In the 1960s, the C-10 was a two-wheel drive, half-ton pickup truck sold by Chevrolet. Though several generations were produced, the concept was in place from 1960 to 2002. The seller has a patina-laden 1968 C-10 with a slightly modified 350 cubic-inch crate V8 that has only 9,000 miles. The truck runs well enough and is rust-free, but the interior isn’t featured in any of the seller’s photos. Located in Plano, Texas, this long-bed workhorse is available here on eBay, where the reserve is unmet at $4,050.
These trucks were a part of the long-running C/K Series where “C” stood for 2WD and “K” for 4WD. As was typical, they found themselves in second place to the Ford F-Series in the sales game, leaving third to the Dodge D Series. The seller of this example provides a bit of history. From 1968 to 1978, it lived in Southern California, then a long stretch to 2021 in Arizona, and finally North Texas. These environments have enabled the pickup to stay rust-free, and you’re welcome to come see it with a magnet.
We’re told this truck is a C-10 Camper Special, which was a long-bed capable of carrying a bolt-on travel unit. We don’t know what engine this truck had when it left the factory, but it has a 210 hp, 350 V8 now with a 4-barrel carburetor. A “3-on-the-tree” manual transmission is onboard, and the clutch has been rebuilt, so the Chevy is a solid runner. However, the carb could probably stand a rebuild or a thorough cleaning.
Some of the electricals need to be hooked up (the horn and hazard lights, for example). One of the door handles is acting up, and it will only open from the inside. Besides what we see in the limited photos, a set of 6-log wheels will be included along with a set of gauges. There is no power assist to anything, so you’ll need to flex your muscles when it comes to steering or braking.
