1965 Chevrolet C/K Truck

1965 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Right now in the market the Chevy C10 is the king of classic pickups. These trucks from the 60s, 70s and 80s are very sought after and have a following of their own. Every once in a while you come across a classic that is over the top rich with history but it is a rare occurrence. Out of all the vehicles we have sold, the odds of knowing things like its original owner, original dealership and the like is pretty slim. This 1965 C10 is a very special truck that is only being offered up for sale because the owner wants to find it a good home where it can continued to be cherished and enjoyed. It is the fleetside 1/2 ton version and was purchased brand new in 1965 by the current owners father in Enid, Oklahoma. The current owner then purchased it from him in 1973. That means the truck has lived in the South and primarily in the DFW metroplex since new. It was used as a driver back in the day but in March 2002 the transformation began. A full frame off restoration started with the intent of returning it to its original showroom condition. The process took 3 years until the nut and bolt restoration was finish. Being that it is in its original family all of the original paperwork, booklets and protect-o-plate have been preserved which is another rare site to see. The body on the truck is laser straight and rust free from top to bottom. It has been repainted in its original light Yellow and White color combination that has a beautiful slick finish. The owner has maintained the truck meticulously since the build was completed and it shows. These long beds has some great looking trim with spears that stretch the full length of the body. Between that trim is the White accent to match the roof and Chevrolet lettering on the tailgate. It also has like new roof trim, chrome bumpers, and a chrome grill. The lights work properly throughout with zero issues. The glass is all in good condition with no cracks or issues. It really is stunning in person and if you were transported back to a Chevrolet dealership in 1965 this is what you would see. In fact, more care was likely put into this labor of love then what it got from the factory. In back it is gorgeous with the bed being fully redone in beautifully stained wood with chrome runners. The truck sits on its matching color steel wheels with shining Chevrolet hubcaps, beauty wrings and Hankook thin white wall tires that are like new. Under the original hood you will find the correct numbers matching High Torque 283 motor. Everything is all painted up to look just like it did originally and it is topped off with the single snorkel air cleaner. Paired with the engine is a smooth shifting 2 speed powerglide and 12 bolt rear end. Underneath the truck every thing is super clean, solid, and painted. The only modifications you will find on the truck is the addition of a Vintage AC system for comfort and Flowmaster mufflers. The interior of the truck is all stock and nicely done in
