Recently picked up
A 1965 Chevrolet C10
For a customer in the Netherlands we picked up this matte black C10 Stepside in Maryland: six-cylinder, manual, and despite its age it drives very well. We took it to the port of New York for shipping. Read the whole story in the 1965 Chevrolet C10.
Why from America
Why a C10 from America?
Much more choice
For years the C10 was one of the best-selling pickups in America. That’s why you find every generation and version there, including in the dry south and west where they suffer less from rust.
Favourable on import
A C10 is more than 30 years old. In original condition the EU import duty is usually 0% and a reduced VAT rate applies. Customs decides per car.
No surprises
We view the pickup on the spot: bonnet open, cold start, a short drive. You see it on video before you decide.
Pickup and shipping arranged
We pick up the C10 and take it to the port. From the east coast it takes about 4 weeks to Rotterdam.
Which C10?
The generations of the Chevrolet C10
First generation (1960-1966)
The C10 name started with this generation: C for two-wheel drive, 10 for a half-ton payload. New was the independent front suspension, which makes it ride far more comfortably than older pickups. From 1964 with a new, cleaner cab.
Second generation, Action Line (1967-1972)
A completely new design with clean lines. For many fans the most beautiful C10 and a favourite base for a restomod. From 1968 a big block V8 could be fitted for the first time, and in 1971 the more luxurious Cheyenne trim arrived.
Third generation, Square Body (1973-1986)
Officially it was called the Rounded Line, but everyone knows it as the square body. The longest-built generation, with a roomier cab and leaf springs at the rear. From 1987 it was called the R10, so the last real C10 is from 1986.
How it works
A C10 to order: how it goes
- You send your wishes. On WhatsApp you tell us which generation you’re looking for, Stepside or Fleetside, six-cylinder or V8, original or project, and what your budget is.
- We search in America. During the next buying trip we search among private sellers and through our network. If we find something, we go and look and send you videos and photos.
- You decide. If you like it, you receive an invoice. You pay into the company’s US business account, not a personal account.
- Pickup and shipping. We pick up the pickup and take it to the port. From New York the crossing to Rotterdam takes about 4 weeks, from Los Angeles about 2 months.
- Import and registration. In Europe come customs, the inspection and registration in your country. In the Netherlands we work with people who can arrange the inspection and registration.
What we look for in a C10
- Rust. Especially the cab corners, the floor, the bottom of the doors and the bed. A pickup from a dry state often suffers less there.
- The papers. A Title in the seller’s name and a VIN that matches the truck.
- Starting and driving. We want to hear it start cold and take it for a test drive: shifting, braking, steering.
- Original or modified. We tell you honestly what is original and what has been changed. That matters for the value and for the import.
Price, import and tax
Prices are in dollars and include shipping to the port of Rotterdam. After that come unloading the container, the customs declaration, import duty and VAT. For a C10 in original condition that is usually 0% import duty and a reduced VAT rate; read more in importing a classic from the USA. Every C10 is old enough for classic tax rules in most European countries, but the rules differ per country.
Fitting a V8?
Fitting a V8 is one of the most popular modifications to a C10. Only do it after import: for 0% import duty the pickup must be in original condition. A different engine must be approved at the inspection in your country. Read more in the story of the 1965 C10.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about a C10 from America
What does C10 mean?
The C stands for two-wheel drive (K for four-wheel drive) and 10 for a half-ton payload. A C20 is a three-quarter ton, a C30 a one-ton.
What is the difference between Stepside and Fleetside?
A Fleetside has a bed with straight sides. A Stepside has separate fenders behind the cab and a step to climb into the bed.
Do you have a C10 for sale right now?
We work to order: we search specifically for the C10 you want. Send your wishes on WhatsApp and we’ll search during the next buying trip in America.
What is included in the price?
The price is in dollars and includes shipping to the port of Rotterdam. Import duty, VAT and the port costs come on top. Feel free to ask for an all-in calculation for a specific pickup.
Do I pay import duty on a C10?
For a car 30 years or older in original condition the import duty is usually 0% and a reduced VAT rate applies (9% in the Netherlands, 7% in Germany). Customs decides per car; a heavily modified pickup may be assessed differently.
Can I fit a V8 in my C10 later?
Yes, that’s a popular modification. Only do it after import, because for 0% import duty the pickup must be original. A different engine must be approved at the inspection in your country.
Can you also pick up a C10 I found myself?
Yes. Send us the listing or the seller’s details. We go and look, film the pickup, pick it up and arrange the shipping, as with the 1965 C10 in Maryland.
