Description

Claude might share a name with the famous painter Monet, but this 1966 Chevrolet C10 is an automotive masterpiece named after a different kind of artist-the owner's late friend who helped craft this 3-year frame-off restoration. Cardinal Red paint lays across the body like liquid glass, showing off every classic curve and angle of this iconic American hauler. Factory 15" wheels with P215/75R15 white wall tires give this truck a perfect stance for cruising or showing. The wood bed railing adds that authentic touch of craftsmanship, taking you back to when trucks weren't just tools but expressions of American workmanship. Chrome brightwork remains in excellent condition, reflecting sunlight and admiring glances with equal brilliance.

Climb inside and you'll find the fully replaced Fawn Beige interior with period-correct vinyl and cloth covering the bench seat. Clear, crisp gauges greet your eyes while your ears will appreciate the cleverly hidden modern audio system. The factory-appearance head unit hides Bluetooth connectivity, while custom-mounted Infinity component speakers, a powerful Polk Audio 12" subwoofer, and Clarion 7-band equalizer deliver sound quality that would blow away the original engineers. The column shifter feels solid in hand, and the Vintage Air system blows ice-cold, making summer cruises comfortable even when the asphalt is cooking.

Opening the hood reveals the 250 CI Inline 6 engine, rebuilt last year and running with precision and confidence. The 3-speed manual transmission shifts with mechanical certainty, connecting you directly to the driving experience. A new steering box provides tight control around corners while the aftermarket muffler gives this classic pickup a voice that's got just the right amount of rumble without overwhelming. The 12-bolt rear end houses 3.73 gears, making highway cruising smooth and enjoyable while still providing quick acceleration from a stop. Stock coil suspension with well-tuned shocks keeps this truck planted on the road.
