For Sale: 1963 Chevrolet C10 in Big Pine, California

This 1963 Chevrolet C10 short bed step side has spent its entire life in Inyo County’s high desert climate, preserving it from rust and harsh weather. It has undergone a complete off-frame restoration and is in excellent condition.

The truck was professionally refinished at 395 Paint and Body Shop, including full primer and 4–5 coats of high-quality exterior paint. The frame and components were refinished, and nearly every part has been replaced or upgraded.

This restoration was completed by a lifelong Chevy enthusiast who has successfully restored four prior truck projects. The meticulous approach insured that every aspect of the build was done with great care and passion for classic Chevy trucks is evident in every inch of the finished product.
