1965 Chevrolet C10 | Lincoln, Lincolnshire

A 1965 Chevrolet C10, the half-ton pickup from the first-generation C/K range. It is known for a cab set lower than on earlier Chevrolet trucks and a plain, practical shape that reads as 1960s America at a glance. This C10 is yellow with a black interior, so the bright body sits against a dark cabin. It is in fair condition and has a 3800cc engine, with room for three across the cab and an open bed behind. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out into the road, and it brings an American look into any frame. The yellow paint and open bed give period film and TV scenes, music videos and location photography a strong colour and a working prop to build a frame around. Stylists can dress the bed for fashion and editorial shoots, and at events it makes a distinctive arrival or display. For weddings, the bed is a rustic backdrop for newlywed portraits. The truck is based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
