1968 Chevrolet 350 Pick Up C10
Specifications
Description
Trucks are the often-overlooked gateway into classic car ownership, and while interest may have started to pick up over the past five years or so, there are still a number of affordable options out there that have been largely ignored by classic car buyers.
The 1968 Chevrolet Pick Up Truck is one of the most popular, reliable, and easiest-to-drive classic pickups you can find. This particular generation marks the turning point when Chevy realized it could offer truck buyers modern conveniences and comfort options in the same way it did sedan shoppers–a stunningly simple connection to make in retrospect, but one that blew the market wide open during a time when primary rival Ford steadfastly refusing to build anything other than the most utilitarian models for work use.
The end result was a sales phenomenon that would see GM prolong its dominance over the Blue Oval well into the mid-'70s, pushing millions of examples of this generation of truck out of the factories and onto the roads, farm fields, and dusty barns.
The 1968–72 C/K proved that you didn't have to suffer a tin can cabin or a kidney-busting ride to get the job done.
ABOUT THIS TRUCK
- Chassis: CS148J147781
- Engine J47781
- Very Good Condition Throughout
- Worth noting is that C10 short beds, especially well side options, are what everyone wants and that this is a Factory V8 Truck not a 6 cylinder conversion.
- Drives very well – beautiful note comes out of its 350 V-8, which generates 255 horsepower.
As mentioned above,1968 represented a sea-change in the corporate thinking at Chevrolet when it made a strong play to convince truck buyers that they could outfit their beasts of burden with the kind of comforts required to use them as daily transportation.
As a result, the sheer variety and splendor of the C/K is unmatched for its era of pickups, with a startling number of options, drivetrains, and body styles available for mixing and matching.
Car will be sold WOF'd and registered if sold in New Zealand.
