1969 Chevrolet C10 Restomod Built on Silverado HD Chassis

Cars & Bids lists a 1969 Chevrolet C10 restomod featuring a Duramax turbodiesel V8, Allison automatic, 4WD, and dual rear wheels. View full details.

A distinctive restomod has appeared on Cars & Bids, standing out even among classic pickup listings. This is a 1969 Chevrolet C10 that retains its vintage styling while hiding thoroughly modern hardware beneath the body.

Although titled in California as a 1969 C10, the truck is built on a customized chassis based on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado HD. This approach blends the iconic second-generation C/K design with contemporary mechanicals, including a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, a 5-speed Allison automatic transmission, and a part-time four-wheel-drive system. The build is further distinguished by its dual rear wheel configuration, an uncommon feature in classic C10 restomods.

According to the seller, the truck has been restored and recently repainted in black. Inside, a black-and-red interior features TMI Products seats, a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, and an upgraded sound system with a Pioneer head unit. Reported mechanical upgrades include EFILive engine management, an aftermarket turbocharger, an EGR delete kit, RCV front axles, and KYB Excel-G shocks. The stance is completed by 20-inch TIS Offroad wheels, reinforcing the truck’s modernized character.

In stock form, the 6.6-liter Duramax is rated at 310 horsepower, though the seller notes that output may be higher due to modifications. No dyno sheet has been provided to confirm this. The digital odometer shows approximately 600 miles, but the mileage is listed as TMU, meaning the true distance traveled is unknown.

With several days remaining before the auction closes, bidding has already climbed past $27,000. Combining classic late-1960s styling with heavy-duty diesel power and a rare dually setup, this C10 occupies a narrow but compelling niche that could resonate with collectors seeking something both unconventional and highly personalized.
