1965 Chevrolet C10 For Sale
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 stepside pairs a patina-style paint treatment with a truck that's been comprehensively rebuilt from the ground up over the past year, showing 3,792 miles. Finished in orange with a white roof, the faded, worn-in look was applied as a deliberate stylistic choice rather than left to decades of honest use, giving the truck the visual character of a well-worn original while riding on staggered 20-inch US Mags wheels underneath.
Power comes from a 454 big block fitted with an MSD HEI distributor, Holley Sniper EFI, and an electric fuel pump, giving the truck modern fuel injection reliability without losing the big-block character. Spent gases exit through Hedman headers into a Borla exhaust, while an aluminum radiator and aluminum valve covers round out a cooling and engine dress package built to keep the combination running cool and looking clean. Power reaches the ground through a TH400 automatic transmission with a 1950s-style floor shifter.
The chassis received just as much attention as the engine. Up front, PB Fab upper and lower control arms, new shock mounts, KB shocks, and a front sway bar handle the suspension geometry, while Wilwood 6-piston calipers clamp down on drilled and slotted rotors, backed by new hubs and spindles, with drum brakes retained at the rear. A Lares 1075 steering box handles steering effort. Out back, a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.73 gears rides on a triangulated 4-link with a Tinworks Fabrication trailing arm crossmember, with lowering blocks helping dial in stance. Ride height is fully adjustable thanks to an Air Lift Performance 3P management system controlling Airmaxxx 2600 air springs at all four corners.
Inside, the truck keeps its 1965 character with a wood-rimmed banjo steering wheel and a tan bench seat with a houndstooth-pattern insert, updated with a Retrosound radio for modern audio in a period-correct-looking dash. LED lighting has been added throughout for improved visibility.
Altogether, this C10 is built for someone who wants the look of a well-worn original with the underpinnings of a modern pro-touring truck, from the brakes and suspension to the fuel injection and air ride.
