About American Society for the Preservation of C10's

Our mission

  

ASPC10 is working to unite a community of enthusiasts and owners dedicated to preserving and restoring these timeless vehicles, while giving back through education, outreach, and the gifting of a restored classic to a deserving hero through our Truck for a Hero campaign.

Secondary Mission

  

In addition to preserving automotive history and supporting our heroes, ASPC10 is committed to educating and training the next generation of automotive craftsmen. Through each Truck for a Hero restoration, veterans, youth, and underrepresented individuals gain hands on experience in mechanical repair, restoration, and craftsmanship learning real skills that open doors to future career opportunities. 

Regions we support

 We are based in Tennessee and primarily serve the state, while also providing support in Oklahoma and Florida as we continue to expand nationally. 

Our Purpose

 

We exist to:

  1. Preserve and restore classic GM/Chevrolet trucks as part of American automotive heritage.
     
  2. Honor veterans, first responders, teachers, and other community heroes through our Truck for a Hero program that are in need.
     
  3. Provide hands on automotive restoration experiences to veterans, youth, and individuals interested in skilled trades once our programs are fully funded.
     

We believe restoration is more than mechanical work it is about restoring dignity, opportunity, and pride.

Our Founding Vision

 

 ASPC10 was founded on the belief that classic trucks bring people together and that community can be a force for good.
 

Our long-term goals include:

  • Completing our first Truck for a Hero in 2026
     
  • Supporting multiple heroes via Truck for a Hero annually
     
  • Developing structured restoration training partnerships
     
  • Building a nationwide network of restoration partners, educators, and volunteers
