1965 Chevrolet C10 Keeps It Simple, Looks Better Than Most Customs

The C10 is part of the famous Chevrolet line of pickups known as the C/K. Released in 1959, the family managed to soldier on well until the early 2000s, burning through four generations in the process and more variants than we care count.

Generations one and two remain, for a variety of reasons, the preferred dish of the custom industry. Most of the garages going for one of these choose rather extreme paths to create something else entirely out of these trucks.

That’s not the case with the two-wheel-drive 1965 example we have here. It was the subject of restoration work performed not long ago by an unknown shop and now shines in its mostly stock configuration as it awaits a new buyer on Shelton Classics.

The truck is a blue over black affair, lacking the flamboyant, custom body parts most of its siblings get upon exiting the doors of more or less nondescript garages. The bed comes in wood, while the interior shows the classic C10 arrangement, only adapted in terms of colors and materials to modern-day requirements.

The truck is powered by a probably stock 350ci (5.7-liter) topped by a four-barrel carburetor and linked to a 3-speed transmission. The seller does not provide the performance specs, but it would be a safe bet to assume no upgrades in terms of power output capabilities have been made.

The odometer on this particular C10 reads 24,400 miles (39,000 km), but there’s no mention of whether this is the actual total mileage of the truck. The C10 comes with a price sticker that reads $43,995.
