1968 Chevy Fleetside Swb Show Truck Custom Restored 100% on 2040-cars

CLASSIC SHOW TRUCK FOR SALE

1968 Chevy C-10 Fleetside SWB

Completely restored; ground up, frame-off, full rotisserie with all new parts. Only 1,100 miles.

Frame and cab are matching numbers.

Like most true gear-head projects this car started out to be a “dail driver”. Haha

As usually happens with us perfectionists, every time I replaced a old part with a new one I kept finding it made all the others look bad. So what do you do...well if you are really picky you replace them all and end up with a show truck that is driveable on a daily basis.

These 1967-1968 Chevy C-10 shortbed trucks are HOT and very collectible. This one is the best of the best, and it is totally done and ready to start winning trophies or simply being admired at your local cruise-in. Has the highly sought-after small back window for that rare old-school look.

Fully professionally rebuilt 305 Chevy (.30 over) bored, balanced, blueprinted, decked, port-matched, roller rockers, GM roller cam. Built for durability and mpg, not racing...but with 3.73 rear end gears it'll move.  Probably puts out 275-300 hp on pump gas getting over 20 mpg with its' AOD trans. Has Edelbrock Performer intake and matching 600 cfm electric choke carb with all Lokar cable/kickdown/selector cables etc.

Arp bolts and all new complete custom wiring. Noisy gear drive and Flomasters with 3” stainless exhaust tips give it a truly great sound.

Trans: Fully rebuilt Corvette 700R4 overdrive trans with shift kit.

New radiator, 3 HP mini-starter, ceramic coated headers, stainless cut-outs for exhaust. Front power disc brakes with 2.5” dropped spindles and 3” lower front coil; rear has 4” dropped coil...all new. Entire suspension and steering is completely new. Gas tank moved from inside tank to between cab rails for safety (21 gal)...filler concealed in bed of truck for security/looks.

Frame was stripped to bare metal (as was the entire truck) and then the frame was primed and painted with numerous coats Eastwood's Ceramic frame paint. Has beautifl black Haartz canvas premium flush-fit Craftec tonneau.

Bed is sprayed color-matched heavy-duty rubberized Raptor protective covering so it can haul items to car shows without marring up a wood floor.

Has a fire extinguisher and full-sized spare tire and jack mounted in bed.

Has all new Classic Industries Velocity ($800) gauges in new dash pod and pad. Note: The colorbar under thye dash does not go with the sale.

Over $10,000 in body and paint using only the best PPG paint and clear. Custom Metallic Pearl Red (reddish metallic maroon) paint was $800 gallon alone...and all PPG primers, sealers and clear were the best PPG available. Best Goodmark front quarteres, doors, cab corners and rockers plus new hood (costing over $2,200 for all parts prior to “fitting” by an expert fabricator) was smoothed to perfection...gaps are great. Tons of blocksanding went into paint prep and follow-up color-sanding. Firewall is smoothed.

BMW 5 series Antracite leather buckets, center and overhead consoles. All new carpeting, usb stereo with power amp, and power recessed antenna. Power steering and front power disc brakes all totally new. $2000 invested in Vintage Air Sure-Fit A/C, heat and defrost (blows cold). New dash pad, weatherstripping, window fuzzies and all new glass. Lots and lots of Dynamat throughout so the truck is super insulated and quiet with great audio sound clarity.

Chromed 16” American Racing IROC rims and new 255/65/16 General Grabber Ultra High Performance tires. All new complete front suspension with HD sway bar...corners like it is on rails. Of course, all rear brakes/shocks are new. Runs/drives awesome. Was always a Southern truck.

Front and rear bumpers were brand new... then I had them triple chromed show plated because I wasn't crazy about the cheezy chroming on the new bumpers I had bought. They now look great.

All headlight/tailight receptacles are new with all new nuts/bolts/screws. Has glass blue dots for olod school look. My wife says I have OCD. lmao

This truck gathers a crowd wherever it goes...and tons of “thumbs ups” while getting there.

No trades...only reluctantly selling to buy a friend's muscle car that I have been wanting for a while. Please NO Brokers...don't need help selling.

Hagerty places value at $45,000 which I feel is too high-although you could easily put that into one this nice. A few of similar apparent quality on eBay are listed for $33,000 to $40,000. You can't build it this well for my selling price-plus it could take years like mine did. Keep in mind it is a frame-off, nut and bolt restoration with most bolts replaced with all new GM bolts or stainless steel button head bolts. Grade 8 was used where applicable. Attention to detail is everywhere you look.

Has a truck cover that is included.

I invite personal inspections or can work with a local appraisor that you pay for. The truck looks much better in person as I am not much of a photographer. Have all documentation on the rebuilds.

Please DO NOT bid if you haven't got the money in hand, have to clear it with the wife first or are really just playing around here on eBay. Check my feedback...I have a perfect 100% rating.

There is a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit due within 24 hours of your having won the bid. Remember...this is a legal and binding contract.

Truck is sold As-Is, Where-Is without warranty. Should you have any questions please call me at 256/443.8846 and I will do my best to answer them. Can also provide names and contact numbers of fabricators and mechanics that have worked on this great show truck and that are familiar with the truck's condition.

Truck is located in Florence, AL (2 hours SW of Nashville or 2.5 hours NW of Birmingham...or fly into Huntsville, AL and drive your new baby home.

I am only 1 hour West of Huntsville (NW Alabama).

Truck will not be released until all funds have cleared my local bank via cash or wire transfer. Can work with your auto shipper regarding scheduling...shipping costs will be 100% your responsibility.

I can store the truck indoors for 10 days after the sale if needed.

I will not divulge the reserve (kinda destroys the whole auction concept), but it's a steal at the reserve price. So bid to own this classic beauty.

1968 Chevy C-10 Fleetside SWB

Completely restored; ground up, frame-off, full rotisserie with all new parts. Only 1,100 miles.
