Auto restoration shop offers this 1965 Chevy C10 Factory Short Bed Step Side 2WD pickup. This truck sold new in Orofino Idaho (Have Protecto Plate) in 64. I went to high school in that rural population 3000 town. The original owner picked me up off the side of the road 21 years ago in this truck as I had a flat tire. I remember thinking wow this is a cool truck, aybe someday I can get one. Fast forward, months ago, was appraising cars at the Couer D'Alene Idaho car show a couple hours north of Orofino, nd saw this truck in the show. I made an offer on the truck and came home with it. The lady I bought it from was family of the original owner, o 2 owners, family. She regularly had the truck maintained over the years at a local shop to her. We spent 3 weeks going through the truck, aking upgrades to how you see it today. This is an excellent driver quality solid non-molested original truck. The trend on these C10's are low, agged, ig wheels etc. Very rare to see an original truck in good condition, y opinion value wise always better to keep them original to retain value, rends come and go. If you are looking for a nice not perfect problem free original truck that you can drive up a gravel road or in the rain this may be for you. I've driven this truck on a couple 150+ mile drives with no problems and a smile on my face. Click this link for a 7 minute YouTube video of this truck.

MECHANICAL
This is an original 6 cylinder truck, he motor has been rebuilt in 2009, ave receipt. Runs perfect, e compression and leak down tested it, erfect on all 6. Pulls very well up hills, ery easy to drive on the highway or in town. Original 3 on the tree which I think is so much fun to drive, new clutch in 09. Told 108xxx original miles, A calls them mileage exempt on title due to age. Truck has been mechanically rebuilt end to end over the last few years. I just put on brand new all season tires. I drive the truck at 60-65 mph, ruises right along, an go faster of course. Very easy truck to drive, o drama, ots of fun.
BODY
The body all appears to be original to the truck. This is a very solid body/frame. The paint was done 15 years ago, good job back then, here are some chips/scuffs/etc here and there. Very presentable, e cut/buffed it, would not do anything else to the paint. We Linexed the bed, ooks great. The wood was weathered, e sanded it down, coats of stain, eavy coats of clear to seal and protect the wood. The rails were sanded a bit then cleared with automotive clear. We were going for a nice patina look to match the truck, ame out exactly how I wanted. We re-did all the white paint, emoved the bumpers, heels, tc. a nice satin white enamel. The interior is clean. Basic CD player stereo with speaker boxes under seat (nothing was hacked up). We can undercoat the truck with a semi-gloss black product called POR-15. We wire wheel the underside, lasti-bag up the truck so no overspray on paint. Cost on that is an additional $400, did not do that as I wanted to show the integrity of the undercarriage. POR-15 is the best stuff on the market, must if you live in a salted road area. All the glass is good, eals are good.
