Vehicle Description
The world of classic 4x4s is a pretty new one, and so it's rare to
find an award-winner like this. With a well-documented full
frame-off restoration, this 1967 Chevrolet K10 is a stunner from
its numbers-matching small block V8, to its new oak in the truck
bed.
We know exactly why this truck was chosen to be a shining star.
From all the documentation we have, you can tell this 4x4 was
someone's baby. So while we all know a pickup's intended purpose is
to be our best buddy for work and play, you're looking at one of
the few that averaged a light 1,600 miles annually as it reaches
the half-century mark. But more than just great care, 1967 was the
first year for this generation of Chevy trucks. The design carried
more flair in the sheetmetal, and in early years, you had the very
modern-looking single bar body-colored grille. That's very
important here, because when you invest in an exceptional level of
burgundy, you want to show it off as much as possible. In fact,
while a 4x4 is built for toughness, this one shows its elegant side
with the deep red rolling evenly off of every panel when the
sunshine hits it. On a truck like this, only the best brightwork
will do. So in-between the mirror-like chrome bumpers is slender
angular trim, and bright 16-inch Pro Comp alloys. Plus, the new oak
wood in the bed has that final touch of sophistication that few
pickups ever achieve. It gives this truck an overall level of
presentation that lets us know exactly why it's a two-time award
winner at the Antique Automobile Club of America's Lake Erie
regional meet.
When you open the door, you instantly know there was plenty left in
the restoration budget for the interior. The gray seats with
comfortable black cloth inserts for the driver and passenger look
great, and it coordinates with the door panels and carpeting for a
nice uniform appearance. You'll slip behind the factory wheel, and
quickly you'll notice just how correct and pristine everything is.
The dash has been painted to match the exterior, and the full gauge
package is housed in an unmarked stock panel. It has all the right
factory elements - from the heat/defrost controls, right down to
the decal explaining the 4x4 locking hubs operation.
With a truck that has been so well presented this far, you'll love
how even the engine bay meets the high standards set by the
interior and exterior. The 283 cubic-inch V8 is the original to the
truck, and it was rebuilt and painted during the restoration. So,
that bold Chevy orange block looks like its radiating power as it
catches your eye in the dark engine bay. And more than just the
motor looks like it has been taken back to day one. Make sure to
look at the undercharge photos where you can see how clean
everything really is - heck, we bet the shine on the stainless dual
exhaust is better than some other's chrome! While this Chevy has
likely never seen a day in the mud since its restoration, it still
is up to the task. The three-speed manual transmission gives you
complete control of the V8; the two-speed transfer case is beefy
enough for true 4x4 duty; and the lifted suspension and Cooper
Discovery tires are ready to take on the rough stuff.
The '67 K10s are rare, and this one comes complete with a large
document file that includes the original bill of sale, warranty
card, owner's manual, restoration photos, build receipts, and
maintenance records. It even comes with the original wheels if you
want a true time capsule presentation. It's this level of detail
that makes this award-winner the one pickup that you will always
regret if you let it slip away. Call now!!
