Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet C10 Long Bed Pickup
Bedecked. Bedazzled. Bespoken. All terms that indicate a level of
customization and whether that's clothes, a house, or a car, it's
all open to personal taste and interpretation. Car customization
goes way back to when cars first hit the road and addon features
are readily available at auto parts stores from coast to coast.
Adjunct items can be added to a car for safety, performance, or
just because the owner likes the way it functions or looks.
For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet C10 long bed pick up truck,
bedazzled with a number of addon items that render the truck a
standout. These items would have been personally selected and
likely DIY installed on this classic 1969 C10 that was adored by
its previous owner.
Exterior
This long bed benefits from a coat of light blue paint that's
single stage but shines nicely. It also has nice coverage with a
few imperfections that include bubbling, some scuffs, and some
scratches. The chrome bumpers and flat grille with Chevrolet
emblazoned crossbar with driving lights are in good shape as are
the 15-inch chrome Wagon wheels with bowtie wearing mock knockoffs.
And those knockoffs are the tip of the iceberg for added
accessories. Let's start at the front where amber fog lights ride
the bumper and above it, a blue plexiglass bug guard on the nose
with Chevy Heartbeat decals. Around the windshield we have
spotlights, extra side mirrors and a Lund style visor with cab
lights on top. A chrome rain guard hovers over the side windows and
a chrome handle on the back of the cab helps with climbing up,
which is also eased with the aluminum running board with builtin
front mudflaps. Speaking of mudflaps, Chevrolet flaps are mounted
behind the rear tires and a tall bumper guide pole rises from the
rear. Diamond steel plates top that bumper and a chrome exhaust
deflector peeks out from underneath. The black vinyl tonneau cover
over the well used bed is in great condition.
Interior
Two shades of blue cover the inner doors and show some patina on
this well loved but otherwise clean truck. Two shades are also
found on the vinyl bench seat, also showing some use but not bad.
The standard steering wheel is cracked in the center, but the rim
is wrapped in vinyl and houses a spinner knob to make turning
easier. The dash is standard but now contains a thermometer in the
center, a volt gauge underneath, and a CB radio! An aftermarket
AM/FM radio in the blue metal dash and an A/C unit is mounted
underneath. A Hurst floor mounted shifter rises up, surrounded by a
rubber mat that covers the floor along with some carpeted floor
mats. Above our heads, the body colored metal roof is uncovered and
clean while the visors look fine.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a driver quality 250ci inline 6 cylinder putting
out 155 horsepower and wearing a 1-barrel carburetor. A Saginaw
3-speed manual transmission is underfoot and sends power to the 12
bolt rear axle. Drum brakes are at all four corners.
Undercarriage
The pleasantly sparce underside is driver quality as well with some
surface rust, some oil on the pan and transmission, and some drips
on the rear differential. Typical soot and grease by the wheel
components but no invasive rust to speak of! A single exhaust
enters a stock style muffler before snaking its way to the rear and
being crowned with the chrome deflector. The spare tire is in place
underneath and we'd guess it might be from 1969.
Drive-Ability
This well maintained truck starts right up and rolls its long bed
on to the test loop in all its retro accessorized glory. She's no
speed demon but the six cylinders chug away with eager ambition and
easily move this pickup across our course, and it's a fine ride
indeed where we find only the reverse light non operational. All
other functional items work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
This truck has more character than many we see and has some useful
accessories to make your driving experience more enjoyable. We can
already think of some fun things to do with the spotlights!
Meanwhile, it's a great little work truck that is of a classic
vintage and would likely be welcome at car shows too! Want more of
a stock look? All of the accessories bolt off if that's the
direction you wanted to go. As is, the blue beauty is ready for its
next caretaker.
