billet Specialties
sports steering wheel mounted on a tilt column.
When you open the engine bay, it immediately reveals a 5.7-liter
Vortec V8. This is a hardy GM truck motor, but generations younger
than what you could have originally had in this C10. So we love
that it keeps the right lineage while also getting added power and
consistency. With the upgrade to a four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive, you have a total package that fires up
eagerly, offers plenty of power, and cruises easily near or far.
You also have power steering, the C10's trailing arm rear
suspension, and modern sport tires. The brakes were even upgraded
to a newer booster and Wilwood discs up front.
This is a cool patina truck with the confidence of fuel-injected
power. That's why you know you need to hurry to grab this deal.
