Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Pickup
The 1967-72 Chevrolet C/K is one of the most popular, reliable, and
easiest to drive classic pickups you can find. This particular
generation marks the turning point when Chevy realized it could
offer truck buyers modern conveniences and comfort options in the
same way it did sedan shoppers, a stunningly simple connection to
make in retrospect, but one that blew the market wide open during a
time when primary rival Ford steadfastly refusing to build anything
other than the most utilitarian models for work use.
For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet C10 short bed pickup with 885
miles showing which can not be verified as the title reads exempt.
A recipient of a frame off restoration that completed in 2021 with
all kinds of go fast, be comfortable, and look good goodies that
bring this bedded bad boy into the realm of fully custom and given
the configuration, essentially one of a kind.
Exterior
A sharp contrast is found between the Summit White body of the
truck and the Black Walnut Pearl cab which almost seems to spill
onto the black tonneau cover like it's wearing a cape. The truck is
low on its haunches over some nifty 20-inch US Mag wheels with low
profile meats. The chrome grille tops a sleek bumper that wraps
tightly to the body and is in great shape, as is the polished
hardware including the side mirrors and door handles. The tailgate
exclaims CHEVROLET in gray and charcoal letters while the LED tail
lights provide some popping color off the back. Twin chrome exhaust
tips exit the rear corners of the truck and the vintage design
remains present in this custom build. Under the tonneau, beautiful
honey colored wood and stainless rails look like the glossy dance
floor of the finest country club. We note only one area of
imperfection in paint run down by the rocker panel.
Interior
Black painted inserts are framed in white paint on the door, with
the basic hardware attached. Inside, charcoal cloth bucket seats
and center console from a 2014 Silverado look right at home and a
unique 4 spoke steering wheel fronts a Dakota Digital dash and
gauge cluster that benefits from new wiring in the truck, and the
red backlight is sharp. In the center, an AM/FM radio and A/C panel
controlling the Vintage Air system is in place. A tall Hurst
shifter rises from the floor which is adorned with fresh black loop
style carpet. Up top, the structural groves and rest of the ceiling
are simply painted and black vinyl visors are present.
Drivetrain
A super clean 327ci engine awaits as we pop the hood. It's been
rebuilt and bored .030 over and has an Elgin camshaft with
.462i/.469e lift, 210i/215e duration @050. There's an Edelbrock
intake and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and MSD ignition lighting
it up. A T5 5-speed manual transmission is onboard sending power to
the 12 bolt axle with 3.73 conventional gears. To harness the power
this plant puts out, four wheel power disc brakes are supplied. The
engine is show worthy with powder coated inner fenders and lots of
polished pulleys and other clean engine components. A pair of
electric fans keep things cool.
Undercarriage
More shiny stuff underneath with a chromed rear differential cover
and oil pan, bright red shocks, a powder coated gas tank, and
good-looking wood as well. Everything is clean and lots of it is
fresh from the rebuild including all new front suspension
components including drop spindles, control arms, ball joints, and
more. Flaming River provides the rack and pinion steering unit and
single leaf suspension in back has a 4 inch drop. Coil springs are
up front. The exhaust comes off coated headers into FlowMaster
mufflers and then exits out back.
Drive-Ability
She starts with a bellowing tone from the dual pipes and off we go,
rowing the long shifter through its paces and enjoying the bucket
seat accommodations inside. The 327 puts out significant power and
acceleration is impressive, and the truck is sure footed and smooth
on straight away and in turns, not leaning like an "old" C10 would,
and stopping a lot better too! Right turns only in this truck,
(sorry, NASCAR Truck Series fans), as the left turn signal is not
operational. All other functions work as intended and the dash
lights up like the Fourth of July! 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.
C10's remain strong in the collector market world and here's a
restored and updated version that's clean and ready to go with the
turn of a key. Don't take a long nap on this short bed, or it'll be
gone like a white flash.
