1965 Chevy C10 Long Wheel Base (LWB)
1965 Chevrolet C-10
Recently completed, 1965 Chevy C10 Long Bed (LWB) pick up truck. Truck is from Arkansas. Body was removed from the frame, sandblasted, and C notched in the rear. All control arms and suspension components were removed, coated, and serviced with new style polyurethane bushings. A 4 corner air ride setup with manual valves, 5 gallon air tank, and Viair compressor was installed under the bed. The brakes were updated to a modern power disk/drum setup and have drop spindles in the front. A new 355cc small block with a new 700R4 transmission (4 Speed Automatic) was placed in the frame with a custom 2 piece driveshaft to make it a completely new truck from the body down. Newer style rally wheels were repainted and wrapped in 245/60/16 Cooper Cobra Tires to complete the look of the chassis.
Body was then reinstalled with all new bushings and hardware throughout. The inner and outer rockers, parts of the floor and fender bottoms were then repaired and repainted to match the 50+ year old patina. The inside of the cab features sound deadening underneath brand new carpet, along with a recovered seat. New door seals, door sills, vent and window seals/felt, along with the window and lock mechanisms were completely rebuilt so that the doors function with ease. The cab features a AireJax manual air valve, Dakota Digital gauges and sending units, and a switch panel for your all the trucks necessary functions, including a Line Lock. A new Pioneer radio and 3 way speakers finishes off the cab and hooks up to any bluetooth device with ease. A column from a 68 truck was used, with new turn signal controls and a custom painted steering wheel (Roth Rattsberry). The floor in the bed is stained in light cherry with the original wheel tubs and bed strips painted white. The underside is coated for protection against water and corrosion and every single piece of hardware was replaced. To complete the rear of the truck a roll pan was installed and paint matched to the patina of the truck.
There is nothing on this truck that doesn't work as intended and I wouldn't hesitate to drive this anywhere in the country. The overdrive transmission and air ride suspension make this a great truck for power tour, or traveling to any show that you would want to go to. There are only roughly 500 miles on the build and it ready for much more with a new owner.
