1966 Chevrolet C-10

Take a look at this 1966 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside truck with a beautiful natural patina finish that only time and outdoor elements can produce. This truck was the first generation of the C10 line that would go on to be one of the most desired classic truck body styles available in the states. The C in C10 stands for 2wd models while the 10 represents light duty work. When the C10 model was introduced in 1960, Chevrolet switched to a drop-down style frame which allowed for a 7-inch lower cab and a lower center of gravity. This is known as a body-on-frame construction. An independent front suspension was also paired with a coil-sprung rear axle. In 1963, the front torsion bars were replaced with front coil springs on the 2wd models.

The owner of this C10 removed the outdated inline-6 power plant and swapped it for a potent modern 5.3 LS engine, giving new life to this classic truck. Paired with a 4-speed 4L60 automatic transmission and a floor-mount shifter, shifting gears and hitting the road is not an issue for this truck. The owner also added a Moroso aluminum radiator, a Summit Racing disc brake package up front as well as some aftermarket gauges to keep an eye on your engine temperature, oil pressure, and voltage ensuring that you're always in tune with your truck's performance.

Inside the bed of the truck, a new wood bed floor has been added with oak planks. The truck is rocking a set of satin black 17-inch American Racing Baja wheels wrapped in Phantom AP 245/65 tires, allowing rugged durability for hauling cargo or cruising the streets.

Look inside the cab and be transported to a bygone era. While the interior retains its original appeal, it does show signs of wear throughout the years as well as some rust spots located in the rocker panels and the floorboard. With a clean undercarriage and recent upgrades, including new suspension and dual exhaust, this C10 has a solid foundation that is ready for whatever direction you would like to go with the build.
