Vehicle Description
You want cool? You've got it with this 1970 Chevy C10 Custom
pickup. With a high-end, high-visibility paint job not often seen
on trucks of this vintage, a powerful 350 V8 crate motor under the
hood, great options, and a supremely comfortable A/C and bucket
seat interior. It also helps that this beauty comes equipped with a
practical 8-foot bed that can still work for a living, and has a
scant 2,247 miles on the restoration. Looking for the cleanest
longbed Action Line pickup on the market? You probably just found
it.
If you're looking for a gorgeous turn-key truck that's ready to
show-or-go right now, they don't come much cooler than this.
White-and Red are the trunk's original colors (this particular
shade of red looks like a cross between Hugger Orange and Cardinal
Red), and this tried-and-true color combination looks great on
anything wearing a Chevy bowtie emblem, especially something born
in 1970. The condition of the sheetmetal cannot be described as
anything less that laser straight, and the professional dedication
that put this truck together shows in every single square inch (and
there's a ton of acreage on this longbed) of top
driver-quality/borderline show paint that went onto its flanks. A
glance in all the nooks and crannies shows that even though the
respray was completed back in 2008, it was absolutely done right,
because there are no traces of any past colors to be found anywhere
and there are hardly any signs of use. Sure, there may be a light
scratch or swirl mark or two leftover from a car wash, but we're
talking really minor stuff - most of which could easily be remedied
with a buff-and-wax. Logging less than 2,300 miles on this C10 in
the last 14 years has certainly kept it looking this good, and
thanks to the miracle of modern paints, it'll continue to look this
dialed-in for decades. Bright Custom-spec stainless trim,
super-clean body molding, and shiny bumpers at the endcaps break up
the red paint nicely, there's a matching fiberglass hard tonneau
cover that fits neatly over the bed, and the inside of the bed was
finished with durable red spray-in bedliner material that will
protect the sheetmetal practically forever.
The interior has been updated from stock just a bit, starting with
a pair of low-back, red-and-black Houndstooth bucket seats that
look like they could have come from a 1st generation Camaro, but
offer the added comfort of modern materials. There's a matching red
console between them, equipped with cup holders and extra storage,
plush red carpets and black floor mats insulate the floors, and the
door panels are reproduction pieces that match quite nicely with
stock-style 'Western Scroll' and wood grain accents. As with the
body, there are essentially zero signs of use, showing off an
interior that was expertly done utilizing a wonderful combination
of pickup truck and muscle. The gauges are original dials that
cover the basics - highlighted by the optional tachometer in the
center - and all the comfort items you'd want are included, from
the leather-wrapped chrome steering wheel mounted atop a tilt
column, the retro-style AM/FM/Cassette/AUX stereo, to the ice-cold
Vintage Air A/C that keeps the cab incredibly comfortable during
every season.
Underneath the hood, a late-model 350 cubic inch Crate V8 sits in a
very nicely detailed engine compartment, sporting a very sharp,
dual-filter air cleaner and polished aluminum Chevrolet valve
covers on top. With only 2,247 miles on the build, the engine is
running strong - armed with an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and polished
aluminum intake, as well as aftermarket headers that feed into a
throaty Corsa H-pipe dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers found
below. The engine is covered in Chevy Orange enamel and there are
polished/billet pulleys and accessories found throughout, and even
the firewall and inner fenders were neatly painted and detailed for
show. The block pairs with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission
that spins a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end, a combination that's more
than ready to handle anything the small block can throw at it.
Power steering and power front disc brakes are always welcomed on a
vintage pickup, and those flashy MB Motoring bullet-hole alloys
come wrapped in expensive Michelin white-letter radials at all four
corners.
Offering all the vintage appeal you could ask for, but with just
the right upgrades to provide a great driving experience in
everyday conditions, this gorgeous 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom is one
awesome truck. Call today!
