Vehicle Description
This 1979 Chevrolet C10 Stepside is far from stock, but you already
knew that from the first impression. But beyond the glossy paint
and shiny wheels is a comfortable A/C interior and a fresh stroker
V8. So you really can have all you want for a value price.
You're looking at a very custom pickup, and you can instantly tell
there was a ton invested in this one. So while we have over $18k in
receipts for this recent build, all you really have to do to
appreciate the hard work is see the modern gray paint's metallic
element radiate in the sunshine. The stepside bed has a great
flared fender appearance that really has helped start the vintage
custom truck movement, and there's a good amount of time invested
in making this whole pickup look exceptionally unique. You can see
it up front with the mirror-like chrome bumper and a blacked-out
version of the Chevrolet grille. Along the sides there's the smooth
body with a crisp crease line that erases decades of going to work.
In the rear there's more chrome on the bumper, but the real treat
is the fresh lumber in the bed. After all, part of the stepside's
appeal was that they still used real wood truck beds. It's all
finished off with an aggressive stance thanks to those large
20-inch US Mags wheels on a lowered suspension.
Inside is the right comfort you want from a truck like this. The
gray cloth bench is quite comfortable, and the door panels still
carry some of styled inserts that remind us of vintage premium
C10s. These Chevy trucks were famous for a dash that wrapped around
you, and so it's an easy reach to everything, including the factory
air conditioning controls. And when you grab the updated Chevrolet
steering wheel and spot the Sun Super Pro tach, it tells your
senses to be ready for something special even before you twist the
key and hear this one growl.
When you open the hood, you'll instantly note how fresh the V8
looks. That's because it was installed only about 500 miles ago.
More than just clean, this powerplant is mean. It's a 383
cubic-inch stroker motor that has been further enhanced with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, MSD ignition,
and Hedman long tube headers that add even more power as they
contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. And while this is a
terrific upgrade in power, they didn't forget the details, too.
That's why you'll see belts, wires, hoses, brackets, and plenty of
other components upgraded, too. They even added a 4L60E four-speed
automatic transmission to be both stout enough for the extra power
and provide overdrive comfort on the highway. And speaking of
highway driving, the dual fuel tanks make this a great classic for
the long haul. Add in plenty of fresh suspension components, power
steering, front disc brakes, and the modern grip of Toyo Proxes
tires, and this is a superior cruising pickup.
This is a fully-built custom pickup that's easy to live with every
day. Who knew standing out in all the best ways could be so
affordable. Call today!!!
