This 1965 Chevrolet C10 stepside pickup was rebuilt and modified between 2015 and 2017, including the installation of a Roadster Shop chassis that incorporates boxed frame rails, power steering, AFCO coilovers, and Wilwood disc brakes. Riding on 20″ and 22″ polished Schott wheels, the truck is powered by an Oldsmobile 350ci V8 equipped with FiTech fuel injection and linked with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. The body was refinished in metallic burgundy, and custom touches include a front-hinged hood, recessed headlamps, molded taillights, and an oak wood bed floor. Inside, the cabin houses a bolstered bench seat that was re-trimmed in black and tan leather along with power windows, a Pioneer stereo, air conditioning, a Flaming River shifter, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, and Dakota Digital gauges. Following completion of the build, the truck was a finalist in the 2019 Goodguys Truck of the Year Late category. This C10 is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with a Pennsylvania title.
