In the Seventies, trucks like this 1971 Chevrolet C10 plied back and forth across America’s roads, carrying cargo and supplies for countless small businesses and entrepreneurs. Essentially, these trucks were a significant part of the backbone of American commerce, in urban as well as rural areas. They were built tough and utilitarian, but had reasonable comfort to allow their owners to carry their families within the passenger cab as and when needed. This particular truck comes from the second generation of the C/K Series which ran between 1967 and 1972. IT’s got just 1,237 miles on it after some refreshment work, and is available in Spring, Texas. That makes it a fine classic truck to own and drive if you’re inclined towards such vehicles.
The Chevrolet C/K Series is the forerunner of today’s Silverado. In fact, Silverado was initially a trim level for later C/K generations becoming a stand-alone nameplate in Chevy’s hierarchy. The first C/K Series came in 1960 and ran for six years. That’s where this 1963 Chevrolet C10 Restomod comes from, but as the title and photos indicate, this truck isn’t stock anymore. Nope, this 45,000-mile workhorse from Corpus Christi has received a host of upgrades, enhancements and modifications that turn it into a very suitably modern-day cruiser for those who don’t wish to drive around in an electron-powered washing machine.
