1976 Chevrolet C10

This 1976 Chevrolet C10 2WD longbed pickup went through a cosmetic and mechanical overhaul in November 2020, having covered just 800 miles in the subsequent timeframe. A crate 350ci V8 from BluePrint Engines was mated to a built 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission, and custom touches were applied including 20” American Racing wheels, a lowered suspension, and a refreshed interior from TMI Products. Finished in black over a reupholstered saddle vinyl bench interior, this C10 is now offered with supporting documentation from BluePrint Engines and a clear Texas title in the seller’s name.

The Chevrolet C/K Series of full-size pickups evolved into the Rounded Line moniker in beginning in 1973, with updates to the front fascia in 1975 and small trim updates again in 1976. This C10 from that model year was manufactured in a regular-cab, longbed body style and received a fresh repaint black during the seller’s three-year ownership timeframe. The resulting finish is described as having driver-quality fitment and gloss, with good-condition brightwork for the bumpers, trim, and replacement moldings. The bed has a spray-in bedliner, and the seller notes that there is a rust area on the driver-side fender just above the molding on the bed, as illustrated in the photo carousel.

American Racing 20” Rallye-style aluminum wheels with chrome center caps are wrapped in newer 245/45 Landsail tires on all four corners. The suspension has been lowered 3” in the front and 5” in the rear.

The Silverado trim interior is fitted with replacement components from TMI Products, including a saddle vinyl bench seat with matching door panels and a replacement padded dashboard. The cab is contrasted by black carpeting and retains the original two-spoke steering wheel, a push-button radio, and factory air conditioning.

Factory instruments reside within a brushed aluminum bezel and include a 100-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and readouts for voltage, oil level, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 69k miles, although true chassis mileage is unknown.

The crate 350ci Vortec V8 from BluePrint Engines in Kearney, Nebraska has been driven 800 miles since installation and breathes through an Edelbrock air cleaner. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted, built 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and Richmond 3.73 gearing.
