Evolve Motors is pleased to present this custom C-10 pickup!
This C10 series of pickup trucks is one of the most iconic lines of trucks ever produced, by any manufacturer. Chevy built these rugged trucks from the early 60’s up until the early 2000’s where the C-badge adorned trucks of all shapes and sizes. As the classic truck market tends to be on it’s biggest upswing in the past 2 decades, we’re starting to see more and more of these cool old trucks pop up. Every once in awhile you see one that just catches your eye. A truck that makes you look twice. We couldn’t help but snag up this sweet 72 when the owner offered it up to us. Now as any 40 year old pickup truck, this one’s not perfect. However, one walk around this truck and you can see that the previous owner definitely spent some time (and money) getting it into the condition you see today. Let’s take a walk around and get to know your new C10 a little better, shall we?
The Exterior
I know what you’re thinking… From first glance this thing looks like a show-stopping street sweeper. We are here to tell you she looks great, but she’s not perfect. Anybody that is well versed in paint and body will tell you this truck has a fair amount of filler in her. You can see some obvious places near the front marker lights that have been “frenched” into the body, as well as some noticeable spots along the top of the cab near the rear cargo light. Please, we always urge you to take a good look through all the pictures, as we try to point out some of the flaws. I know it sounds crazy, but this truck actually shows up “too nice” in the pictures, and we want folks to know that we have it priced for the condition and quality that it is. If this truck was done A-1 perfectly, we’d be asking 3 times the money for it. Yes, I know, it’s hard to believe; a car guy that will actually tell you what it is instead of sell you on what it’s not?! Crazy, right? We’ve got a reputation of being the honest car guys, and we’re here to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. The paint is OK, but there are some noticeable blemishes here and there. On the passenger side front fender, near the grill, you’ll see a small blemish where it looks as if something sat in the paint prior to it being clear coated. It looks like dirt that you can’t wipe off. Along the passenger bed-side, at the very top, you’ll see a small “swirl” of a bluish-greenish paint, which also made it’s way under the clear coat. Note the small blemish right at the very front of the driver’s front wheel well. There’s also a small bubble in the paint on the passenger side door, and a fair amount of “orange-peel” throughout the hood and sides. Again, we’re not trying to “un-sell” the truck here, we just want folks to know what they’re getting when they get it. The truck still looks phenomenal, and would make a great driver-quality truck that you wouldn’t be afraid of getting caught out in the rain with, or to take on a Saturday trip to load up some lumber at Menards. She’s still a pickup truck… just one that gets attention at every stop light and street corner in the country! The bed is in great shape, and looks to be coated with a “Line-X” type bed-liner. The chrome throughout the truck is in great shape, all the way down to the brand new 20” chrome “Ridler” wheels, which are wrapped by a brand new set of 285/50R Nexen tires. Whoever frenched the rear bumper and eliminated the front did a great job, and it really sets the lines off on this truck from a side profile. All in all this is a good solid truck with some OK body work and an OK paint job. Not perfect, but not the worst we’ve seen by far either.
The Interior
I like that he kept it very basic with the interior. This truck wasn’t loaded with bells and whistles when it was new, and keeping it basic keeps it clean. I will say, whoever did the stitching in the seats, door panels, and headliner did an exceptional job, as the interior is definitely the shining star of this show. With embossed “bow-tie” emblems in the center of the bench seat and on each B-pillar, this truck was done tastefully (aside from the “Hulk” paint job). He did keep the bright green flowing into and down the dash, as well as inside the doors and roof. New black carpet covers the floors, and I think the black really tones down the green inside. The aftermarket “Grant” steering wheel gives it just another custom touch. Other than that, the rest of the interior is pretty much bone stock, aside from an aftermarket Sony CD player. The best part about this nice little runner is that both the heat and the AC work great! I can say with certainty, you won’t be disappointed with the interior of this custom C10.
Under the Hood
When we pop the hood, we’re met with what looks to be the stock V-8 that the truck was built with. It fires right up with out an issue, and has a nice little rumble to it, thanks to the straight pipe exhaust with mild mufflers. It also looks like the previous owner went ahead and installed an Edelbrock carburetor and air filter on the stock intake manifold, adding a couple little ponies where possible. The truck shifts nice and smooth, although there is a bit of a “blind-spot” between R-N-&D. It’s pretty common in these older pickups to have the linkage become a little sloppy, and we’ll try to adjust that here the best we can. Once out on the street the truck handles well, with good throttle response, and good brake response. These trucks were never known for their sound-proofing or sound deadening materials in the cab, so you do hear a fair amount of road noise as well as that throaty exhaust rumbling away under your feet. The engine bay has been kept very clean, and looks as if it were painted black during the custom green on the rest of the truck. The plugs and wires appear to be newer, as well as a few of the other hoses and belts, etc. While we’re scoping out the engine bay, lets have a quick peek under the truck. The underside looks (almost) as clean as the top side. We weren’t told if this was a complete frame-off job, but whoever did it, did a good job of making sure the underside got it’s fair share of attention. It looks to have some newer bushings, as well as other suspension components. I’m sure most of it was changed as the truck does have a about a 2”-3” static drop, which doesn’t really affect the ride quality at all. The frame rails are a solid black, as well as the rest of the underbody. In fact, the only thing that’s not coated in black, looks to be the newer exhaust setup.
Final Assessment
Our final assessment of this old C10 is much like our first impression. The truck is off the charts with it’s wild lime green candy paint. Sure it’s not the best quality paint job, but if you’re looking for a truck that you can still use as a truck, that doesn’t look like every other truck out there, here you go. The interior is right, the underside is right, the mechanicals all check out well. If you can get past the few minor blemishes to the exterior of this truck, you’ll have yourself one bad ass long bed Chevy, with plenty of life left in her to do whatever it is you want to with her. Call Evolve Motors today to answer any questions, get all the details, or to make an offer. I can assure you, this truck won’t sit in our showroom long.
