This 1966 Chevrolet C20 Custom is all about offering you extra - extra power from the original V8, extra duty of the rarer 3/4-ton truck, and extra stares from the quality restoration. This pickup just seems to merge the worlds of vintage and modern perfectly. For example, it started out life as a green truck, but the metallic element you see radiating from it today tells you there has been a recent investment in a quality modern application.... And a truck like this deserves the attention. Chevy did a terrific job with design on these c/k pickups with a style line built right into the sheetmetal - that curved indent starts at the taillight, flows up the body, around the front, and back to the other taillight. It's almost like this wears a lucky horseshoe. Plus, the Custom designation made it as stylish as any car of the day with plenty of great trim going down the side and around the cab doors. And of course, not even luxury cars of the '60s came with real wood, but you have a bed full of it here. The bumpers look nice as they add a cool '60s style shine. Plus, the newer 8-lug Panther wheels add to the brightwork while also reminding you of the extra duty that comes with this rarer C20 truck. Inside is more vintage charm with nice upgrades. The black bench seat is plush and comfy, which makes it nice to slip behind the newer three-spoke sports steering wheel. This gives you a clear view of the factory gauge package still in the dash. In the center is a retro-style radio that gives you the classic knob-style look, but it offers the modern convenience of a digital tuner and iPod hookup. And we bet your favorite interior upgrade is the Hurst shifter, because it's your gateway to what's under the hood. The V8 looks quite fresh, and that's because nearly $10k was spent on rebuilding it in 2016. So the bold orange block, bright valve covers, and matching air topper all look like they are radiating power from within the engine bay. But the real secret here is while people are admiring how it looks, you get to tell them it's the original 283 cubic-inch block. So you get both the pride of showmanship and the pride of originality. Plus, more than just talking about this V8, you'll love that it was built to run. There are go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, and headers that add power while feeding the rumbling H-pipe dual exhaust. Plus, you get superior control over this V8 thanks to the stout T10 four-speed manual transmission. This makes for a great driver's truck, which is exactly what it's supposed to be. After all, this c/k series is also known for its trailing arm rear suspension for a much better ride. Complete with build receipts and the owner's manual, this is the truck that is great to drive and has a story when you arrive. And since it's available right now for quite a nice price, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
