Rev up your engines, classic truck enthusiasts! Feast your eyes on the 1963 Chevrolet C10 pickup, a vintage gem from the era when trucks were built tough and engines growled like lions. This full-sized beauty flaunts a 350 CID V8, souped up to a roaring 60 thousandths over, with performance goodies like Hooker headers and an Edelbrock intake. Forget your average ride, this beast is paired with a TH350 automatic transmission and a shift kit that might just make your grandma want to drag race. Who knew 1963 could be this much fun?
Full sized Chevrolet pickup trucks from 1960 until 1998 will either be a “C” designation-for the one or two wheel drive units or a “K” for the 4 wheel drive versions. The factory power options in 1963 are a choice of 6-six cylinder versions with the largest a 305 cu in (5.0 L) V6. The V8 engines on the table were either the 283 or the 327 small blocks. Transmission choices from the factory included a two speed automatic or two fully sychromesh standards, a 3 speed and a 4 speed.
The truck imaged here has a 350 CID V8 bored to 60 thousandths over along with a number of performance options including Hooker headers and an Edelbrock intake. The transmission is a TH350 automatic with an added shift kit.
