History of the Chevy C10

During the 1950s. Chevrolet introduced V-8 engines to its trucks. but the vehicle more or less continued as an updated model of the early postwar pickups that debuted in 1948. The C10 was a completely new truck. Chevrolet gave the C10 better weight distribution by increasing the load capacity of the front axle. adding about 5. 6 inches to the front and moving the front axle back about 2 inches. Engineers enlarged the cab for better comfort and added more windshield and rear window glass to increase visibility.

Although the C10 most commonly identifies as the half-ton. short-bed pickup. it came in different styles. The C10 featured a 115-inch wheelbase for the pickup equipped with the 6. 5-foot bed and a 127-inch wheelbase for models with the 8-foot bed. Chevy sold pickups as a chassis and cab that required buyers to custom-fit their choice of beds. Other styles featured the Fleetside. or flat panel cargo box. and the Stepside. which had the rear wheels outside the bed and a step mounted between the cab and wheel wells. C10 models also included a panel truck and the Suburban sport utility vehicle.

By 1968. Chevrolet began focusing on providing the C10 with a smoother ride. more room in the cab and some creature comforts that were once reserved only for passenger cars. The truck featured smoother lines. as Chevy marketed it as a second family vehicle. The 115-inch wheelbase version measured 186. 75 inches in length. with a front tread width of 63. 1 inches and a rear tread width of 61. 1 inches. The 127-inch wheelbase model measured 206. 25 inches in length. with the same front and rear track dimensions. Engine choices by 1968 were the 250- and 292-cubic-inch. in-line six-cylinders. and the 307. 327 and 396 V-8s.
