1970 Chevrolet C20

Description

This 1970 Chevy C20 pickup is the kind of vehicle that gets attention without being obvious about it. Maybe it's the great lines, or the distinctive paint, or the heaver duty C20 features. In fact, all of this ensures you're looking at a classic pickup with timeless appeal.

Two-tone has always been a distinctive style on vintage pickups. On this bow tie, it emphasizes the C20's clean, straight lines and gives these former workhorses a feeling of sophistication. It also helps that the factory olive and white paintwork has been updated, so it outshines any factory color. Plus, the black and stainless trim that's a dividing line for the two colors also nicely coordinates with the grille and even the lettering on the tailgate. If you're also a fan of using your vintage pickup for true truck duty, the fact that this is a long bed with a heavier duty C20 designation makes this a great choice (and includes items like heavier springs and eight-lug wheels.) But before you put it back to work, make sure to take precautions, because you can tell this one has been treated with care.

Inside the two-tone theme continues. The exterior olive and deeper olive vinyl are true original-style '70s cool. You'll love the investment in places like the re-covered textured vinyl bench seat and dash pad. This is the great color that matches the factory steering wheel, carpeting, and door panels. This pickup has a wonderfully original feel with the correct Delco AM radio, heat/defrost controls, and a dash is full of original instruments. And the tall gearstick is something that we always love to see.

The engine is a 350 cubic-inch V8, as advertised on the front fenders. And on a truck that's felt so much like a time machine so far, it looks especially honest and correct. The Chevy Orange block and valve covers look like they're radiating power from underneath the factory black air grabber. And the look is quite right considering this V8 wears a correct Rochester four-barrel carburetor that allows the motor to inhale deeply. It also exhales with authority thanks to dual exhaust. Best of all, the four-speed manual transmission gives you the control to get the most out of this motor whenever you want. The C-series pickups are really sought-after for the trailing arm rear suspension, which helps makes these Chevys ride much smoother than most other vintage pickups. Add in features like power steering and BF Goodrich Sport Truck T/As, and you have a fine cruising machine.

A very nice truck at a great price, you can easily justify this purchase simply because it'll be both a tool and a jewel in your garage. Don't miss out, call today!
