Classic 4x4 is proud to present this frame-off restored and modified 1970 Chevrolet K10 Short Bed.

Finished in striking Hugger Orange with Summit White accents, this K10 commands attention while staying true to its heritage. Inside, the custom fabricated and upholstered interior is finished in black leather with black and white houndstooth inserts, accented by French stitching. Modern comforts include custom seating and consoles, a custom stereo system, air conditioning, remote start, and power windows and door locks.

Power comes from a fuel-injected 5.7L Small Block Chevrolet 350ci V8 engine, paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission and a New Process 205 dual-range transfer case. Regeared 4:10 Dana 44 front axles with Warn locking hubs and a GM 12-bolt rear axle deliver legendary four-wheel-drive capability.

History

The second-generation Chevrolet Action Line pickups (19671972) are among the most iconic and collectible GM trucks ever produced, celebrated for their rugged simplicity and timeless design.

This 1970 K10 was built at the Janesville, Wisconsin Assembly Plant. It was acquired by the current owner in 2015 from Montana as a highly original driver. The owner subsequently commissioned Drew Brothers Customs to perform the comprehensive frame-off restoration and modification. Drew Brothers Customs completed the restoration and modifications in 2023, prior to their retirement, and it remains in the owners private collection.

The truck holds a clean Arizona title in the current owners name and is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The five-digit odometer reads approximately 7,099 miles; true mileage is unknown. There are no known mechanical, electrical, structural, or significant cosmetic deficiencies, consistent with a high-quality restoration.
