History

The second-generation Chevrolet “Action Line” pickups (1967–1972) are among the most iconic and collectible GM trucks ever produced, celebrated for their rugged simplicity and timeless design.

This 1970 K10 was built at the Janesville, Wisconsin Assembly Plant. It was acquired by the current owner in 2015 from Montana as a highly original driver. The owner subsequently commissioned Drew Brothers Customs to perform the comprehensive frame-off restoration and modification.  Drew Brothers Customs completed the restoration and modifications in 2023, prior to their retirement, and it remains in the owner’s private collection.

The truck holds a clean Arizona title in the current owner’s name and is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The five-digit odometer reads approximately 7,099 miles; true mileage is unknown. There are no known mechanical, electrical, structural, or significant cosmetic deficiencies, consistent with a high-quality restoration.
