350-Powered 1965 Chevrolet C10

OVERVIEW

This 1965 Chevrolet C10 was converted from a stepside into a fleetside short-bed truck and put through a reportedly $115,000+ frame-off restoration and series of updates. It is powered by an upgraded, rebuilt 350ci V8 engine backed by a 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Features include power front disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, buckets seats, a digital AM/FM stereo, new BFGoodrich tires, a wood bed floor, and a relocated fuel tank. Finished in Pine Forest Green with a Pearl White top over a tan leather interior, this garage-kept C10 comes with receipts, invoices, restoration documentation, an uninstalled emergency brake part, the removed original bench seat, headrests, and a clear Louisiana title in the seller's name.
