1966 Chevrolet C10 Flatbed Truck
There's something there The automotive industry is a gap that companies have been trying to fill. Yes, they like to fill their order books and dealers with new models, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about white space, the area that exists between two models. The BMW X6 is a great example of this, as it fills the gap between a coupe and a traditional SUV. Our Pick of the Day is a dealer-listed 1966 Chevrolet C10 flatbed truck on ClassicCars.com that fills the gap between a pickup truck and a traditional van. According to a 1966 brochure, Chevrolet offered 11 Step-Vans in 21 different body sizes. But customers don't have to default to a standard pickup truck if the style or size isn't right. They could buy something in the space between the two: a panel truck. The car is painted in an attractive combination of Lemonwood Cream and Ebony Tan, drawing attention to the enclosed cargo…

Pick of the Day: 1958 Chevrolet Apache
There are two extremes Speaking of classic vehicles: On one end of the spectrum are those that have never been driven and have been stored forever in a climate-controlled garage; on the other are vehicles that have been heavily used and driven to the point of cosmetic rot, if not outright mechanical failure. Fortunately, there's a middle ground that allows classics to be unleashed without being completely destroyed. Our Pick of the Day - a 1958 Chevrolet Apache listed on ClassicCars.com by a private seller roams here. The Chevrolet Task Force truck line was introduced in 1955 and updated in 1958 with new names: Apache for light duty, Viking for medium duty, and Spartan for heavy duty. The Apache gets updates like a new grille, sheet metal, quad headlights, and interior trim. Former Chevrolet general manager Jim Perkins said the seller of the '58 Series 32 calls it a "P&A (parts and accessories) demo car." This explains its front bumper…
Pick of the Day: 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside
this Daily Picks It is a 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside pickup truck listed by an Ohio dealer on ClassicCars.com. I can't speak for any of you, but I know I get into phases when it comes to certain vehicles. Lately, I've been obsessed with vintage Chevy trucks. When I was looking at the listings for Barrett-Jackson's 2023 Scottsdale Fall Auction, I saw a beautiful blue 1972 Chevrolet C10 Stepside with the original I6 engine and transmission. Since then, I've been looking for other cool C10s on ClassicCars.com. As you can see, I found another one. This first generation C/K series pickup truck was given a new life through a frame-on restoration. As part of the process, the frame is powder coated. Surrounding hardware like the suspension and brake components were upgraded so the truck now rides on a total cost suspension and stops with the help of Wilwood power disc brakes. The exterior has been refreshed in an unusual but…
Daily Pick: 1965 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside
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…
