Although it s not as iconic as its Ford F-Series counterpart, the second-generation Chevrolet C10 is one of the cool square trucks of the 1960s. It s an expensive collectible in the right configuration but also a solid platform for a high-revving restomod. 13 photos
This 1969 C10 is a good example of how you can turn a mundane truck into a sleeper. It may look rusty on the outside, but it went through a thorough restoration process. The owner opted for a patina finish, hence the barn find look, especially above the waistline.
Take a closer look, and you ll notice the perfect chrome on the front grille and bumper, as well as the modern multi-spoke rims wrapped in low-profile tires. But it s what s under that makes this old truck special. Its 50-year-old engine has been replaced by a modern 5.3-liter LS V8, paired to a 4L60E automatic transmission.
