Vehicle Description
Sometimes the best custom cruiser is really a truck. This well done
1968 Chevrolet C10 has the right look, V8 upgrades, and attitude to
be a great head tuner to drive everywhere.
The first thing you notice about this truck is the paint. The
medium metallic blue is a great modern color that helps it
instantly identify with its custom nature. The white roof and
matching white lettering on the tailgate give this one a cool
two-tone appearance. Plenty of bright chrome and trim complement
this custom setup. Plus, the large 20-inch American Racing alloys
on the lowered suspension are instant attention-grabbers. But even
with all these custom elements, it's the body built by Chevy that's
the biggest attraction. These stepside pickups were originally
built for a functional purpose, but now their rarity has made them
a highly desired stylized touch on the vintage market. One of the
reasons for this, too, is they still carry the real wood in the
bed. The allure is especially true on this one where the gloss on
the lumber tells you there was a recent investment here.
Inside this pickup showcases a muscle car-like attitude. The
exterior blue returns on the metal parts, but now it's complemented
by a deep black. It starts with the fresh vinyl on the bench seat.
This coordinates nicely with the newer door panels and carpeting.
The sporting attitude continues when you grab the classic Chevy
performance three-spoke sports steering wheel with your left hand,
and let your right one rest on the Lokar shifter.
Under the hood is where this truck really sizzles. The 350
cubic-inch V8 looks like it's radiating power from within the dark
engine bay. Ribbed valve covers, a matching shiny air topper, and
bold Chevy orange looks terrific. Clean fender walls and hidden
wires make sure that nothing gets in the way of this impressive
engine. More than just look great, this one was built to be a true
runner. That's why the V8 was upgraded with go-fast goodies like a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and Headman headers
that add power as they enhance the rumble of the dual exhaust.
Plus, there has been a solid investment in overall reliability with
newer components like the master cylinder and radiator. If this is
starting to sound like the perfect cruiser, then don't forget to
check out the undercarriage photos. There, you'll see a big
investment in an upgraded front suspension, and these C10s are
desirable for their trailing arm rear suspension. Add in a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc
brakes, and the grip of Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires, you've got a
stellar all-around driving package.
Here's a turn-key classic pickup with a head-turning appearance.
And it also has all the right driving upgrades. A total package
like this never waits for long, so hurry up and call today!
