Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet C10 Custom has been built with a purpose. It
has bright bumpers, real wood in the bed, interior upgrades, an
overdrive transmission, and thousands $$$$ spent on a fresh and
powerful 400+ hp V8. But as you look over the full package, you'll
also see it doesn't lose that shop truck kind of vibe that's seen
on some of the coolest classic pickups around today.

The body has a very complete and vintage style, but there's an
interesting appeal here. A white pickup is a true symbol of a hard
day's work, and this one has the kind of body and paint that can
remind you of that. So it makes us want to stencil a faded father &
son business name on the doors. And this is not just some patina
machine. The big chrome bumpers, wide grille, and all the intricate
trim - including Custom Cab pillars - are terrific correct pieces.
They all show a solid investment that lets people know this one is
special. Plus, there are upgrades that fit in with the style
nicely, like the high polish on the rally-style wheels and
sharp-looking real wood in the truck bed with bright slats in
between. So this one really straddles the line between shop truck
and stylish cruiser...and that just seems to be irresistible.

Your first impression of the interior will likely be that this
tries not to stray too far from the classic pickup feeling. But you
also can tell there has been a good investment in the fundamentals
with good window rubbers, clean glass, newer door panels, and a
bench seat upgraded to a comfy cloth. This even has an upgraded
retro-style AM/FM stereo and provisions for R134a air conditioning
(it will need servicing to blow cold again.) Plus, you get a sports
steering wheel, Lokar shifter, and a full set of upgraded AutoMeter
gauges with a large speedo and tach.

The engine bay has a full fresh style, and that's because we have
thousands in receipts documenting a new motor installed in the
summer of 2021. It's not just that its 350 cubic-inch crate V8 is
fresh; it's also a serious powerhouse. It's built with ported
heads, upgraded pushrods, a performance intake, and topped with a
Holley four-barrel carburetor. The full pack is said to be
estimated at 435 horsepower, and the header-fed X-pipe dual exhaust
does a great job of announcing its muscle. And this also has the
right supporting components, like a new fuel pump, a serpentine
belt system, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. But more than
just a pure power pickup, it truly is an easy cruiser. That's why
you have an upgraded four-speed automatic transmission with
overdrive. There's also power steering, power front disc brakes,
newer General Grabber tires, and the C10's trailing arm rear
suspension.

A distinct style, the right upgrades, and a fresh growling V8 are
why you were attracted to this Chevrolet C10 pickup. But the same
great custom features attracted others, too, so you may want to
hurry up and call today!
