Vehicle Description
Roll into the next cruise night with this 1967 Chevrolet C10
pickup, and they might just hand you a trophy before you even shut
the engine off. Beautifully built to be driven and regularly
depended on, this stylish pickup has all the right ingredients for
a serious street machine, and it doesn't matter if you prefer
driving or showing, it does it all equally well. Strong motor?
Check. Killer looks? Double check. Great options? You betcha. This
C-10 is ready to roll.
Few trucks are as good-looking as Chevy's C10 "Action Line" models
that debuted in 1967. This one, with its lowered stance and sleek
two-tone paint almost looks like the muscle car of trucks, with a
predatory crouch and a ton of eyeball appeal. Of course, the
dazzling Black over Spitfire Orange (a modern Chrysler shade) paint
doesn't hurt, along with the contrasting pinstripes that were
painted on to split the two colors and add a custom look to the
cowl hood. A lot of prep went into this truck before the paint went
on, with great gaps and smooth surfaces that show undistorted
reflections, a hallmark of quality workmanship and a big investment
of time. Custom touches include that cowl hood, filled-in and
smoothed drip rails, deleted trim, and a custom bed that's been
raised four inches, topped with bedlined wood panels, and features
a relocated gas tank and recessed filler cap. It's not a perfect
trailer queen, as there are some imperfections here and there, but
this truck was built to be driven and enjoyed, not put away for
inspection only. And because it was finished a mere 4,848 miles
ago, everything still looks very fresh. The only brightwork that
survived is what's around the grille and headlights (which are
unique to 1967 within the Glamour Line), while shiny bumpers fore
and aft are the perfect endcaps for this black-and-orange beauty.
Despite the raised bed, this custom C10 can still function as a
truck, further aided with the addition of a black diamond plate
toolbox mounted behind the cab.
While the exterior says muscle, the interior expresses comfort. A
comfy bench seat upholstered in durable, high-end tweed offers lots
of support and it's punctuated with a removable center armrest/cup
holder console in the middle. The wide seat anchors a
luxurious-looking cab that's a long way from 1967, neatly
contrasted with plush black carpets on the floors and black vinyl
door panels at the flanks that were finely tailored and expertly
trimmed to a high standard. The cabin is a slam-dunk in the styling
department, with a gray-and-black decor that subdues the more
high-impact exterior, and it shows off a wonderful blend of
original and aftermarket pieces. The original-style instrument
panel is full of handsome Classic Instruments gauges with clear
lenses, and the sporty, leather-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel
on the tilt column would look at home in a Camaro, let alone a C10.
A black dash pad and black sun visors match the door panels, so the
truck has a very polished, high-quality feel, and it's fitted with
cold A/C that's fully operational thanks to an R134a refrigerant
upgrade and modern hardware. Entertainment is provided via a
retro-style AM/FM/AUX stereo installed in the original location and
a dash-mounted Holley Sniper EFI screen manages the air/fuel
mixture for the fuel injection system under the hood.
In the horsepower department, this C10 is rocking a professionally
rebuilt 350 V8, put together by Mike Jackson from Republic Custom
engines approximately 2,000 miles ago. It comes complete with a
Holley Sniper EFI system that keeps it well-fed, an Edelbrock
aluminum high-rise intake, HEI ignition, and a lopey COMP Cams
camshaft inside that helps set a wicked idle. There's plenty of
dress-up parts, from the finned Edelbrock valve covers to the
chrome open-element air cleaner, and the block really pops out from
the gloss black inner fenders and firewall. A serpentine belt
system keeps all those modern components installed tight up against
the block and up front there's a big radiator fitted with two
Summit Racing fans to keep it the whole show nice and cool. This
powerful small-block runs great, with endless reserves of torque on
tap at any speed and the custom Flowmaster-style dual exhaust
system sounds awesome and dumps just past the rear axle. It's
backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission feeding
a stout 12-bolt rear end, hanging on the heavy-duty coil spring
suspension that features nitro gas shocks and drop spindles that
set the stance. Power steering, sway bars, and power 4-wheel disc
brakes ensure a great driving experience every time out, and they
help this C10 plant all that extra power. That lowered stance looks
exactly right, hunkered down on those gorgeous black-and-chrome
bullet-hole wheels wrapped in thick 255/65/16 General Grabber
blackwall radials all around.
Fast, fun, and stylish, this dialed-in C10 truck offers an
incredible look and heavy-duty hardware all for a very reasonable
price. Call today!
