5.7-litre V8 coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox
Unique 'rat look' effect, making this truck truly unique in its appearance
Amazing potential as a bold advertising piece
Retains many original features, along with some tasteful custom flourishes
Substantial paperwork from both current and previous owner
The Appeal
When designing their Chevrolet C10, GM aimed to combine rugged underpinnings with practical features from their passenger cars. Here we have an early 'First Generation' example dating from 1963 which has been allowed to proudly display a rich patina.
It also boasts a roaring 5.7-litre V8, coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox. A rare sight in the UK, this example is unique in its appearance, so don't miss the opportunity to make it yours.
