1969 Chevrolet C10/K10

A clean-sheet design introduced for the 1967 and built through 1972, Chevrolet's redesigned C/K pickup trucks and their GMC stablemates took the North American light-truck market by storm. In addition to excellent restoration parts support, these great-driving and stylish haulers are incredibly easy to service, making them a hands-down favorite of restorers, customizers, and even drag racers. Of the various 1967-1972 body styles offered, including Fleetsides and Stepsides, the ''short-box'' Fleetside is quite rare and particularly desirable today with its crisp bodylines and sporty proportions.

If this example from 1969 looks familiar, that's because it was built for the Chicago-based rock band Chevelle and shown in the 2021 music video for ''Self Destructor,'' the lead single that reached no. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart from the band?s ninth studio album, NIRATIAS. Featuring stock looks on the outside, the body of this C10 has never been dismantled in its lifetime, lending irreplaceable integrity to this awesome custom Chevy pickup. Modifications are limited to the inside, with updated mechanicals by the renowned crew at The Roadster Shop.

Power is delivered by a full roller 400 CI V-8, topped with throttle body fuel injection and pushing 500 horsepower through a GM 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission. Fully upgraded suspension includes AFCO adjustable coil over shocks front and rear, a new Roadster Shop front crossmember, sway bar, 4-wheel disc brakes, a Wilwood master cylinder, and rack-and-pinion steering gear. The Chevy's cab features a new seat, new interior components and new gauges. A hidden bar secures the multi-point seat belts/harnesses. Other details include relocation of the stock cab-mounted fuel tank to a new home underneath the cargo bed. A full-length dual exhaust system removes the spent combustion gases and delivers a fabulous sound. In addition to our still photos, a link to the music video for ''Self Destructor,'' showing the Chevy in action, can be seen here.

A great example of Chevrolet's 1967-72 ''Glamour Series'' pickups with select updates and local celebrity ownership, this 1969 Chevrolet C10 ''Short Box'' custom pickup will deliver plenty of enjoyment and draw admirers everywhere you take it.
