1974 Chevrolet C10 | Romiley, Greater Manchester

A 1974 Chevrolet C10 is a half-ton American pickup from the square-bodied generation that ran from 1973 to 1987. It is liked for its flat panels, recessed grille and wraparound shoulder line. That look has since made these trucks a favourite starting point for custom builds. This one is painted green and white, which shows off the straight body lines, and inside it is brown and beige with a bench seat for three. It has been part restored and modified with a working-farm character, and now sits lower on upgraded suspension and modern alloy wheels. A 5300cc LS engine provides the power, and the condition is fair. It is left-hand drive, so the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side. Its period shape suits 1970s American scenes in film and TV, and the lowered stance and flat panels give photography and fashion shoots a strong, simple profile. At events it makes a bold centrepiece. It also works for weddings and personal hires. The truck is based in Romiley, Greater Manchester.
