You want a vintage truck because they are cool to look at, easy to fix, and something different from what everyone else drives. The only problem is that market prices have skyrocketed lately. So this value-priced 1966 Chevrolet C10 is attractive even before you see the cool matte appearance and upgraded small block V8.First off, this matte black paint with custom pinstriping all over gives a feeling that it's more classic hot rod than a tradesman's ride. Plus, the chrome front end, bright alloys, and polished exhaust tips give you some nice shine from any angle. And this generation C10 really does deserve to be appreciated. Creased edges, flared fenders, and a hood that has a power dome appearance all these sheetmetal details make this a distinctive and desirable classic. Plus, the stepside pickups were originally built for a functional purpose, but now their appeal on the vintage market is how they offer an extra stylized touch. Another reason why they are so desirable is they still carry the real wood in the bed.The interior is well preserved and presented. It starts with a durable bench seat, heavy-duty rubber floor mats, and steel door panels that match the dash to bring the interior together. The later-model Chevy steering wheel is both grippy and gives you a nice view of the original gauge panel as well as the SunPro auxiliary readouts. And while the exhaust will likely provide your favorite soundtrack, the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo is there to make sure you always have your best tunes, too.Under the hood is what we all love to see: well-built small block power. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks like it's radiating power out of the black engine bay with its bold orange block paint as well as the shiny valve covers and Edelbrock air topper. More importantly, it has great functional upgrades like the AFCO Racing aluminum radiator. Plus, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Holley Dominator intake means this trusty V8 also gets to inhale deeply. That's why you get good power and a nice growl out of the dual exhaust. Add in a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and the C10's desirable trailing arm rear suspension, and soon it becomes obvious that this hot rod pickup is also an easy cruiser.Whether you're looking for an entry level classic or the perfect attention-grabber on a budget, this C10 can do it all. And since it's at such a great price, we know you're not the only one who sees all this potential. So don't miss out, call today!
