Just something about A lowered, single-cab, short-bed pickup truck. Correction: A few things. Even though it’s not a behemoth with a double-digit lift, huge wheels, and earth-ripping tires, it still has a presence. If it were modified with a generous budget it would have go match that exhibit. Our latest Daily Pick, this LS3-powered 1965 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside listed on ClassicCars.com, has both.
In 1965, the Chevrolet C10 was offered with a variety of engines, including a 230ci inline-six and a 283ci V8 with 145 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque (both net). Of course, it would be nice if this truck still had the original (and slightly upgraded) engine, but whoever replaces it has opted for a worthy successor: an LS3 6.2-liter with polished parts V8 engine. If you look around the engine bay, you’ll see other notable components such as the power steering fluid reservoir, body-color brake booster, and dual-circuit master cylinder (for some slow to control that go). Power is sent to the rear end through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission.
Chevrolet’s 1965 C/K Series brochure showed a variety of red, blue and even yellow trucks. The guys who modified this C1434 (aka Fleetside, with a 115-inch wheelbase and 6.5-foot bed length) went a different route, choosing a nice olive green metallic color and then sitting the truck on a set of chrome wheels.
The rich green color around the bed’s smooth wooden boards looks even more beautiful. It’s also the perfect complement to the custom beige leather interior, which features a tilt steering column, billet levers, an aftermarket steering wheel, modern gauges, and what appears to be a touchscreen head unit.
