The C/K series was a range of trucks that were manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 to 2002 model years. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K series encompassed a wide range of vehicles. While most associated with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassis-cab trucks and medium-duty trucks and served as the basis for GM full-size SUVs. Through its entire production, the model line competed directly against the Ford F-Series and the Dodge D series (later the Dodge Ram pickup). Launched in the fall of 1959, the 1960 model year introduced a new body style of a light pick-up truck that featured many firsts. Most important of these were a drop-centre ladder frame, allowing the cab to sit lower, and independent front suspension, giving an almost car-like ride in a truck. The cab was modified for 1964, with the elimination of the "wraparound" windshield and a new front grille design, along with various interior changes, while retaining the original design on the body.
Purchased through H&H Classics at the same venue it is offered today, this Chevrolet C10 Fleetside is presented in an appealing White over Blue and trimmed in a complementary-coloured mix of cloth and leatherette. ‘OGU 502D’ is powered by a 350cui V8 engine topped by a Rochester 4-barrel carburettor and drives through a three-speed automatic transmission. Restored in the US in c.2008 by a previous keeper, a retired panel beater, the comprehensive programme of improvement included a complete repaint, re-trim and new oak panelling for the load deck. Since 2016, the vehicle has been registered in the UK and has benefited from the wheels being refinished in an appealing White, a metal surround fitted for advertising, as well as bike mounts on the flatbed. ‘OGU 502D’ comes accompanied with a collection of invoices and the V5C document which displays zero previous keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the paintwork as ‘good’, with the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, transmission and interior trim all as ‘very good’.
