1970 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside – Built 454 Big Block
This 1970 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside is a solid, mechanically sound classic pickup with the unmistakable character of Chevrolet’s legendary C/K generation—and a built 454ci big-block V8 providing plenty of muscle under the hood.
Finished in green, this C-10 has the desirable Stepside bed and presents as a great driver with serious performance upgrades. Mechanically, the truck is reported to be strong and sound. The exterior paint does show its age, with clear-coat flaking in several areas, so the paint would benefit from some TLC. For someone looking for a truck to drive and enjoy now while improving cosmetically over time, this C-10 offers an excellent foundation.
Built 454 Big-Block V8
The heart of this truck is its extensively built 454ci Chevrolet V8, featuring a long list of performance components and internal upgrades:
The combination of the big-block displacement, performance cam, 10:1 pistons, high-rise intake, 750 Holley, headers, and Flowmaster exhaust gives this C-10 the type of traditional American V8 setup enthusiasts look for in a classic street truck.
Drivetrain & Mechanical
Power is delivered through a GM Positraction rear end with a 3.33 gear ratio, providing a good combination of street drivability and performance. The truck retains drum brakes and is described as mechanically sound and a solid-running example.
The fuel system has also received attention and includes a new galvanized fuel tank, an important upgrade for a vintage truck of this age.
Condition
This is not being represented as a freshly restored show truck. Instead, it is an honest, solid classic C-10 with a substantial amount of performance work already completed. The primary area needing attention is the exterior finish. The green paint has clear-coat deterioration and flaking, and a future owner may elect to address the paint depending on the level of finish desired.
What makes this truck particularly appealing is what sits beneath that finish: a built 454 big block, upgraded ignition and cooling systems, Holley/Edelbrock induction, headers, Flowmaster exhaust, Positraction rear end, and a new fuel tank.
For the enthusiast who values mechanical substance over perfect cosmetics, this 1970 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside offers a great opportunity to own a classic Chevrolet pickup with old-school big-block power and plenty of potential. 336-736-8855 Carolina Classic Cars of Asheboro, Nc
