This new series from the guys at Auto Revolution is pretty darn cool! If you ever wondered about the history of the C10 truck, and how the builders you know and love got to be who they are, and how they became so important to the industry or their niche, then this is a series you are going to want to watch. And who better to start with than the OG C10 builders Dino and Delmo?
These two were instrumental in making the first generation of C10, the 1960-1966 models, popular with customizers. It sounds funny, but there are ton of people that don’t even know that the 60-66 models are the first C10s. They think the 1967-1972 was the first, and that’s just not the case. I like the early trucks, and have since I was a kid, but many folks considered them the ugly duckling for a long time. Watch the video and see how Dino and Delmo became the dudes, while also bringing the positive attention these early C10s deserve.

Auto Revolution’s Influence & Impact traces the automotive history of custom car and truck builders.
We begin with the foundation of the C-10 truck’s popularity, the 1960-66 Chevrolet truck. The classic truck, once considered the ugly duckling, found its niche thanks to guys like Dino and Delmo breathing new life into the custom truck world and setting the stage for the C-10 craze to come.
The early years of customizing consisted of speed shop trucks, rockabilly-inspired Truckin’ magazine projects, and full-blown custom metal creations from Grant Kustoms. Soon, the classic styling would come into its own.
Stay tuned for the next episode tracing the high-end builds and timeless 1967-72 C-10 truck history.
