Vehicle Description
With hints of mean machine, retro, ride, and a whole lot of custom,
this 1986 Chevrolet C10 is that pickup for someone who wants people
talking about your truck long after you leave the cruise-in.
This custom pickup is striking from every angle, so we'll just
start at the front. The fascia has a great retro and custom tone
thanks to the blacked-out appearance that gives way to those bright
round headlights. And when you combine it with those push-style
bumper forks, it looks ready for the racetrack. As you move along
the body, your eyes are constantly picking up on custom elements
like the hood vents, shaved door handles, custom taillights, smooth
tailgate and the custom tonneau cover with integrated spoiler and
their brake light. There's even liner paint in the bed in case you
do decide to use this for true pickup duty! But more than just
recognizing the custom pieces, you should also appreciate the
reason why you can see them so well. Super-straight sheetmetal
combined with the level of gloss and shine on the black gives this
one instant respect. In fact, the detail work is so good, just
check out the wheels more than just steelies with cool spinner
caps, those 15-inch Super Soft 8 units have bright rivet work that
makes sure this one can impress no matter if they're across the
parking lot or one-inch away.
There's nothing better on a black exterior than a red interior.
When you open the door, the contrast between the outside paint and
the vinyl on the seats is like looking at a vampire after a fresh
kill. That description might seem like an exaggeration, but it's
necessary to try and describe the aggression this pickup radiates
just by standing next to it. But the means looks are just the
beginning. The red is part of a custom coordinated attitude that
you instantly see the moment you take a look at the dash. This
custom unit has a design borrowed from the 1959 Chevrolet. It even
has the cool pod-style gauges. But the '50s Chevys didn't come with
all these updates, like a large tach below the tilt column, cup
holders, heat/defrost sliders, a grippy three-spoke steering wheel
in a matching red, and a Schlitz beer tap handle shifter. It's a
truly thoughtful build, right down to the AM/FM cassette stereo
integrated into the headliner so that the dash can be as smooth and
clutter-free as possible.
Under the hood the red and black attitude continues as the painted
valve covers look like they are radiating power from within the
dark engine bay. And backing up this aggressive appearance is a
strong Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8 that's been enhanced with go-fast
goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and
long tube headers. That last one not only adds power, but also
contributes to the rumble of the glasspack-style dual exhaust. And
while this is a mean machine for the streets, there's much more to
this custom pickup. It has a power steering, a thick front sway
bar, front disc brakes, and four-speed automatic transmission
w/highway-friendly overdrive. So the custom that you'll love
showing off also easy to take near or far... that sound like the
perfect combo!
It's hard not to get excited about a full custom setup that's
turnkey ready right now. But if you want to hit the streets
tomorrow, you need to call today!
