The one on the menu today (it would seem we show at least one C10 each day, doesn’t it?) is a 1964 model year, part of the first generation of the famous bowtie half-ton. Like most others of its breed, this one, too, is no longer as it was when it rolled off production lines. Unlike most others, though, it cost about a quarter of a million dollars to make.

That’s how much we’re told was invested in this. The project is the work of a shop called All Speed Customs, a Michigan-based enterprise used to giving life to new to old cars and trucks. And for all intents and purposes, most of those greens seem to have been worth the investment.

Dressed in a color called Copper Brown and riding on massive 20-inch Detroit Steel wheels, the pickup looks fresh out of the oven. Far from being extravagant, the overall design of the body was kept close to the original, but at the same time seemingly enhanced in every way.

Created as a show truck, it proves a lot of love and care went into remaking the interior as well. There’s leather all around, in a choice of dark brown and tan, special seats, and a Dakota Digital gauge cluster for effect.

Under the hood, the builders hid a 6.0-liter crate engine of unspecified power, linked to an automatic transmission.

You can have a close look at the truck in the attached gallery, just to give you an idea of how $250k looks on a custom build. The sellers of the C10 are not confident enough the pickup would go for that much presently, so the asking price is about half, meaning $124,900.
