Loaded! Back in the day trucks were work horses, most were 6
cylinders with manual transmissions. Usually no frills, no comfort
features, no pizazz. This deluxe C-10 has it all. A 283 V-8 with an
automatic is rare, power steering and brakes would be very unusual,
factory air conditioning would be unheard of!
It has been meticulously restored from the ground up to like new
condition.
EXTERIOR: Most likely nicer than it was when new. The body is
pristine. Arrow straight, no rust, dents or damage. Beautiful
Crystal Turquoise color. The paint is polished like glass, I didn't
see any flaw. It's the Custom which gives it the added trim. The
standard has painted bumpers and grill. This has all new chrome
grill, bumpers, stainless trim in the windshield gaskets, side
moldings and gas cap. It also has optional bumper guards. New
emblems, mirrors, door handles and tailgate hardware. New rear
window, original windshield. The rims are restored, new hubcaps and
reproduction BFG Silvertown tires. New weatherstrip and
gaskets.
INTERIOR: The entire inside of the cab is repainted turquoise. The
carpet, upholstery and visors were replaced. The armrests, window
cranks and handles were replaced. The instruments, lenses, steering
wheel look new. Ultra rare air conditioning vents and controls
built into the dash. This meant relocating the ashtray under the
dash which is a hard part to find. Seat belts have been added.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed to like new factory condition. Correct
283 V-8 dated 1964. Stock manifolds, valve covers, carb and air
cleaner. The factory air conditioning system was restored and
updated with R134 freon. It also features power steering and power
brakes. Every component looks new- alternator, brackets, pulleys,
wiring harness etc. The radiator, shroud, fan, reproduction hoses
and clamps look new. The engine bay is smooth metal very neatly
painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is pristine. New oak boards are
clear coated. New stainless strips and hardware. The metal is
perfectly smooth, no rust or damage. It looks like it's only hauled
pillows!
UNDERSIDE: Rust free floors, rockers and frame. They were prepped
and painted semi gloss black. The brake system was restored,
upgraded to disc in front. The front was gone through- balljoints,
pitman arm, all 4 shocks were replaced. It has dual exhaust with
Dynomax mufflers. Looking up at the motor it is spotless, fresh
starter and flywheel cover. The Powerglide automatic looks
fresh.
I bought this because of the whole package. Colors, quality and
options. Don't compare to something similar, this one has it
ALL!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
