The first-generation C/K trucks were produced from the 1960 to 1966 model years. They were the first General Motors pickup trucks developed on a dedicated truck platform (no longer a derivative of the GM A platform).
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 RegCab Short Bed has been in the same family since new! Grandpa bought it from new at Johnson Chevrolet in Water Valley, MS and used it on the family farm in the pastures and occasionally to town for a visit to the local Piggly Wiggly. Somewhere around 1988-90, grandpa (at age 85) gave the truck to the owner’s aunt and uncle. In 1999, the aunt and uncle gave the truck to the current owner (who is a senior citizen/non-smoker). For the last 18 years it has been stored inside a heated/cooled showroom. About 2004-2006 new brakes and tires were installed. Between 2006-2008 leather, carpet, door panels and headliner were added. It’s been well maintained with an engine overhaul done in 2024 (along with refreshing the radiator, adding HEI ignition, water pump). Unfortunately, the owner does not have all maintenance records to prove the accuracy of the mileage, but is willing to sign/notarize an affidavit supporting the mileage. The truck won an award at a car show in Lindale, TX in 2008 for the vehicle with the Best Story. I’ve driven the truck and found that it starts readily, idles smoothly, runs well (good power), and shifts positively.

Also, if you need assistance in selling your vehicle, I offer a consignment service on a flat fee basis (no sale, no fee charged). Quite a few of my customers utilize the service for the following reasons:

2. Title paperwork is handled by a licensed Texas Motor Vehicle dealer (especially when a lien is in effect on your vehicle or the buyer needs financing)
