Garage Kept Motors is excited to offer for sale this 1965 GMC C10 Stepside Pick-up Truck. This truck was a treated to a resto-mod restoration about 3000 miles ago and while it is starting to showing some light wear and tear here and there the restoration has held up well. The subtle modifications not only add some tasteful refinements to the already classic styling of the mid-60's Chevrolet C-10 and the mechanical upgrades significantly improve the performance and handling of this gorgeous pick-up.
This body was repainted with a burgundy metallic paint job, this truck has been driven so there are few minor chips and swirl scratches in the paint however it really displays well with a nice shine. The finish features a custom pinstripe that accents the body lines, and the custom rear fender gas cap door subtly hints of the relocated gas tank from inside the cab to under the bed. The chrome bumpers and related stainless trim has been replaced with new or re-chromed items and all the lighting lens and bezels are new as well. During the restoration process all new window rubber gaskets and weatherstrips were installed. The bed floor had new wood installed with polished stainless strips and the bed features a Brothers snapping tonneau cover.
Inside the interior features custom carpeted flooring with insulation/sound deadener, including the kick panels, firewall and rear cab wall. The stock seat has been reupholstered using a cream and oxblood vinyl insert that sets the tone artfully for the vintage vibe of this interior. A Grant wood rimmed vintage wheel sits atop an Ididt tilt steering column with billet column shifter. The engine vitals are monitored by a set of Shark gauges mounted in a custom aluminum dash milled with an engine turned adornment. The windows have been upgraded to a custom power kit and a Pioneer Super Tuner AM/FM CD player with AUX input has been mounted under the dashboard and fills the cabin with your favorite tunes through a set of Boston Acoustic Speakers. The entire truck has had the wiring system upgraded with a new Painless wiring kit.
Under the hood is clean and well detailed and ready to hit the car local show circuit! The Chevrolet small block V8 has been bored and stroked to 383cid and is painted to match the body color. This high performance set up is topped with an Edelbrock Performer carburetor with electric choke and aluminum intake that flows into a set of vintage Chevrolet “Camel” back high performance heads. The fuel mixture is lit up by a MSD electronic ignition system with an Accel Super coil and a set of 8mm spark plug wires. The burned combustion mixture is expelled through a set Hedman FloTech Headers into a dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. A “little show” is added to this “go package” by a chrome open element K&N air cleaner, and other chrome accoutrements including valve covers, timing cover, coolant hose covers, overflow tank and water pump. This hot set up remains cool thanks to a Harrison copper/brass four radiator with fan shroud and heavy-duty cooling fan.
Underneath the truck frame was completely rebuilt using a CPP lowering kit, with new gas shocks and front lowering springs (1' drop) 2” drop front spindles and power front disc brake kit with dual master cylinder. The fuel and brake lines have all been replaced as well. The front suspension and steering components are new including a new power steering gearbox which has been installed. Power is transferred through a GM Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic that has been upgraded with a B&M Shifter kit to tighten up the shifts. This combination rolls on a set of chrome 20” 6 spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Nitto low profile directional tires.
This truck really checks all the boxes for a great truck, the color combination is right on and the California rake to the stance gets the message across this truck is a high-performance hauler. The engine has plenty of power and sounds amazing through the exhaust and the suspension handles and brakes more like a sports car then a work truck. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
