With its matte black finish, painted front and rear bumpers and
custom side mirrors paired with an aggressively inclined stance
that comes via a set of fresh Mickey Thompson ET Street Tires, this
1965 Chevrolet C10 has an undeniably cool look. It offers a great
combination of authentically vintage and aftermarket elements that
combine to create a truly standout finished result. And, along with
those well-thought-out aesthetic features comes a driving
experience that's sure to put a smile on your face, with a nicely
enhanced engine anchoring a very high functioning drivetrain. If
you're looking for a classic truck that's equal parts looker and
thrill ride, you'll want to check this one out.
The two-tone, red and black interior makes for a compelling driving
environment, with a vinyl bench seat at its center that still has
plenty of life left. The adjacent B&M floor-mounted shifter
calls for you to grab ahold and start the action, and the
undersized steering wheel perched on the tilting column confers an
additional aftermarket sensibility. At the center of the dash, an
AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity sits in place of the
original radio, sending its sound through both under dash and boxed
speakers below the seat to create an outstanding audio
experience.
This C10 packs quite a punch. It's powered by a 383-cubic-inch
stroker V8, so there'll be plenty of torque at your disposal, and
with an upgraded camshaft, Proform four-barrel 650 double-pumper
carburetor and a GM Performance Parts aluminum intake manifold also
added to the mix, it holds the promise of many future miles of
exhilarating driving. The well-fortified engine teams with a
3-speed automatic TH400 transmission that was serviced not long ago
and shifts through its gears without issue. A recently rebuilt
12-bolt rear axle with Eaton posi-traction completes this
rock-solid drivetrain. As you'd likely expect from a ride with so
many fresh, high-quality components on board, this Chevy starts
easily, idles smoothly and accelerates with strength that becomes
apparent right away. Up front, an upgraded aluminum radiator pairs
with an electric fan to keep operating temperatures in check.
