Few classic pickups command attention quite like a custom-built 1965 Chevrolet C20 Step Side, and this example blends vintage styling with modern drivability. Showing just 746 miles on the odometer since its build, this truck has been extensively upgraded with a host of mechanical improvements, including a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, power steering conversion, and front power disc brakes for a far more enjoyable driving experience than a factory-original truck. Finished in a striking custom purple paint scheme over a reupholstered black interior, this C20 offers classic American pickup character with thoughtful upgrades that make it equally at home at local cruise nights or weekend drives.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1965 Chevrolet C20 Custom Step Side 3/4 Bed is finished in a vibrant custom purple paint job that highlights the timeless curves of Chevrolet’s iconic mid-1960s pickup design. The desirable step side bed, chrome brightwork, aftermarket wheels, and custom stance give the truck a distinctive presence, while extensive mechanical upgrades—including a power steering conversion, front power disc brake conversion, custom exhaust fabrication, aftermarket exhaust manifold, upgraded front shocks, and numerous drivetrain improvements—ensure it performs as well as it looks. The interior of this 1965 Chevrolet C20 Custom Step Side 3/4 Bed has been reupholstered in black and tastefully updated with features that enhance both comfort and functionality. A Grant steering wheel complements the classic cabin, while aftermarket gauges provide improved engine monitoring. An aftermarket audio head unit adds modern entertainment without detracting from the truck’s vintage appeal, creating a comfortable environment that blends classic styling with practical upgrades.
Engine
Power comes from a Ford Windsor V8 topped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, delivering classic V8 performance with a unique cross-brand twist. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, converted from the truck’s original manual gearbox, and equipped with an aftermarket torque converter, aftermarket flexplate, custom transmission crossmember, and custom-built driveshaft. Complementing the upgraded drivetrain are a power steering conversion, front power disc brakes, aftermarket brake lines, an aftermarket starter system, Interstate MTP24 battery, and numerous additional mechanical improvements that enhance reliability, drivability, and everyday usability. Together, these upgrades transform this classic C20 into a distinctive cruiser that combines vintage pickup styling with the convenience and confidence of modern mechanicals.
