This 1965 Chevrolet C10 is all about the second glance. After all you're first thought might be it looks like a nice vintage pickup, but you've never see a white so bright on anything from the '60s, and the growl from the performance big block is the kind that you usually only hear from muscle cars.Speaking of second glances, those who look twice will always complement you on the paint. There was a lot invested in applying a modern clearcoat white so that the light rolls off this stepside body with true flair. But what you're going to love the best is in the details. The top of the cab, grille, and bumpers have all been painted metallic silver. It gives this pickup a subtle two tone that people who really take the time to admire this one will be rewarded with its metallic secret. Also, when it comes to distinguished colors, the new blond wood lining the truck bed is a great standout for what's usually an industrial feature. And since this truck is all about the details, the gaps are nice and panels are straight so this cool cruiser always puts its best face forward.Inside the white with silver streak theme continues as the door panels have the nice metallic treatment against the smooth, modern white. The effect is a uniform build that tells you someone put some thought and care into the pickup's creation. This one never loses its vintage truck spirit. So much of the factory equipment remains, but upon second glance, you'll see nice upgrades in everywhere from the new seat cover to the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux hookup for the most modern music players. And all the auxiliary gauges added is also a clear indication that there is something special in the engine bay even before you twist the key and hear the roar.Lift the hood, and see an engine bay filled with big block power. If that Chevy orange looks like its radiating power out of the black painted engine bay, you'd be right. That's because this 396 cubic-inch motor has been rebuilt about a year ago for pure performance. This includes a bored .30 over, Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers that feed a new rumbling dual exhaust. This enhanced V8 has traveled only about 200 miles since built, and that's not the only investment in great driving hardware. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission has a B&M 2400 RPM stall to keep you in the optimal powerband. Plus, the there's new axles that also have a five lug conversion so they can hold those shining Boyds wheels. And everything feels great on the road thanks to smooth power steering, new front disc brakes, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension. You're first impression is that this is a lot of vintage truck for the money, but as you look closer it gets even better. That's why you know this deal will be gone soon. Call today!!!
