Vehicle Description
Time for everyone to be talking about your pickup. After all, the
original patina'd paint disguises a full custom A/C interior,
upgraded chassis, and 430+ hp fuel-injected stroker V8. So from the
moment they hear the rumble, to when they see the custom engine
bay, all eyes will be on you.
This looks like it was just pulled from a barn, and that's
absolutely cool. In fact, they didn't alter the original medium
olive paint from when this truck went into restoration. Instead
they gave it a nice buff and polish to highlight the patina earned
during its decades as a workhorse. But this body is all about being
secretly rewarding. From the new chrome to the good door gaps,
detail people can instantly see there was some careful work on the
exterior. And the 20-inch Budnik wheels are an instant indication
that there has been a big investment in this pickup. But before we
go into all the cool restomod details, just remember how functional
this unique build can be. You'll never worry about throwing a
hardware store run in the truck bed, and the trailer hitch hidden
behind the license plate makes you the coolest hauler to tow the
toys.
Inside is more carefully crafted custom work. This seating was
created to be reminiscent of the factory bench, but the new
comfortable plaid cloth does a great job of matching the green
interior paint. Plus, it has a nicely integrated cup holder center
console. The tan carpeting features piping that coordinates nicely
with the upholstery and door panels for a total uniform package. In
the center of the dash are controls for the ice-cold air
conditioning and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo that has everything from
Bluetooth to a full Rockford Fosgate speaker system. But the best
luxuries are reserved exclusively for the driver. You grab the
three-spoke Budnik steering wheel, and beyond that is a complete
set of Dakota Digital gauges that includes a large speedo and
tach.
Under the hood is the real treat, because the ultra-smooth inner
fender walls funnel all your attention to that bright V8. The
block, valve covers, master cylinder, and air topper have all been
custom painted, and the Mello Yello text on top tells you they knew
exactly what they were doing with the neon glow of the paint.
Beyond the style is some serious substance. You're looking at a
BluePrint Engineering 383 cubic-inch stroker crate motor that's
exceptionally fresh with less than 770 miles on the whole build. In
fact, this even still comes with a warranty! But more than just the
appeal of new, this has been fortified and enhanced for
performance. It includes fuel-injection, 10:1 hypereutectic
pistons, hydraulic roller cam, aluminum heads, aluminum AirGap
intake, HEI distributor, Hedman shorty headers, and much more (call
for all the details.) The full package is rated at 432 horsepower.
The big power package is utilized by a strong 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission with 2,200 RPM stall converter. This feeds a
12-bolt rear end with Positraction and 3.73 great for good
all-around performance. More than just big power, this is a great
all-around driver. After all, not only does the transmission have
highway-friendly overdrive, but also the large OE brass, 4 core,
radiator keeps this running cool even in traffic. And while you're
looking over this whole pickup, don't forget to check out the
undercarriage photos. There you'll see how thorough the restoration
was where even the frame was powder coated. And this is the perfect
setup for a performance pickup. With a thick sway bar up front,
newer bushings all-around, power steering, and the C10's desirable
trailing arm rear suspension, it's got some great moves of the
streets. And you'll even outmaneuver plenty of cars out there
thanks to the investment in a full Ride Tech Street Grip
suspension, extra grip of modern Toyo tires, and Baer drilled &
slotted four-wheel disc brakes.
This fresh build comes with a ton of receipts to document all the
amazing features of this custom pickup. Amazing trucks take so much
time and money to create that they rarely leave their creators. So
don't miss your rare opportunity at this patina machine that offers
the best of everything. Call today!!!
