By the late 1960s, General Motors began equipping its Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks with more comfort and convenience features, making them more than workhorses or rolling tools. This particular C10 had a frame-off restoration in 2016 and is one of the more beautiful Action Line trucks to come through MotoeXotica Classic Cars recently.
Built in GM’s Lakewood, Georgia factory, this truck is dressed in White (code 521). The paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. Thanks to the restoration, the glass panels, the lights, the body and the chrome bumpers are all in great shape. The bodywork is straight and solid as expected, the truck has a 115-inch wheelbase and a gross vehicle weight rating (GWVR) of 5,000 pounds. The engine bay is extremely tidy, as is the truck’s cargo bay, which has a Literides roll-up bed cover.
This truck rolls on Performance GT Grand Prix tires, size P255/70R15 all around. The tires are mounted on factory alloy wheels from the “box-body” C10 era from the 1970s. The wheels are in excellent shape while the tires are in very good shape.
Under the hood is a rebuilt 305 CID V-8 engine with an aluminum radiator and breathing via dual stainless-steel exhausts. Backing this motor is the original Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include vintage air-conditioning, power steering, a deluxe air heater and Sears aftermarket cruise control.
Inside, a red vinyl interior with the Cheyenne pattern, including the dashpad, replaced the original interior. The red bench seat is in excellent condition while the red carpeting is in very good shape. The truck’s headliner looks great, the factory three-spoke steering wheel is in very good condition while the instrument panel is in excellent shape while the door trim panels are finished with the embossed Cheyenne pattern and are in very good order. The chrome gearshift lever and a Pioneer AM/FM stereo with a CD player completes the interior.
A new, more modern look came for 1967, along with a new nickname: “Action Line.” It was with this revision of the C/K truck that General Motors began to add comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line that had previously been for work purposes alone. The majority of 10 series and some 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1966 to 1972 were equipped with a coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which greatly improved the ride over traditional leaf springs. However, the leaf spring rear suspension was still available on those trucks, and standard on 30 series trucks. All two-wheel drive trucks came with independent front suspension, while 4x4’s used a conventional solid axle with leaf springs. Nineteen sixty-seven was the only model year for the “small rear window” (RPO A10 offered a large rear window as a factory option). Optional transmissions included a three-speed overdrive unit (C-10 only) and several different four-speed manuals, the Powerglide two-speed automatic, or the Turbo-Hydramatic 350 and 400 three-speed automatics. Ten-series trucks came with a 6 x 5.5–inch bolt pattern, the ¾- and 1-ton trucks came with an 8 x 6.5–inch bolt pattern.
Documentation includes an owner’s manual for the Pioneer stereo and an owner’s manual for the Sears cruise control.
Competition to this Chevrolet in 1967 included Dodge’s D-100, Ford’s F-150, GMC’s 1000 Wide-side and International’s 1100B half-ton trucks.
