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. Repainted and the beneficiary of a
restoration, this truck has endured its years with minimal rust and
is a looker and a cooker. Now with a reworked late model V8,
overdrive transmission, heat and AC, lots of mechanical repairs and
upgrades and an interior update 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 LED 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 but retainingthe lower
beltline wide stainless trimming that curves around both front and
rear wheel wells and highlights the slab sided sea of red. Just a
few inclusions and touchup for the straight steel panels are seen
along with a few small bubbles in the bottom of the drivers door.
All good though with nice gaps, black and stainless trimmings for
tinted window surrounds and a simple chrome mirror hanging from
each of the doors. The rear cargo area is looking good with a
pneumaticstrut assisted hard shell cover and within is a black
carpeted mat to protect the red steel bed floor. The rear bumper
hangs below and the original tail lights are flanking either side
of the tailgate. Polished lip old skool kewl 15-inch American
Racing Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in staggered width Cooper Cobra
GT black walls finish out the package nicely.
Interior
Nice door panels in black and light gray broadcloth with a red
piping delineator 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
bucket seats dressed in a similar pattern to the mid 1980's Mustang
GT's with smooth light gray broadcloth bolsters and black tuck and
roll inserts with more of that sexy red piping. These present in
very nice shape with only normal age wear from careful use. The
original dash has been retained and within the crinkle finish black
bezel cluster we see the full gamut of white face gauges courtesy
of Classic Industries. We note an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo in
the center of the dash along with the climate control slides and
red padded dash top adds some pop to the interior upfront, as does
the 3 spoke steering wheel in black and chrome. 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 350ci V8 is now installed and is fed by a single 4-barrel
carburetor through an aluminum intake manifold. An
automaticoverdrive 700R4-speed is on the back and a completely
rebuilt 12-bolt rear with 3.73 gears is the rear axle setup.
Looking good under this hood with supple hoses and clean
concisewiring.
Undercarriage
From the engine we see headers feeding clean piping to like new
stainless steel exhaust. Independent coil springs for front and
trailing arm with coil springs on the back. Power front disc brakes
work with power rear drums to bring things to a safe and secure
halt. Some slight surface rust on the usual suspects underneath,
but well cared for and structurally sound with black and gray
steel.
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, a
little removal of the chrome looks nice with the theme, and some
black accenting does it solid. The interior is great, late model
seats, weather stripping, glass, all in the comfort of heat and AC,
and we are ready to go haul...some ass!
