1970 Chevrolet C20 Pickup

The C/K range was Chevrolet and GMC's full-size pickup truck line for the home market from 1960 until 1998, from 1965 to 1999 in Canada, from 1964 to 2001 in Brazil, and from 1975 to 1982 in Chile. The first Chevrolet pickup truck was produced in 1924, though in-house designs did not appear until 1930. The letter 'C' indicated two-wheel drive and 'K', four-wheel drive.The bright yellow truck here is a second generation example with a more modern look, and these were available from 1967, along with a new nickname: "Action Line". It was with this revision of the C/K range, that General Motors began to add comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line-up that had previously been purely utilitarian. The second generation models were built with better quality steel, helping keep rust at bay, and a pickup box made of double-walled steel. The majority of 10 and 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1967 to 1972 were built with a coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which greatly improved the ride compared to traditional leaf springs. This 1970 variant, which is part of a private collection, has only had two owners from new, the first from 1970 until 2014, then from 2014 until recently and appears to have covered just 60,500 miles in total. It's clear to see that it has not had a hard life and the 350 cubic inch V8 engine still pulls well. The truck was recently treated to a re-trim, over in Virginia where it lived, along with a fresh coat of paint. Since arriving on European shores this big Sunshine Yellow American truck vehicle has been serviced and is now ready to enjoy life 'on the range'.
