For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet C/K 10 in Bradington, Florida

1966 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside Short Bed �€" Pro-Touring Custom Build With Less Than 100 Miles Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Chevrolet C-10 sits at the peak of what collectors call the 'Action Line' generation �€" the redesigned second-gen trucks that Chevrolet introduced for 1960 and refined through 1966 before the next major body change arrived in 1967. The '66 model year is widely regarded as the most refined expression of that body style. The hood was lowered and restyled for 1964, and by 1966 Chevrolet had dialed in the details: cleaner trim lines, better interior options, and the squared-off Fleetside bed that gave these trucks a more proportional, finished look compared to the stepside. The big rear window �€" a factory option on 1966 C-10s �€" is one of those details that collectors specifically seek out, and this truck has it. This particular 1966 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside is not a driver-quality truck being cleaned up for resale. It is a ground-up custom build assembled with a clear parts list and a defined direction: modern drivability in a first-rate 1960s body. The builder sourced components from recognized performance suppliers �€" TCI, Edelbrock, Holley, CPP, Flowmaster, LMC Truck �€" and the result is a truck that drives the way these old Chevys always looked like they should. With fewer than 100 miles on the completed build, this 1966 Chevrolet C-10 has essentially never been driven.

A 383 stroker uses a 350 small block block bored 0.030 over and combined with a crankshaft from a 400 small block, bringing total displacement to 383 cubic inches. It is one of the most proven combinations in the Chevrolet small block world �€" enough torque to move a truck like this decisively off the line, and well within the reliable power band for street use. The Edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley performance carburetor are a pairing that has been refined over decades of street and strip use, and both are well-supported in the aftermarket if service is ever needed. The TCI automatic transmission handles power delivery, and the combination of that gearbox with rack-and-pinion steering from Classic Performance Products addresses the two biggest complaints about first-gen and second-gen C-10 driving dynamics: the vague, slow recirculating ball steering and the tendency of original three-speed automatics to feel sluggish at highway speeds. The CPP front disc brake conversion with 5-lug hubs brings the stopping power in line with the engine output �€" a critical upgrade that original drum brakes simply cannot match at this power level. Shorty headers feed into Flowmaster mufflers through a true dual exhaust, which exits cleanly under the rear bumper as visible in the undercarriage photos. The aluminum radiator with electric fan keeps temperatures in check regardless of traffic conditions, and the Optima Red Top battery provides reliable cranking power. The underside of this truck shows a clean, tight build throughout. Interior Th
