1966 Chevrolet C10 for sale in Charlotte, North Carolina

$14,995

Vintage trucks are extremely popular right now, and if this 1966 Chevrolet C10 is any indication, there's a bright future in old haulers. From the bright red paint to the fresh crate motor under the hood, this cool pickup neatly straddles the line between custom and restored original. 1966 was the last year for the Fleetside pickups introduced in 1960, which offered lower rooflines and a swept-back cab that offered industry-leading space and comfort. Finished in bright red, this truck is a movie star. The Fleetside offered dramatic styling with lots of swoops and curves, as well as brilliant use of trim, all of which remain intact on this hauler. Other styling details include the wing-like lip at the back of the cab, which probably has no real function but looks really cool. Paint and bodywork were done to a good standard, and this truck will be right at home both at local shows and the local lumber yard on a Saturday afternoon. These were well-made rugged machines from new, so it shouldn't be surprising to find one this nice today, and very little bodywork seems to have been required to get it ready for paint. All the original trim remains, from the massive front bumper and delicate egg crate grille, to the cool cast trim piece behind the cab, to the polished stainless along the sides that is strongly reminiscent of the Impala SS trim from just a few years earlier. But if you need it to work, it's ready, with a thick rubber bed mat and sprayed-on bedliner on the sides and tailgate. Trucks were austere machines when they were new, but this one has had a full luxury upgrade during the build. The original bench was recovered in black and red vinyl, tying in perfectly with the matching headliner, red dash and black carpets. Padded dashes and door panels hadn't yet made it to the truck lines, so they've been finished to match the body. The original gauges are a very cool setup with a single face that certainly looks restored. A/C has been skillfully added with vents under the dash and neatly integrated controls. A modern head unit manages a Sony CD changer behind the seat. When the truck was restored five years ago, a 350 cubic inch crate motor was nestled between the front fenders. As a truck, function was chosen over style, and there's no shame in that. It runs beautifully, and all the accessories were upgraded, including the alternator, power steering, power brakes, and the aftermarket A/C system. It starts easily with a great V8 rumble from the dual exhaust system, and with a 3-speed automatic, it's easy to drive. The solid, rust-free chassis appears to be stock, including the suspension and brakes, but the rolling stock was upgraded to color-matched Rallys wearing 255/70/15 Uniroyal radials. This is a great truck that can work all day and still clean up nicely for a night out on the town. Call today!
