Building on the successful first series of C pickup, Chevrolet launched a revised version in 1967. Coil springs remained at all four corners beneath the restyled 1967 Chevy C10, but a crisp, clean pickup appeared on the outside, and in some opinions the new Chevy looked even more modern than its half-ton Ford rival, which was also updated that year. Both Stepside and Fleetside availability carried over from 1966, and revised grilles continued to represent new model-year calling cards up through 1972. **THIS TRUCK HAS THE COVETED SHORTBED WITH STEPSIDE OPTION**
The 1969 and 1970 C10 models look for all the world alike without knowledge of the various trim levels. The 1970 model saw the introduction of the Mark IV big block in 402 cid (although marketed and badged this year only as a 400).
A host of trim packages emerged during this generation, and serve as rolling proof that some truck buyers indeed preferred their pickups to play as well as work. New for 1967 was the Custom Sport Truck (CST), which saw car-like features such as a cigarette lighter, bright trim inside and out (including on the gas pedal), and plush carpeting come standard. Bucket seats were also available. **THIS TRUCK HAS A MODERN UPGRADE TO REPLACE THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WITH AN AC ADAPTER**
This 1970 truck has power steering wheels and brake drums.
**Today, this generation of Chevrolet C10's are some of the most loved collector trucks extant, and for good reason. They are drop-dead gorgeous, have timeless styling, possess good build quality, and are easily drivable in modern traffic. Furthermore production numbers were large and they were home to several of the same engines used in popular Chevy cars, meaning maintenance, restoration, and upgrades are all relatively easy endeavors.**
