BODY OVERVIEW:
This C10 may be an older restoration, but it was done very nicely and looks fantastic. The body is straight, and shows nicely! All exterior trim appears to be present and in good condition. Because this truck has had some miles clocked since the resto, there are some minor imperfections as one would expect, but nothing that detracts from the curb appeal. 

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
This C10 was fully repainted during the restoration, and based on pre-restoration photos it appears the color was changed from its original turquoise to the current shade of light blue. Though it isn’t a fancy metallic or flake paint job, it does appear to be a period-correct shade of blue and has an excellent gloss throughout. More importantly, based on documentation, this truck was taken apart and painted properly. Imperfections have been documented in the photos to the best of our ability. 

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black cloth interior is a great contrast to the blue paint, and although it isn’t factory correct it is tasteful and does suit the style of the truck well. There is some minor wear on the driver’s side of the bench, but this is a truck that has been driven and enjoyed since it was restored–not parked inside for looks only! There aren’t a lot of creature comforts in this C10; this thing is from an era when a truck was a truck and not a glorified minivan. Nonetheless, the gauge cluster is in great condition and an original AM radio proudly holds its place in an uncut dash. Though there are no power windows, heated seats, or cruise control, this C10 is sure to take you back to the ‘60s every time you go for a ride. 

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Though an era-correct 283ci V8 is included with the sale, receipts show the purchase of an LT block that was installed during the restoration. This is where this truck gets really exciting! Engine features include a chrome air cleaner, polished valve covers, aluminum radiator, electric fans, aluminum intake, and a 4-barrel carburetor. This certainly isn’t a 500+ horsepower sleeper build, but with the hood closed this C10 is hiding some secrets! This truck runs great and sounds awesome (dare I say rowdy?) through dual side-exit exhaust. If you have a hankering to jam some gears with your foot down on a 3-on-the-tree, this C10 will certainly deliver! 

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This C10 is perfect for the enthusiast who values an original-looking truck with a little bit of extra “oomph” under the hood. This truck is best described as a high-quality driver vehicle that’s also pretty enough to show off! Whether you’re looking for a truck to take back to a more original look, or something special that won’t break the bank, this C10 could be a great candidate!
