1966 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Fleetside...Updated frame and suspension...Must see

1966 Chevrolet C-10 Description

1966 Chevrolet C10 Shortbed Fleetside Pickup. We have started a frame up restoration on this 66 C10, the frame and cab have been professionally sandblasted so no surprises with this truck. Frame has been powder coated high gloss black with some powder coated pieces in chrome and illusion red for some “pop” of color. The frame has been upgraded with CPP suspension and brakes (see list), the cab after sandblasting had some light metal and body work done and is in a self etching primer there is a little fine tuning needed before paint but it’s a great base to get started so you can chose your colors. There is no engine or transmission in the car so you can choose what you want to run (I have a engine and trans that works in it, if your interested message me and I can list that as well).
This is a fresh project we started in October 2019 so this is NOT a project that has been sitting for years...everything is NEW NEW NEW...we are selling because a coupe project became available and we only have room for one project.

What’s been done to the cab...
The cab has been professionally sandblasted, the cab was in very good condition we were pleasantly surprised how good of condition it was in...there was some light metal work repairs, and some light body work done..then all panels were primed with self etching primer. The doors in good condition and open and close cleanly, hood is in fantastic shape with no rust through including underside. You will still need some finishing work to get ready for perfect paint but it is a great base.Then antenna opening was frenched, and the gas tank hole in the side of cab was deletedNew red poly cab mountsNew complete stainless bolt kit for sheetmetalAny trim you see in pictures comes with truck and is original
Other items included with sale...
New chrome tilt steering colum for automaticOriginal dash clusterPowder coated super chrome hood hinges, hood latch assembly, hood braces, radiator cover, and battery box (Hood hinges installed, all other items see in pic of extras)Powder Coated high gloss black seat frame
Have other miscellaneous parts for bed (original condition not great so I was going to go with new bed kit but will include if you want it) and other cab parts we took off before sand blasting..to much to list but will try to include in photos, these parts are not the quality of the items listed in this sale and only including them in case you would like to use or refinish. Not sure of value of these items but nice to have extras.
I have well over $20,000 into this truck so far not including labor and reserve is much lower than that, you can look up frames for a 66 C10 with some of the upgrades this frame has and they are in the $17k plus range, they do NOT include Complete Cab or Clean Title.
I have tired to be as detailed as possible but if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask...If you are looking to do a custom C10 this is a great start to a one of a kind truck of your dreams. You get to pick all the fun stuff like colors, interior and drivetrain.
Also I have more pictures that couldn’t add but have and can send to you if interested like when the cab and frame condition when freshly sandblasted...just ask.
I have all receipts and installation instructions from CPP that will go with the truck for reference as needed...more info is always helpful.
