Vehicle Description
Fresh from a frame off restoration, with both the build receipts
and restoration photos to chronicle the process, this 1970
Chevrolet C10 pickup could rest on its aesthetic awesomeness alone.
However, factor in its unique additional features, and you'll find
it's not just a stellar custom truck, but also a veritable
entertainment machine on wheels, as well.
We've always been fans of the '70s era C10's look, both in stock
and custom configurations, but this is one specimen that stands
out, even in strong company. Decked out in a ruby red metallic
paint job that really accentuates those rugged good looks, the
truck has a decidedly custom shade, but not so drastic as to be
distracting. That impressive paint job is accessorized with a very
clean and aggressive looking front grille, straight and unblemished
bumpers in both front and back, and fresh rubber seals surrounding
the windshield that all combine to make this C10 look as road-ready
and vital as can be. From front to back, the body contours line up
well and give no outward indication of the customization lurking
just behind the doors - the entire bed can be raised at an angle to
display a 50" television in its optimum viewing position (think
tailgating), in essence making this already coveted truck all the
more so at your favorite event.
That very substantial asset aside, this is a great looking truck
both inside and out. Open the driver's side door to climb inside
and you'll see a seriously impressive interior. The bench seat
features a tuck and roll look, is comfortably upholstered and
decked out in an eye-catching two-tone color scheme that's mirrored
by the door panels on each side. Direct your gaze forward and
you'll see a few features that really add to the driving experience
of this truck. Just beyond the custom steering wheel and tilt
column, a set of fresh Iequus gauges sits inside the black backdrop
of the instrument cluster to monitor your motoring functions, and
the aftermarket climate control system is in fine form, ready and
able to keep your occupants comfortable. While an unassuming
looking AM radio sits front and center on the dash, the beefiness
of the speakers residing in the kick panels provides a hint that
there's likely more audio firepower on board than meets the eye.
And so there is - no less than a dynamo of an AM/FM sound system
that's powered by two 300 watt amps and features a set of
subwoofers that reside just behind the bench seat. The system
features USB and Bluetooth connectivity, so you're not likely to
run out of listening options any time soon. The bed itself is quite
a focal point as well - lined with well-prepped wood, interspersed
with chrome supports.
Mechanically-speaking, this truck is aptly configured to be a
driver as well as an attention magnet. A 350-cubic inch Chevy V8
sits under the hood, outfitted with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb, a
serpentine belt system, and an HEI distributor and gives off a
great sounding exhaust note through its 3" Flowmasters. It's paired
with a 700r4 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission that's geared
to provide both exhilarating off-the line performance, as well as
low revs on the highway. In addition to all the standout features
it's sporting, this C10 is also a nice easy driver - outfitted with
both power steering and power brakes. This exceptional vintage
custom truck sits on a set of chrome 18" Vision rims, outfitted
with Lexani Ex-Thirty tires.
