One-Family-Owned 454-Powered 1969 Chevrolet K10 Pickup 4x4 5-Speed

Description

Introduced for 1967, the Action Line pickups brought cleaner styling, improved comfort, and a broader range of configurations to Chevrolet's truck lineup. The four-wheel-drive K10 combined half-ton utility with off-road capability through a rugged ladder-frame chassis, solid axles, and a dual-range transfer case. Offered with a variety of powertrains and equipment packages, the K10 proved equally suited to work, towing, and recreation, while its clean styling and durable construction have made it a favorite among classic truck enthusiasts.

This 1969 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Fleetside long bed pickup has been modified with a 454 cubic-inch V8 paired with a NV4500 five-speed manual transmission and an NP205 transfer case. Finished in blue over dark blue upholstery, the truck is equipped with a black A.R.E. bed shell, a positraction rear axle, Warn front locking hubs, dual fuel tanks, and a Class III trailer hitch. The seller reports that the truck has remained within the same family since new and was acquired from the original owners in 1991.

This modified 1969 Chevrolet K10 Pickup is now offered with refurbishment photo documentation and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

Ownership History

From the seller: “My wife's aunt and uncle purchased this K10 new from a Chevrolet dealership in Nevada, and my wife and I acquired it from them in 1991. The truck has remained in the same family since new. The odometer currently reads 33,393 miles, though the actual mileage is approximately 233,393 miles.

Over the last 20,000 miles, the truck has undergone extensive rebuilding and improvements, including the engine, transmission, suspension, upholstery, and paint. It has been garage-kept, well maintained, and used regularly, including towing a 24-foot enclosed car trailer with a variety of vehicles inside.

This truck has always been a working truck, but it is also one that can be proudly shown. It has received awards at several local car shows as well as a Super Chevy event. The original owner's manual, owner's manual cover, and factory equipment listing on the glovebox door remain with the truck.”
