Arguably the definitive iteration of Chevrolet’s iconic C/K truck series, the third generation was also the longest lived (remaining in production from 1972-1991). Christened the ‘Rounded Line’ by Chevrolet due to the computer and wind tunnel work which had gone into its design, the newcomer was more intuitively known to the press and public alike as the ‘Square Body’. Available with a range of different wheelbases, load capacities and cab configurations not to mention the option of two- or four-wheel drive, the third generation C/K series became increasingly civilised over time as its maker realised that many were being bought in preference to a conventional passenger car.
Reportedly supplied new to J.P. Mitchell of the University of California’s Department of Vegetable Crops, this particular example was specified with a 5.7 litre V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. A rear-wheel drive, half-ton capacity, C10 Custom Deluxe model, the Chevy is understood to have remained in Mitchell’s care until being imported to the UK and NOVA declared. As well preserved as decades in the Californian sun would suggest, the Pick-Up has been liveried to act as a tow vehicle for the vendor’s ex-James Hunt Tour of Britain Chevrolet Camaro Z28. Exuding cool and patina in equal measure, it possesses a MOT certificate valid until May 2023.
