Vehicle Description
"Polished" would be a good one-word description for this truck.
Outside, inside, and under the hood, it has been upgraded,
detailed, and yes, polished, to a high gloss. Pickups are more
popular than ever these days and builds like this are one reason
why. Full disclosure: Several buffing wheels were harmed in the
building of this ride.
The orange paint on this truck is awesome, really highlighting the
curves and creases of this popular body style. Up front, a simple
grill is surrounded by nice brightwork and complimented by the
chrome bumper. Looking up you notice the nice little bump of the
cowl induction hood with the emblem hinting at what lurks below it.
You can't polish rubber, but the seals on the windshield, windows,
and doors shine, because they're all new. The door handles,
mirrors, rear bumper and sweet Duolamp tail lights also shine like
new, because they are too. Drop the tailgate with the Chevrolet
letters that are painted in chrome, and take a look at the effort
spent on the bed. Step sides have clean looking inner panels to
begin with, but these received the same love that the rest of the
truck did, and are complimented by the beautifully finished wood
and trim. Set this all on Billet Specialties center spin style
wheels for a great look to a classic Chevy truck.
You may want to make sure you have your sunglasses on if it's a
sunny day when you open the door to check out the interior. Those
chromed door panels are really striking! The black with orange
houndstooth bench seat is comfortable and invites you right in.
There you are greeted by a beautiful three spoke steering wheel
with a bow tie horn button mounted on a tilt steering column.
Behind it are stock gauges that look awesome, because, of course,
the bezels are polished. In the center of the dash is a chromed
vent, just to stay in character. A Pioneer head unit, which is iPod
compatible, pumps through Pioneer speakers in the kick panels.
Below the stereo are the ventilation controls, including for the
R-134A air conditioning, and below those is a control panel for the
air ride suspension on this truck.
Open the hood and take a peek at this killer motor. It's a 383
Stroker V-8, with an MSD ignition system from module to plugs.
Topping that powerful core is a Jim Inglese 8-Stack Weber
carburetor system with chrome velocity stacks. It looks awesome,
and it is awesome. The rest of the engine compartment is dressed
for the show too. The inner fender wells and firewall shine like
the outside of the body, and, let's use that word again here,
because almost everything is polished and shines like a mirror in
this engine compartment. Covers for the radiator and fan shroud,
the A/C compressor and alternator, brake master cylinder and
booster, valve covers and the headers too. There are also braided
fuel lines and billet pulleys to help get the job done, and an
automatic trans gets all that power back to a 12-bolt rear end.
275/60R16 tires in the rear, and 235/70R16s in the front, sit on
that air ride suspension to give the truck a nice stance.
Come on down and check out this special C-10. Bring your sunglasses
with you, then bring this truck home with you.
