Vehicle Description
Take some time to check out all the custom details of this 1969
Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne. But don't linger too long, because with the
nice two-tone paint, custom interior, and fuel-injected big block
power, this truck will be hauling out soon.
Dare we call this color Hugger Orange? It certainly looks the part
of one of Chevy's famous muscle cars with it bold and bright
presentation. And this looks particularly nice because there was an
investment in a quality restoration. The consignor is the owner of
a hot rod shop, and so no expense was spared during the frame-off
restoration 2015. That's why the panels are laser-straight and the
iconic orange looks so good. Quite frankly, this truck deserves to
be in the same league as Chevy's big muscle machines. This
aggressive attitude is highlighted even further by custom elements
like the lowered suspension, gas filler moved to a flush mount in
the bed, and 18-inch US Mags alloy wheels. But at its heart, this
C10 never loses its vintage pickup sensibilities. You see it in
areas like the white that gives this a classic a two-tone flair.
And because this is an upper-level Cheyenne, it comes with some
extra body chrome, including the upper and lower body side accents.
The straightness of these pieces is just another reminder of how
the investment in this one goes down to the details. So to do a
build like this again could easily cost you six figures.
You are reminded this is a muscle truck from the moment you open
the door. The houndstooth fabric seat inserts and the three-spoke
sports steering wheel make this '69 C10 feel like a '69 Camaro.
They look fantastic against the black and orange interior. The
investment in the interior was all about merging the worlds of
vintage and new. You see it on the door panels where the classic
Cheyenne's embossed panels meet new billet handles. Behind that is
modern Dynamat insulation for the best in comfort. The dash has a
cool classic appearance, but if you look closely, you can spot some
great upgrades. For example, that retro-style radio is really a
AM/FM digital tuner with an iPod hookup. And the heat/defrost
sliders are the gateway to a modern R134a air conditioning
system.
While there are plenty of interesting custom components on the
interior and exterior that will draw a crowd, we're willing to bet
it's what's under the hood that really brings them all to you.
Rarely do you find an engine bay this tidy with the smooth firewall
and fender walls. All of this funnels your attention to the 454
cubic-inch LS7 big block. Yes, this is the famous racer-quality big
block crate motor GM offered in the 80s. This was rebuilt less than
1,800 miles ago for road performance, and includes forged pistons,
Comp Cams 11-604-5 solid lift camshaft, Crane roller rockers, Comp
Cams Hi-Tech pushrods, multi-angle valve job, Moroso high volume
oil pump, Dart single plane intake, and a Holley Terminator fuel
injection w/with timing control. Plus, long tube headers add even
more power as they also contribute to the thunder of the X-pipe
dual exhaust. Making sure all that huge power reliably gets to the
ground is a TCI 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission that's
rated for 700 hp. This power package feels great on the road thanks
to power steering and the trailing arm rear suspension that made
these C10s famously superior riders. Add in the Wilwood four-wheel
disc brake upgrade and seriously sticky Pirelli P-Zero tires, and
this hauler is a true handler.
Complete with build receipts, it's the C10 that leaves you wanting
for nothing, and it leaves everyone else in your wake. Call
