Classic Car Addict is excited to present this one-owner 1968 Chevrolet C10 longbed pickup for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. This C10 has lived its entire life in Arizona and only has 28,713 on the clock. The second-generation C/K was introduced for the 1967 model year. Designated the "Action Line" generation by General Motors, the C/K largely carried over its drop-center ladder frame and its coil-sprung rear axle, but the body was redesigned from the ground up to improve its capability as a multi-purpose vehicle.
Chevrolet C10 pickups from 1967 through 1972 can be fairly credited with supercharging the modern sport truck hobby. Sure, the '53-'56 Ford F-100s and the Chevy '55-'57 pickups were early leaders in the street rod truck movement, but the '67-'72 Chevy/GMC C10s moved things to another level. From big-buck SEMA show trucks to “patina” barn finds, these trucks have proven to be super popular.
Looking inside the cab, there is new low pile black carpeting, a newly reupholstered black vinyl bench seat with matching black door panels. The dash is painted the same as the exterior with a black insert that covers the original gauge cluster. Open the glove box and it has the RPO codes and a working light. The C10 was converted to R134 and blows nice and cold. It also features an ALPINE CD/AM/FM radio that is in working order. The headliner was removed, but it has matching paint.
The C10 came from the factory finished in Cardinal Red (514) and had a full repaint done in 2010. The new paint looks more orange than red, but in excellent condition. There really isn't a scratch on this truck other than one slight one located on the lower passenger door. This paint SHINES in the sun and looks even better at night. It also has factory roof cab lights that are in working order. All exterior lights and turn signals work as well. The bedliner is new, sprayed black. And it has a big back window that has a dark tint, as well as the side windows.
A replacement GM 350 crate engine was installed as part of the refurbishment and is fitted to a Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor. It's powered by a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional features include an old school Motorola electronic ignition, updated R134 A/C, power steering, new gas tank, new sending unit, and all fresh fluids. It has heavy-duty drum brakes as well as heavy-duty suspension. She rolls on steel 15-inch rims with 31x10.50R15 tires (we do recommend new tires).
