This custom Chevrolet pickup is the result of a six-year build that involved mounting the body components of a 1963 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside pickup on a chassis sourced from a wrecked 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. Power is provided by a 5.3-liter EcoTec V8 linked to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the seller notes the chassis retains electric power steering, anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, and traction control. Following the build, the truck was awarded 1960-1966 Truck of the Year at the 2024 C10 Nationals as well as runner up in the same class the following year. Inside the cab, the seats and instrument panel from the donor truck are accompanied by custom-trimmed door panels, power windows, retractable shoulder belts, Vintage Air climate control, and a RetroSound stereo linked to Hertz speakers. Additional features include include cruise control, variable wipers, tow/haul mode, traction control, stability control, automatic daytime running lights, and chipped key ignition along with polished 18″ Raceline wheels, one-piece door windows, and a spray-in bedliner coating. This modified C10 pickup was reportedly purchased new by the seller’s father before being acquired by the seller in 2014, and it is now offered with build records and a California title in the seller’s name.
The Fleetside body has been refinished in desert tan and white and features LED taillights, dual side mirrors, tinted glass, and a one-piece door-glass conversion on each side. The interior of the bed is coated in black spray-in bedliner, and the fuel filler has been integrated into the driver-side inner wheel well. LED lights are mounted below the bed rails.
The 2015 GMC chassis has been modified with a McGaughy’s suspension kit that provides a 4.5″ front and 6″ rear drop and has rear airbag overload springs. The seller notes that electric power steering, anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, and traction control have been retained.
Polished 18″ Raceline alloy wheels are wrapped in 235/55 Mazama Reputation tires.
The cab houses gray-trimmed bucket seats and the folding center arm rest from the donor truck, and the door panels have been trimmed to match with custom inserts. A Vintage Air climate control system is installed along with a RetroSound stereo linked to a 1,500-watt amplifier, two subwoofers, and Hertz speakers. The seller states that functions and equipment retained from the donor truck include cruise control, variable wipers, tow/haul mode, traction control, stability control, automatic daytime running lights, and chipped key ignition. Three-point shoulder belts are also installed along with gray carpeting and power windows.
The late-model Chevrolet-branded steering wheel is mounted to the donor truck’s steering column and frames a modified instrument panel housing the 2015 GMC instrument cluster. Gauges consist of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a configurable central digital display, and readouts for voltage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 4k miles have been added since the build, at which time the donor truck was disassembled with approximately 11 miles.
The 5.3-liter L83 EcoTec V8 remained with the donor 2015 GMC chassis, and it is accompanied by a cold-air intake assembly.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 6L80E six-speed automatic transmission from the 2015 donor truck. Coated headers feed into a two-into-one exhaust system with catalytic converters and a MagnaFlow muffler.
The truck is titled in California as a 1963 Chevrolet with the VIN 3C1440139974 pictured above. The title has a “HSCR” body-type designation. The donor truck’s VIN sequence 1GTN1TEC7FZ906433 is pictured in the gallery below along with receipts for the donor parts.
The Carfax report for the donor 2015 GMC truck is pictured in the gallery and shows a “Vehicle Scrapped” notice from October 2015.
