All-Original 1974 Chevy C10 Is a Classic Time-Warp

We're not certain exactly who or what started the long-running Chevrolet C10 pickup craze (it very well could have been Truckin', or any one of MotorTrend's former truck-enthusiast magazines), but there's no arguing the fact that today these trucks, produced from 1960 to 1987, are timeless.

The latest cool Chevy C10 being brokered at Mecum Auctions' Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, event (and there are several) is this model, slated to cross the block on Saturday, July 30, 2022. Actually, Lot #S123 is beyond being simply cool because, as a 1974, it's an early pioneer of the "Squarebody" era (1973 to 1987), examples of which are today the most coveted C10s of the entire run, in any condition (kind of like an old Mopar muscle car).

What you're looking at in these photos is a true survivor; a Custom 10 that somehow has escaped the perils of dilapidation and destruction, as well as the clutches of "builders," customizers, hot-rodders, and modifiers (for now). This Chevy squarebody is 100-percent original, from its Grecian Bronze paint to the Uniroyal tires it was delivered on in 1974. The truck was purchased by a Minnesota farmer who reportedly owned it for a few years, only using it to attend church services on Sundays.

Let's get to the images of this timeless classic, which certainly could sell for a king's ransom based on its perfectly preserved condition, highlighted by only 723 original miles. As classic Chevy C10s go, the big question is whether the winning bidder will keep this rig "as is" for a continued eternity, or if it is destined for full customization, and eventually possible resale at a future Mecum auction.

Tune in to MotorTrend's exclusive coverage of Mecum's Harrisburg auction. Broadcasts start July 28 at 6:00 p.m on MotorTrend+ and MotorTrend TV.
