Vehicle Description
Combining classic looks with well-executed modifications, modern
technology and outstanding craftsmanship, this Chevrolet C10 is as
fine an example of a 70's era vintage truck as you're likely to
find. Fresh off a thorough and exacting restoration, it's more than
ready to begin its next chapter for some very fortunate
enthusiast.
The first thing you're likely to notice is the striking Flame Red
exterior. Get a little closer and you'll appreciate the paint job
even more - smooth glossiness everywhere you look, without a hint
of orange peel in sight. The chrome from front to back is looking
great - much of it is new - including both bumpers and the front
grille, which you'll notice is a 1970 piece. The headlight and
taillight bezels have the same "showroom" look to them as well and
the new crystal-clear glass you'll find on both the front and back
windshields really accents the overall quality look of this truck.
Up front, the unique custom hood sports a beefier look and a scoop
that's been seamlessly installed. In back, you'll find a custom
fiberglass bed cover exceptionally well fitted to its surrounding
metal. With nice tight seams between panels - and doors and a hood
that open and close very smoothly, as well - this C10 was obviously
reassembled with a lot of care. It sits with a nearly level,
relatively low stance, but with plenty of tire clearance for real
world road conditions.
The same high standards were applied to the interior. Inside,
there's a pair of virtually brand new black vinyl bucket seats with
intricate detailing mirrored by the door panels on each side, and
between them is a custom center console that adds functionality
while blending in perfectly with its surroundings. Having logged
just 35 miles since restoration certainly does have its advantages.
Take a look through the custom steering wheel and you'll see that
the dash area carries the same Torch Red color to match the
exterior and it's accented by a black instrument cluster carrying
all new Dakota Digital gauges. A couple of other modern creature
comforts have been added, as well, and blend in perfectly with the
vintage look of this interior, including an Ididit tilt column and
a Vintage Air climate control system that not only blows out
through registers centrally located above the iPod-compatible
stereo, but also through a pair of custom chrome a/c registers at
both ends of the dash area. Below, the fresh expanse of black
carpeting is ornamented by a pair of floor mats bearing the
signature Chevy bowtie.
Inside an immaculate engine compartment with flat black sides and a
Torch Red firewall, you'll see a freshly rebuilt Chevy 350 V8, just
as this C10 rolled off the St. Louis assembly line with. This
powerplant received a top to bottom rebuild and outfitted with a
Holley 4-barrel carb, boasts 300hp of output. It's paired to a
700R4 4 speed automatic transmission that features both a fairly
low first gear ratio for improved off the line acceleration and
overdrive to keep highway revs reasonably low. The 350 is accented
by a pair of custom flat black valve covers and matching air
cleaner. Up front, there's a generously-sized Griffin aluminum
radiator that's paired with dual electric fans, so stop and go
conditions should present no overheating concerns. With power
brakes at all four corners (discs in front) and power steering,
stopping power and easy navigating are covered, as well. Below, the
undercarriage looks exceptional - even for a new restoration - and
the tubular control arms up front are a nice touch. This
exceptionally eye-catching vintage truck sits on a set of 16"
American Racing wheels, wrapped in Firestone Destination
blackwalls.
