Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet C10 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.
As our consigner states, "This was a terrific project that has been
finished that you can now just get in and drive!". And drive you
can with this 37,916 non verifiable mile C10with a short list of
upgrades and modifications, along with all rust remediation
completed. This truck is not only a hauler but definitely a heart
stopper. Now with a 6.0 Liter LS V8, Holley Sniper EFI, and a lot
of creature comforts which I will expound upon in this rambling if
you simply read on!!
Exterior
All steel, all bathed in a splendid application of black with a
clear coat, and all looking fabulous but not without fault. A few
dings are noted throughout the body, mainly on the tops of the bed
sides and tailgate. The original grille is on and in pristine
condition centered between the polished bezel single headlights.
This paves the way for the long steel hood and it is as smooth as
glass. The spear on the center of the hood accentuated the stunning
design. As we move rearward on either side, more straight black
painted steel with well minded gaps, and window trimmings are all
looking nice and shiny, and the glass is like new, crystal clear
all around. The bed is open for all to see, as it should be with
the black texture finish for the inside sides and bulkhead along
with custom walnut flooring installed and this is nearly perfect.
The tailgate has more of black with embossed CHEVROLET lettering
and exposed trim holes. The rear bumper is like new and shiny with
tall tail lights and reverse lights seen hovering above. Highly
polished 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels are noted on all 4
corners wrapped in staggered width medium profile rubber.
Interior
The build quality never ceases to amaze this writer. Here we see,
with the swing of the doors, a recovered factory bench with smooth
oxblood red bolsters and red tuck and roll inserts. Custom
cupholders have been added and we note black lap belts for your
safety. As we move our attention to the dash, we note the original
instrument cluster panel in the textured black with a lineup of
like new gauges. Strapped to the factory column is the 2 spoke
black plastic steering wheel and a SunPro tachometer. A trio of
supporting gauges hangs below the dash and holds a GPS speedometer
along with oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Factory
heater slides and a neatly installed AM/FM/CD stereo is occupying
dash central and above all this is a red padded vinyl dash topper.
On either side are smooth metal doors bathed in the matching black
exterior paint with oxblood sheridan embossed vinyl panels with
clean cranks and actuators. Nice red carpeting covers the floors
and a long armed shifter with a white ball topper grows from the
hump. Above is a satin black painted metal ribbed roof headliner,
pure stamped steel. Plenty of WOW factors inside here.
Drivetrain
Lifting the hood we are in a land of an all black and orange all
buttoned up engine bay surrounds. In the center sits the shining
machined to perfection star in the form of a 6.0 Liter General
Motors LS series V8. Our consignor notes this was removed from a
2500 series pickup and based on the casting dates seen it is of the
2003 vintage.On top is a new Holley Sniper EFI system. On back is a
Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission, with a 12-bolt rear axle to
put the power to the pavement.
Undercarriage
The strong black frame provides the backbone for the patina and
surface rust coated flooring and bed underside. We note a few areas
of invasive rust on the steel of the bed flooring, but all else is
solid. We also see power discs in the front and power drums in the
rear and an independent front suspension with coil springs working
in conjunction with a leaf spring rear suspension. Headers snake
their way down from the engine and pick up stainless piping which
terminates with turndowns just aft of the cab.
Drive-Ability
Slipping inside she fired right up and off to the test track we
went. The heater kicked on and blew warm, as it was chilly for my
early morning drive and in the background I dialed in a local radio
station and all seemed right with the world at that time.And it was
for our test drive, where we had lightning acceleration, smooth
shifting, and a great ride for a pickup truck, even with some good
handling.All functions were up to snuff, and we were looking good
doing it! 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.
Lots of upgrades and customizations put this particulate C-10 in
pretty much a class of its own.Wonderfully trimmed and painted
exterior, a walnut lined bed, a new interior and a powerful mill
under the hood.Just get in and drive...Does it get any easier than
that??
