For Sale: 1970 Chevrolet K-10 in Concord, North Carolina

This 1970 Chevrolet K10 is a 4x4 with a powerful small block, a nice A/C interior, and it's rendered in a slick modern paint. So it's the weekend friend that helps with the chores on Saturdays, hits the town in the evening, and then makes the scene at the Sunday car show. It's truly the vintage ride that can do it all.

That glossy red knows how to pop when the sunshine hits it. Not only does the paint look nice, but also the body is exceptionally straight and the chrome bumpers are mirror-like. Also showing off the straightness of the side panels is the cool vintage wood-like trim running the full length of the sides and on the tailgate insert. The overall look is a well-done truck that isn't so over-done that people will accuse you of having a trailer queen. Instead, you know this is the one that could add a hitch to tow the trailer queens There's even a steel bed floor painted black to help keep this long bed looking good while you pull real truck duty. But custom elements like the grille and polished 17-inch wheels let you know that this one likes to be memorable for its distinction rather than just its capability.

There was plenty invested inside to give it the ideal look of vintage and new. It starts with the seats. The saddle tan is always attractive, especially when it feels this fresh and has the premium C10 western-style pattern. The door panels are done to match, too. The same freshness can be found on fundamentals like the carpeting and dash pad. The restoration even focused on the details that make a big difference, like the glass and weather-stripping. There are well-integrated modern upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner w/aux input for your iPod, and the air conditioning is a modern R134a setup. The classic Chevy steering wheel is a welcome site, and it gives you a clear view of the full gauge package that includes a tach.

The 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood has a tidy and clean presentation. We like that it's a nice strong running motor for this truck. We're told it's a four-bolt main unit bored .30 over and given a Lunati VooDoo cam. There's also a Summit four-barrel carburetor w/electric choke to make sure this one loves to fire up readily and run strong. There's even a stall on the three-speed automatic transmission to keep you in the ideal powerband. The proper raised 4x4 suspension and two-speed transfer case mean this classic keeps going even when the pavement ends. As you look underneath, you'll spot newer components, like the dual exhaust and full brake kit. That gives this one more confidence in all conditions, and features like power steering and power brakes give this a solid feeling on the road.

This is the classic 4x4 that is made to look sharp, feel comfortable, and stay quite capable. So it has some great all-around appeal that you'll want to get your hands on today. Call now!
