Up for auction is a beautifully frame off-restored 1968 Chevy C-10 factory Short Bed pickup truck. This is an extremely high-quality truck and shows attention to all the details. This truck was restored in 2016 and it has been garage kept, pampered, and meticulously maintained since then. It was a Northern California truck until about a year ago when a friend of mine in North Carolina did some trading for the truck and then eventually did some more trading and now its in my garage in Georgia. The truck is excellent in every way and it runs, drives, brakes, sounds, and looks great. My friend in North Carolina drove the truck from North Wilkesboro NC to Myrtle Beach for a car show recently and the truck won Best of Show. The truck starts right up with one turn of the key and it is dialed in, tuned up, and I wouldnt hesitate to drive it anywhere ... its a true pleasure to drive. There are no issues, and everything works including Cold AC.
Following is a recent condition report from a previous inspection:
Based on the exceptional quality of the paint, interior, and drive-line components, we are not hesitant to classify this pickup as show ready. It represents a level of restoration that is far in excess of trucks offered at the large auctions (no names mentioned) and the upgrades make it a totally reliable, comfortable, nice performing ½ ton pickup. The restoration is photo documented. The C10 is totally turn- key, has been full sorted and is ready to enjoy. The Chevy's paint rates extremely high, is free from orange peel and other noticeable defects and partial repainting since the complete re-spray. The body is extremely straight and solid and the undercarriage is dry with absolutely no rust through, damage to the frame, or suspension components. The suspension components are still "fresh and the underside of the engine, transmission, and rear end show having been rebuilt and remain clean and dry.
The body is very straight, and we have seen no signs of body panel replacement or accident damage. The body itself is free from dents and other damage and, as a mostly weekend and show truck, it remains free from parking lot dents and road rash on the front. The bumpers are straight, free from damage, and the chrome is excellent. Also, inspection of the other exterior parts of the car (emblems, grill, trim, etc.) shows them to be in absolutely beautiful condition.
The doors, hood, and trunk gaps are very good and close / lock securely. The doors do not sag, and, of course, the hinges are solid and rust free. The undersides of the hood and trunk are free from rust, dirt and grease and in excellent condition. The entire engine bay is clean and well presented. The engine has not been cleaned up for the photographs but as a result of ongoing maintenance is clean and free from excessive dirt/grease build-up.
The glass on the car is free from cracks and the rubber trim is excellent.
DRIVABILITY
The Chevy C10 drivability reflects the considerable care that the truck has received since the restoration. It starts immediately under all conditions, and runs cool, even in the 100+ degree weather in Northern California. The idle is smooth and it has been totally reliable. The Chevy has excellent power, stops and steers straight and does not pull, or wander. Upgraded disc brakes ensure that the car stops straight and sure. The parking brake works and is properly adjusted.
The transmission is free from any issues and there are no signs of slipping, noise, or shifting issues. The remainder of the cars drive-line components is equally as good. The truck does not leak fluids, is smoke free, and the engine sounds great. The car is fitted with dual exhaust giving it the perfect sound. The truck is lowered just slightly so it has a nice stance but is not slammed to the ground or modified with air bags of radical suspension changes from stock. The charging system is fully operational, and the Chevy holds a charge even after sitting for a prolonged period of time. The gauges (temperature, ammeter, & oil pressure) all display proper readings.
The climate control / heating & defrosting system is completely functional and upgraded to 134. The vents have the appearance of factory installation and the A/C blows cold, heat works.The spare is space saver mounted properly under the bed.
As you can see from the inspectors report above this is one of the nicest C-10s that you will find. It is, as he stated above, very nice to look at and admire and show
however the best part to me is the way the truck runs and drives. The overdrive transmission and the cold AC make for a nice weekend cruise here in Georgia!
