If you're a fan of stock-appearing classic trucks, this 1965 Chevrolet C10 short bed might be exactly what you're looking for. The engine block is believed to be original, with a few minor upgrades to give it a little extra punch. While the paint may not be the original factory coating, Pure White was indeed the original color for this Chevy. Chrome bumpers front and rear, side-exit exhaust, manually controlled spotlights on both the driver and passenger sides, and painted lettering on the tailgate all help capture the classic era in which this truck was built.
Inside, the black-and-white interior complements and matches the exterior perfectly. The door jambs and weather stripping are clean, while a custom GT steering wheel and B&M shifter handle add a sporty touch. The dashboard retains its original configuration, including the fan controls, radio and era-correct gauges for fuel, generator, and temperature, along with a large speedometer. The finished wooden slats in the bed are secured with polished aluminum strips for that timeless vintage look.
Under the hood sits a 283-cubic-inch V8 proudly displaying lots of Chevy Orange. Topping it off is a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The exhaust leaves through a single pipe before splitting into duals that run through Glasspack mufflers and pokes out on each side just ahead of the rear tires. Power is sent through a four-speed transmission to a 12-bolt rear end with 4.10 gears. Coil springs with shocks front and rear keep the ride smooth, while 15-inch rims wrapped in 255/60R15 Cooper tires provide grip and stability.
