No Reserve: 5.3L Vortec-Powered 1963 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

This 1963 Chevrolet C10 is a short-bed Fleetside pickup that was refurbished and modified before the seller acquired it in 2017. The truck was repainted blue with a platinum-toned stripe, the bed floor was rebuilt with red oak planking and stainless-steel runners, the brightwork was refreshed, Silverado-sourced bucket seats trimmed in black leather upholstery were fitted, and a 5.3-liter V8 and four-speed automatic transmission were installed. Other equipment includes 17″ Cragar wheels, Wilwood front disc brakes, Vintage Air climate control, a dual exhaust system, and an aftermarket stereo. The seller has added approximately 4k miles since their acquisition, and the oil was most recently changed in 2021. This modified C10 pickup is now offered at no reserve with manuals, receipts, a cover, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

The seller states that the body was removed from the frame, the fenders were replaced, the tailgate was modified, and the truck was then repainted in its current shade of blue with a platinum-toned accent stripe on the sides. Additional work included replating, polishing, and replacing trim pieces, and a Graphene nano-coating is said to have been applied to the bodywork and chrome trim. The stainless-steel dual exhaust system exits below the rear bumper.

Chrome-finished 17″ Cragar wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires measuring 225/45 up front and 255/45 in the rear. Wilwood disc brakes have been installed up front, and the seller states that the suspension was also overhauled during the refurbishment.

The bucket seats equipped with three-point seatbelts and trimmed in black leather as well as the matching center console were reportedly sourced from a Chevrolet Silverado, and the carpeting was replaced. Additional modifications include a Vintage Air climate-control system, cruise control, keyless entry, and an aftermarket stereo paired with 11″ subwoofers mounted under the seats. A replacement wiring harness and a modern fuse box has also been fitted. The seller notes that the power-adjustable seats drain the battery, and the fuse for the seats has been removed as a temporary solution.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilting column, and instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The mechanical odometer shows over 11k miles, which is said to reflect the mileage since the truck was overhauled. The seller has added 4k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
