Vehicle Description
If you're looking to make a big, definitive statement with your
custom pickup, check out this 1972 Chevrolet C10. It features a
high impact, well-executed exterior, a well-equipped and nicely
detailed interior, serious big block power under the hood and it
would be a force to be reckoned with on the local car show circuit.
With just a tad over 1300 miles logged on its build, it also holds
the promise of plenty of fun-filled miles ahead.
With its painted bright green flames set against a dark green
background, this truck will stand out in any crowd. Not just
because of its sheer boldness, though that's certainly there, too,
but because of just how much craft the paint scheme shows. Look
closely and you can see an unusual amount of detail - it appears
the flames are coming from inside the car itself and the 3D effect
is really powerful. Up front, a killer-looking billet grille looms
above the table-straight front bumper with LED headlights on its
sides, and a tastefully-sized scoop sits on the hood. As you take
in this classic truck from the side, you can't help but notice the
offset of the wheels - it strikes a great balance, providing an
aggressive, aftermarket look and displaying the custom wheels
perfectly without being excessive. There's plenty of fit and finish
to match the craftsmanship on display - the trim throughout looks
good, there's clean, clear glass surrounding the cabin and
everything from front to back is well-aligned.
The interior reflects the same bold, yet well-executed design found
outside. The black tweed bench seat reflects the light usage this
truck has seen, with no real signs of wear on its surface, and it -
along with the door panels, headliner and an absolutely
show-stopping custom billet steering wheel - ably echoes the flame
motif displayed across the hood and front fenders. When you climb
inside to take a hold of that custom steering wheel, with the
pistol grip shifter in the other hand, you can't help but feel a
sense of power. In front of you sits a very finished looking dash
area, with a full complement of AutoMeter gauges in the instrument
cluster. There's plenty of comfort to go along with all the
dynamics - the air conditioning is in great form to cool you and
your passengers and a Kenwood CD player with iPod connectivity
offers plenty of audio options. In back, a pair of struts securely
holds the bed cover in its raised position, and underneath you can
see that the lined bed is looking straight, with no evidence of any
major mishaps.
All the components are in place to ensure that the bite of this
high-impact custom truck matches its aggressive bark. A 6.2-liter
GM LS3 sits at the foundation of a very strong drivetrain, sending
well in excess of 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque to the
rear wheels via a rock-solid 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission
that's efficiently sent to the asphalt by the 3.73 posi-traction
rear end. With the shift kit that's been installed, you'll be able
to extract every last RPM - so when you step down on the
flame-patterned billet throttle pedal, be prepared to be pinned
back to your seat. A nicely-sized aluminum radiator sits up front
to keep temperatures down in more demanding conditions. 4-wheel
Wilwood power disc brakes provide plenty of fade-resistant stopping
ability and smooth power steering makes this custom Chevy an easy
navigator as it cruises the boulevard on its set of 20" Ridler
wheels outfitted with Toyo tires.
