I call this one the Sentimental C10. It's a 1966 Chevy C10 Stepside with a 3-on-the-tree transmission. It belonged to the gentleman's father, who drove it regularly before his passing. It came to me with a blown 250ci inline 6-cylinder engine. The customer had a period-correct 283 SBC that he wanted to swap in.
With the help of some hot rod friends, I located the period-correct valve covers, intake, exhaust manifolds, and air breather. I did update the charging system, ignition system, and carburetor. It had sat for many years, so it needed all the parts to make it stop and go again.
This truck is a true classic and a joy to drive with the 3-on-the-tree transmission. I'm sure it'll bring many more fond memories to its owners.
