Vehicle Description
If Elon Musk had put two cars up in his space garage, he would have
sent this '69 C10 as a compliment to his Tesla Roadster. It looks
ready for the flight with its custom body and interior, and the
built 502 V8 could have been used as an auxiliary booster. But he
didn't send it up with the Roadster, so you have the opportunity to
buy this truck here on earth. Check it out.
Neat and clean is an understatement in describing this truck. It
starts up front with bumper that is rolled into the rest of the
bodywork. Custom headlights and running lights are faired in and
the whiteout grill and trim blends everything together nicely. From
there on back, the smooth, clean lines that Chevy graced this truck
with when they designed it take over down the side. Only the custom
door handles and mirrors break the solid white beauty of the
basecoat/clearcoat paint job which accentuates the lines. Flat
chrome exhaust tips peek out from under the body just in front of
those massive rear tires, and the tailgate remains super clean with
the gate release hidden on the inside, and the same rolled
treatment as the front. Weathered wood slats in the bed with
polished trim are a nice touch and a splash of color that
compliments the interior nicely.
Open the door and get ready for a double helping of custom work.
The first thing you see is the tan door panel which was crafted to
match the headliner and carpeting nicely. Then you see the dash and
console work, and well, it might take you a minute to catch your
breathe. There is a chrome tilt steering column with a three-spoke
leather wrapped wheel. A very custom, integrated dash and console
stretches across this cab. White faced Pro Comp Auto meter gauges
are tucked back in their nests with the critical engine gauges in
the center canted toward the driver. A Vintage Air control panel is
set low on the panel just in front of the B&M shifter for the
automatic trans wrapped up in its tan boot. Leather seats are as
comfortable as they look, and the center console has plenty of room
with multiple compartments to stash your stuff in.
Now go ahead and pop the hood but be ready to be stunned once
again. The firewall and fenders are an expanse of pure white with
the black and chrome engine sitting in the center. It's a sweet
looking installation with hidden A/C hoses letting you see the
Hooker Super Comp headers in all their glory. But that engine is
more nasty than sweet. At 502 cubic inches, it has a bit of
attitude to it. A chromed LT1 fuel injection manifold tops the
motor which feeds a polished high-rise intake, and chrome Bowtie
valve covers add another big pile of shine to the engine bay. There
is a serpentine belt setup with custom pulleys and mounts turning
the accessories, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
keeps things running cool. A 9" Currie differential located by a
multilink rear end sits on adjustable coil over shocks and sends
the power to the ground through huge 31x18.00R20LT tires mounted on
Boyd Coddington wheels. 28x10x18s handle the steering duties at the
front.
Pictures of this truck look great. This description helps in a few
areas. But seeing and hearing this truck up close and personal is
how you should really experience it. Come on down and check it
out.
