1969 GMC C-10 2500 STEPSIDE LONG BED RARE PICKUP NEWER CRATE MOTOR NO AIR RIDE

HERE IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A SWEET GEORGIA PEACH OF A GMC TRUCK! RARE ENOUGH BEING A GMC, BUT TO BE A 2500 (3/4 TON) WITH THE STEPSIDE LONG BED, THAT IS SUPER RARE!

MECHANICALLY, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF WORK TO THIS TRUCK AND IT SHOWS, AS IT RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A NEW TRUCK. WE DROVE IT OVER 50 MILES WHEN WE PICKED IT UP AND IT STARTED WITHOUT HAVING TO TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL AND IT RAN OUT VERY STRONG AND SMOOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS ANYWHERE AND I DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY CAR/TRUCK I SELL, BUT THIS ONE IS TRULY A GREAT DRIVER! IT HAS A NEW 350 CRATE MOTOR WITH 4 BARREL CARBURETORAND ELECTRONIC IGNITION THAT WERE INSTALLED IN 2003. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO REBUILT AROUND THAT TIME. THE FRONT END, BRAKES, TIRES, SUSPENSION, BATTERY, STARTER, EXHAUST (DUAL), DRIVESHAFT, RADIATOR, ALTERNATOR AND HEATER CORE HAVE ALSO RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED.AS THE TRUCK AS USED JUST TO HAUL STUFF ON THE WEEKENDS, THIS TRUCK WAS USED VERY LITTLE EACH YEAR AND WAS EVENTUALLY PARKED ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO WHEN THE OWNER GOT A NEW COMPANY TRUCK. THE MILEAGE SHOWS ABOUT 90K NOW, AND IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ORIGINAL MILEAGE.

COSMETICALLYOVERALL IT IS A VERY SOLID AND STRAIGHT!IT IS VIRTUALLY RUST FREE. THE “TYPICAL” RUST SPOTS ARE ROCK SOLID ON THIS TRUCK, LIKE THE DOOR SILLS, FLOORS AND THE RAIN GUTTERS. THERE IS A SMALL SPOT OF RUST BELOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THERE IS SOME BODY FILLER ON THE BED, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE FROM A SMALL DENT, NOT FROM RUST. IT HAD A RESPRAY YEARS AGO AND APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP HERE AND THERE ALONG THE WAY, SO IT COULD USE A GOOD PAINT JOB. THE WOOD BED ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE STRINGERS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. A LITTLE BIT WOULD REALLY GO A LONG WAY ON THIS TRUCK, AS IT IS SOLID AND ALL OF THE MECHANICALLY ITEMS HAVE BEEN REBUILT OR REPLACED.

PRODUCTION HISTORY

A new, more modern look came in 1967, along with a new nickname: "Action Line". It was with this revision of the C/K truck that General Motors began to add comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line that had previously been for work purposes alone. Updated styling features for the 1967 Chevy Pickup trucks came with new body sheet metal that helps fight rust and a pickup box made of double-walled steel. The majority of 10 and 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1967 to 1972 were built with a coil springtrailing armrear suspension, which greatly improved the ride over traditionalleaf springs. However, the leaf spring rear suspension was still available on those trucks, and standard on 30 series trucks. The front suspension on all Chevrolet trucks were independent front suspension with coil springs. GMC models came standard with leaf springs with coils springs optional; all four-wheel drive models (Chevrolet and GMC) had leaf springs on both axles. 1967 was the only year for the "small rear window" (RPO A10 offered a large rear window as a factory option[3]). The standard drivetrain came with a three-speed manual transmission and one of two engines; the 250 in3straight six or the 283cuin (4.6L) V8. The optional transmissions were the four-speed manual, the Powerglide and theTurbo-Hydramatic350 and 400. The 292 six and the 327 in3V8 were the optional engines. The 1/2 ton trucks came with a 6 x 5.5–inch bolt pattern, the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks came with an 8 x 6.5–inch bolt pattern.

The most visible change in differentiating a 1968 from a 1967 was the addition of side-marker reflectors on all fenders. Also, the small rear window cab was no longer available. The GMC grille was revised, with the letters "GMC" no longer embossed in the horizontal crossbar. Another addition was the Custom Comfort and Convenience interior package that fell between the Standard cab and CST cab options. In 1968, Chevrolet celebrated 50 years of truck manufacturing, and to commemorate, they released a 50th Anniversary package, which featured an exclusive white-gold-white paint scheme. Also in 1968, the Longhorn model debuted on 3/4 ton trucks. Featuring a 133-inch wheelbase identical to the one-ton vehicles, it added an extra 6 inches to the bed. Longhorns, interestingly, were 2wd only; no factory Longhorn 4x4 was built.

The 327 c.i. V-8 engine was enlarged in 1969 to 350 CID (stroke increased from 3.25 to 3.48) with a net horsepower rating of 195-200, depending on emissions package 255hp (190kW), 350cuin (5.7L). Along with the new engines came a new grille design for Chevrolet trucks and a more upright hood for both Chevrolet and GMC trucks. A utility variant, known as theK5 Blazer, was also introduced with a shorter wheelbase of 104 inches (2,642mm). The GMC version, known as the Jimmy, was introduced the same year. Some internal cab changes were also made, most notably the switch from a hand-operated parking brake to a foot pedal, and a more modern looking two-spoke steering wheel with plastic horn button replaced the previous year's three-spoke wheel with chrome horn button. Also new this year were upper and lowerside moldings, which added another two-tone paint option. These were standard on CST trucks, and optional in any other trim level.
