Why we picked it

Why we picked it: the private seller says this green 1969 C10 was bought new at Art Butler Chevrolet in Columbus, Montana, still has its original matching-numbers V8 and four-speed, and comes with the original build sheet. It is an 8-foot stepside, a less common body than the fleetside, and the listing states a clear title.

The seller says the cab corners and inner and outer rockers have been replaced and the truck has no rust. Recent parts include the carburetor, master cylinder, radiator, heater core, fuel pump and sending unit, dash pad, front bumper, clutch release bearing, door seals and new tires on rally wheels. At $11,000 with offers invited, it is priced below every comparable driver sale we found.

The value check

The seller is asking $11,000. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $16,000–$19,800, so the middle of the market is about $17,900. That put this car 39% under.

Driver-grade 1969 C10 long beds and stepsides sold for $16,000 to $19,800 from Jul to Oct 2026 (BaT, Mecum, BuyTheCar); a nicer stepside made $32,000 on BaT in May. At $11,000 OBO this one asks about 39% under the $17,900 midpoint.

Where the numbers come from:

What to check

  • Look closely at the replaced cab corners and rockers for quality of the welds and any filler
  • Check the floors, bed wood and the stepside fenders, plus the frame behind the cab
  • The 39,000-mile odometer has five digits, so treat the true mileage as unknown
  • Get the VIN and build sheet in hand and match the engine and transmission stamps yourself
  • Check the four-speed for synchro wear and the clutch linkage for slop

Making it drive like new

Keep the numbers-matching drivetrain on the shelf or in the truck, and add front disc brakes with a dual master, a mild drop with springs and shocks, and a modern wiring harness. If you want more, a coilover front clip and a five-speed or T56 swap make a long-wheelbase stepside a very good highway truck.
