Notable Releases
Use neighboring releases as identification checkpoints rather than treating every 1969 Chevy C-10 as interchangeable. Compare the year, product number, decoration, wheel type, base and package before using another release as a reference.
Black paint, intricate flame decoration, blue accents and Good Fortune lettering on the rear fender identify the edition. Makoto of M&K Custom Signs created its graphics. Collector catalogs record a total of 5,000.

Physical Details
- Body / color: Black
The catalog specifies a metal black base with a chrome adjustment dial, smoke-tinted windows, black interior and Real Riders Muscle wheels. The dial operates the adjustable ride height; the suspension function is corroborated by the exact GLH97 catalog.

Packaging Details
Exact packaging is not documented strongly enough to publish for this record.
For carded or boxed examples, compare card/box design, assortment markings, barcode area, retailer/event identifiers and included contents before treating two examples as the same release.
M&K’s February 5, 2021 announcement explicitly states that the package was available only in a right-facing orientation. The left and right sides of the truck carry different artwork; opening another example allowed the opposite side to be displayed. This first-party statement takes precedence over a secondary event table describing left- and right-facing versions. Record actual package orientation separately from the car’s asymmetric graphics.

1969 Chevy C-10 — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
What identifies an exact release?
Use multiple agreeing identifiers: casting, year, product number, wheels, body treatment, base markings and packaging where documented.
Does a matching casting name prove the release?
No. One casting can have many releases and variations across different years and assortments.
Why can a value be missing?
Exact-item completed-sale evidence may be insufficient. The guide does not substitute asking prices or unrelated releases.
Why can the reference image be missing?
The page only promotes a release image when a suitable Shopify-hosted reference is available. Missing media stays pending rather than being replaced with an unrelated image.
