Description

1969 Chevy C10 Stepside – Building on the successful first series of C/K pickup, Chevrolet launched a revised version in 1967. Coil springs remained at all four corners beneath the restyled 1967 Chevy C10, but a crisp, clean pickup appeared on the outside, and in some opinions the new Chevy looked even more modern than its half-ton Ford rival, which was also updated that year. Both Stepside and Fleetside availability carried over from 1966, and revised grilles continued to represent new model-year calling cards up through 1972. The 1967 and 1968 model years are each unique for a few reasons. The 1967 C/K trucks had a small rear window and the cleaner look of no side marker lights, while the 1968 C/K pickups continued to use the grille integrated with the front fascia yet with the minimally visually intrusive side marker lights and a large back window. The 1969 and 1970 C10 and K10 models look for all the world alike without knowledge of the various trim levels. More importantly, though, is that the 1969 model year was the first to feature the ubiquitous 350-cid Chevy small-block V-8 (an option), replacing the previous year’s superb 327.

If you can appreciate the importance of original paint on a 55 year old vehicle, you can appreciate locating an original C10 like this. No guessing at what the previous owners of a truck have done to the body over the years. While the exterior has remained untouched, the interior and drivetrain have seen some impressive recent upgrades. Within the last 1k miles, the interior has been nicely restored. The motor has been upgraded to a 383 Stroker putting out 425 horsepower. The previous owner wanted a C10 that he could really enjoy so upgraded brakes, custom exhaust, new a-arms and shocks, and A/C where all “must have” items on his build list. A complete list of features includes; 383 Stroker V8, Aluminum Radiator, Hooker Headers, Flowmaster Exhaust, Auto, RWD, 12-bolt Rear End, Vintage Air/Heat, Chrome Grill/Mirrors/ Ft. Bumper, Rubber Floormats, 4 Wheel Disc Brakes, Power Steering (new), Factory AM Radio, Tilt Steering (new column), Tinted Glass, Teak Wood Wheel, Wood Bed, 17″ A/R Torque Thrust Wheels, and New BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Tires! This C10 offers just the right mix of vintage and modern to make “owning this classic truck” a priority on your bucket list!
