Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet C10 Pickup
Although the C10 most commonly identifies as the half-ton,
short-bed pickup, it came in different styles. The C10 featured a
115-inch wheelbase for the pickup equipped with the 6.5-foot bed
and a 127-inch wheelbase for models with the 8-foot bed. Chevy sold
pickups as a chassis and cab that required buyers to custom-fit
their choice of beds. Other styles featured the Fleetside, or flat
panel cargo box, and the Stepside, which had the rear wheels
outside the bed and a step mounted between the cab and wheel wells.
C10 models also included a panel truck and the Suburban sport
utility vehicle.
Here at Classic Auto Mall on consignment is this mildly modified
Chevrolet C10 pickup from 1967. Painted over 8 years ago and the
beneficiary of a partial frame off restoration this former Georgia
truck has endured its years with minimal rust and is a looker and a
cooker. Now with a reworked late model V8, shaved rear bumper, lots
of mechanical repairs and upgrades and an interior update from a
newer GMC pickup are just a few of the tasks performed on this
custom. Truly unique, truly cool, and quite the runner, all
buttoned up and ready for the big dance, and to put a smile on a
new owner's face.
Exterior
Starting up front we are met with the new for '67 rectangular C10
front end with outboard round headlights and split grille assembly
with integral parking lenses in the lower section and a shiny like
new bumper below. Yes, the body is all red, clean, and shaved of
any badging that may have existed. Just a few inclusions and
touchup for the straight steel panels are seen along with some
areas where the paint was applied too dry. All good though with
nice gaps, black trimmings for window surrounds and a simple chrome
mirror hanging from the driver's door. The rear cargo area is
looking good with a plastic drop in bedliner and a rubber mat for
extra protection. The rear bumper has been shaved and the original
taillights are flanking either side of the tailgate. Deep dish 6
lug 15-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 275/60R15 Cooper Cobra black
walls finish out the package nicely.
Interior
Nice door panels in black vinyl and painted red metal with shiny
chrome door actuators and window cranks pave the way for your entry
into the cab. Here you'll find the traditional long bench seat
replaced with charcoal leather bucket seats courtesy of a newer GMC
pickup. These present in very nice shape with only normal age wear
from careful use. The original dash has been retained and displays
with a duo of round gauges and smaller round insert with warning
lights and the signal indicator. An aftermarket tachometer has been
added to the original steering column. We note a radio delete panel
in the center of the dash along with the climate control slides and
black padded dash top adds some contrast to the interior upfront,
as does the 2 spoke steering wheel in black. New black carpet
floods the floors and the headliner is all metal and red, and as we
move to the back of the cab, a rounded tinted glass window lets you
see out back and check on the cargo when the tonneau is
removed.
Drivetrain
A rebuilt and bored .030 over circa 1986 350ci V8 is now installed
and is fed by a 4bbl Edelbrock 600cfm carburetor through an
aluminum intake manifold. This mill features a Melling high volume
oil pump, Cloyes double roller timing chain, a 350/350 camshaft,
and 2.02/1.60 valves in the heads. A rebuilt T5 5-speed manual with
a new clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing is on back and a
12-bolt rear with 3.73 gears is the rear axle setup. Looking good
under this hood with new belts, hoses, and fan shroud, heater core,
and heavy-duty water pump.
Undercarriage
From the engine we see dual feeding clean piping to Cherrybomb
exhausts, drum brakes on all 4 corners, and independent coil
springs for front and trailing arm with coil springs on the back.
Some slight surface rust underneath, but well cared for and
structurally sound. We note a new fuel tank and lines as well as a
new driveshaft, U-joints, carrier bearing and a rebuilt power
steering box
Drive-Ability
It took to the test track like a fish in water, where it showed
good acceleration from the 350ci and 4bbl, smooth braking, tight
handling, and even a smooth ride at a cruising speed. All fine for
the test drive.
Some snazzy and much welcomed modifications for this truck, shaving
the chrome looks nice with the theme, and some black accenting does
it solid. The interior is good, late model seats, weather
stripping, glass, and 5 speed on the floor, and we are ready to go
haul...some ass!
