For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet C10 in Concord, North Carolina

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. Call now!
