Chevy C10 trucks can be seen at every classic car show around the country. The C10, and squarebody, have become the platform to build your favorite truck from back in the day.
C10s are so popular many events have decided to host just these Chevy trucks from the years 1960 to 1987.
As a side note, I’ve written an article about the differences of the Chevy C10 through the years which you can find here.

Hi! Just saw there is also a big show missing from this list- the c10 Shindig in Independence Missouri on July 17, 2021. I have never been to it just stumbled upon it while searching up some c10 shows….hope this helps (it appears like it is likewise a fairly large c10 show so it may be of interest to some folks!)
Two more shows to add- Somernites Cruise Truckin’ Nationals” July 22 & 23rd , 2022 in Somerset Kentucky. I have been to this and it is a great time, loads of squarebody trucks, blazers & suburbans, they have guest appearances and lots of other stuff to do as well. Very well organized show & they give away a truck each year- Hotels fill up fast (the sponsored one is full as of today). 2nd show- the Square Body Farm Show- Richmond Indiana. This is also a good time with a great turnout- traditionally it has been held on the 1st Saturday in August (6th) although I do not see this years official date posted yet.
Adding a few more: For those of you who like to drive the truck (me being one of those personally), I cant wait to do Truckin’ the Trace, located in Tupelo, MS on October 15th free event 10-3, GM trucks only can drive the scenic “trace” strip (as well as a swap meet, food trucks and vendors at the starting/ending location) For info you can call 615-581-1007. There was a shop truck gathering in Cave City Kentucky this year (a very cool place for tourism by the way) and this was a 1st ever show but should be continued on the last Saturday in July for next year, tentative time of 9 am-3pm (for more info call Todd Johnson 270-834-9155) This years cost was $15 per truck entrant. Finally- and also new this year is the Southern Illinois Truck Showdown in Marion Illinois on September 3 (Saturday) at Rent One Park from 9am-4 pm, $20 entry fee, swap meet, vendors, food and for info [email protected] or call 618-841-9327 over 300 trucks are already committed so it sounds like a good one!
And another- I cut and paste directly from the post:
