1962 Chevrolet C10

OVERVIEW

This 1962 Chevrolet C10 pickup received a restoration and a restomod treatment that included shaved door handles, BFGoodrich tires, a custom dual-exhaust system, disc brakes, Sony audio, and a wood-lined cab interior. Power comes from a recently serviced 327ci V8 mated to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt Positraction rear end. Finished in Dark Gray over a gray vinyl and cloth interior, this first-generation C/K-series C10 is now offered by the selling dealer with a clear Florida title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

This C10 stepside pickup was restored under prior ownership and was resprayed in Dark Gray. Reportedly originating in Florida, it has rust-free finishes and has been upgraded with exterior features including chrome bumpers, a reverse-tilt front clip, dual side mirrors, shaved door handles, a custom tailgate, and a dual-exhaust system. The cargo area is lined with replacement wood planks and stainless steel hardware.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Color-matched 15-inch steel wheels with smooth center caps are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cab is furnished with a gray vinyl and cloth bench seat, complemented by woodgrain trim for the door panels and a custom center console with dual cup holders. Equipment includes a Sony AM/FM/CD touchscreen audio system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and power windows.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Replacement VDO instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads just under 9K miles, indicative of the mileage added since the restoration was completed. The true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 327ci V8 has been upgraded with performance headers and received a recent oil change. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a column-shifted TH400 three-speed automatic transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from disc brakes up front and drums in the rear. Additional photos showing the underside are available in the carousel to the right.
