A 1968 Chevrolet C10 offered at this affordable price already seems attractive. But when you realize this one has everything from the utility of a long bed to the growling power of a big block V8, you soon see one irresistible total package. The look of Chevys C10 from this era is absolutely classic. It has a bit of flair to coincide with the muscle car era, and the red paint highlights that nicely. This is a... later application, and it has been enjoyed, so no one will accuse this red devil of being a trailer queen (after all, it tows the trailers... it doesn't go on them!) Plus, this has the right added appeal with the lowered stance, modern sport mirrors, and bright Mickey Thompson wheels. It's a long bed pickup, and so there's room for more chores and toy in the real wood truck bed. In fact, that trailer hitch on the back should have you thinking about even larger toys, too. And this one has the motor to handle it all... but more on that in a moment. The black wood of the bed makes for a nice introduction to the red and black interior. It's easy to get comfortable with the classic steering wheel that gives you a full view of the gauges - including the handy tach in the center. This has the right cruising features you want like an AM/FM/cassette radio for upgraded driving tunes, and a sliding rear window gives you the perfect old-school truck breeze. Plus, with the windows open, you get to hear this one growl even louder. Under the hood is serious big block power. After all, the Chevy's 396 cubic-inch V8 is a legend all on its own. And this one is fun to show off with the flame-etched valve covers and satin black air topper matching the inner fenders. But what you really want to know is that this mighty motor inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with authority as headers feed the Magnaflow mufflers on their way to the side exhaust. This is fortified with the right components like a stout 12-bolt rear end and Chevy's strong TH400 three-speed transmission. But the automatic also shifts smoothly. So it combines with the power steering, power brakes, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension to deliver a comfortable driving experience. Complete with owner's manual, this is the classic truck that offers extra practicality and the joy of a big motor. And since it's available at a gone-tomorrow price, you know you need to hurry up and call today!
