1962 Chevrolet Other Pickups C40 Custom

They got the formula for this vintage hauler right. Start with a classic 1962 Chevrolet C40 truck that has earned its patina. Then add in the right elements, like powerful V8, an overdrive transmission, modern upgrades, a comfy interior, and the right equipment to haul or tow anything you could want. The result is one of the coolest and useful classics around.
Do you have a business to promote or just want to make a splash at car shows? Imagine parking this vintage flatbed at your front door and/or taking up two spaces at an enthusiast event. People will marvel at this Chevy's cool patina that's been earned over the last 55+ years of service. So yes, this is a true worn-in paintjob (even the fill-in marks of the original mirrors have patina!) But this has more appeal than just it's industrial roots. You can tell by the sheetmetal that this is a solid pickup. And they spent plenty of time upgrading it with everything from LED lights to a ton of custom pinstriping. Plus, take a look at the brightwork. You not only get great vintage pieces like the front bumper, but also modern upgrades like the late-model Chevy 20-inch alloys. Plus, people will really marvel at the polished beer kegs used for fuel tanks. And the real wood flatbed not only is great for functional hauling, but there are also seats mounted back there to make this the ultimate tailgater. You'll find more thoughtful details all around this truck. For example, the rear has a step mounted in the trailer hitch. But any time you need to tow, now only do you have this modern hitch, but a full electrical hookup with trailer brake control. There's even a 5,000-lbs winch mounted back there, too!
Inside, the first thing you're going to notice is the upgraded seats from a modern Silverado truck. That means comfortable individual bolstering, a fold-down armrest, supple cloth, and even cup holders. There are other great modern upgrades like an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input and provisions for a backup camera. Plus, this was built with the driver in mind. You get a grippy Lecarra steering wheel, all the right auxiliary gauges, and a SunPro tach mounted on the steering column.
The engine bay is equal parts show and go. It's a fresh-looking Chevy 355 cubic-inch V8, and it has all the right upgrades like a large Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake and HEI ignition to add power. Plus, you have the right stout components for a true hauler like a serpentine belt system, dual batteries, and an aluminum radiator. No matter how you use this mighty V8, the upgrade to the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive is always welcomed. Plus, with a limited slip rear end, power brakes, and electrically controlled power steering, this is a great anytime hauler.
This is that perfect machine where work meets play in one great vintage package. And so when all of it is offered for such a value price, you need to hurry up before it's gone. Call today!!!
