1970 Chevrolet C/K Truck

1970 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Pickup For consignment, a 1970 Chevrolet C10 short bed pickup showing 6,053 miles but the true miles are unknown. If this former work truck has one job to do, its to go fast. A pro street version thats a far cry from the life it was born into and were all the beneficiaries of this spectacular build by its mere presence. But only one person will get to pilot it home! Were thinking it might be you! Note: This vehicle is sold with a Pennsylvania reconstructed branding on the title Exterior Two stage Dark Blue Metallic bathes the panels beautifully and benefits from the contrast of polished metals at every angle, beginning with the vertical grated grille, grille frame, and headlight surrounds, underscored by a straight chrome bumper with embedded fog lights. In profile, the polished side mirrors and the chrome exhaust tips stand out, as do the 15 Weld Prostar wheels. The front wheels carry standard sized tires, but the rear deep dish rims have massive 31x12.50R15s. Out back, the tail lights depict a muted red, lightened to go with the front marker lights that lack an amber lens. A high rising cowl hood ascends to capture windshield airstream, and a flat tonneau cover sheds air that gets past the cab. On top of the cab, rain gutters and a sunroof add some creature comforts as the cab spills down onto a sliding rear window. A smooth roll pan takes the place of a rear bumper bumper and allows for some visibility underneath to expose those massive meats. We could not find any glaring imperfections on the exterior of this truck. Interior Light blue door cards pop on the inner doors which are otherwise painted as the body. Racing buckets seats with racing harnesses are afforded to the driver and the brave passenger and the entire cabin is lightened by a robins egg blue dash pad and sky blue carpet, calming colors for whats bound to be a raucous ride. Meanwhile, a GT steering wheel fronts an aluminum formed instrument cluster panel housing Dolphin gauges with all the pertinent information. In the center, we find an AM/FM/CD radio and orderly vent and heat controls. A B&M shifter rises from the floor with not much around to distract or interfere with the business at hand, although a cupholder has been added between the seats. Theres also a roll cage lining the cabin, foam padded on the sides. Drivetrain An all business engine bay means easy access to all necessary components and thats what we have here with a consignor stated 396ci V8 putting out 550 horsepower, per that same consignor. It is fueled by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor over an Edelbrock intake manifold, moved to motion via a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to a Dana 60 out back. Power disc brakes are a must and are found on all four corners. Underside Just like the engine bay, the underside is unobstructed by anything that isnt critical to the mission at hand, and its almost as clean as the engine! This buttoned up underside shows no signs of surface rust or oil drips like your typical daily driver or old car, and headers run into Flowmaster mufflers before turning to the outside before the rear wheels. Suspension consists of coil springs in front and ladder bars with coilovers in back. The Strange Engineering aluminum differential cover adds a bit of muscle under the car and a frame crossbeam also serves as a driveshaft loop. Drive-Ability The Zen-like blue interior loses its effect when the key is turned and the big V8 bellows out the side. Into Drive we go, and it lurches forward like it wants to take off, but provides a surprisingly tame ride on the test loop and were even tempted to leave the radio on, but we dont want to miss the real music, the sound of the engine. Obvious power and acceleration are on hand and straight ahead tracking is on point and wide tires all around produce fine handling as well, but this is no slalom truck. We note the reverse lights dont work, nor do the wipers, and the heater blower is not blowing. All other functions needed to take this beast down the road in day or night, are working as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. More than fifty years after leaving the assembly plant in Baltimore, Maryland, this 1970 retired to the good life. Maybe it was a painters truck. Or a plumbing truck. But now its all about having fun, spending its days hanging with others, cruising open roads, and running down tracks. This is a well sorted build and a darn good looking truck to boot. Theres no replacement for displacement, they say, and this normally aspirated C10 is looking to hire a new pilot. Got your wings? Give us a call.
