Vehicle Description
Skillfully executed modifications on a sharp looking classic truck
foundation team with some well-chosen nods to modern technology to
make this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Restomod one awesome ride. It's logged
fewer than 3000 miles since its restoration and will arrive with
build receipts on board to document the work that's gone into
bringing it to the fine form it now shows.
The two-tone, black and white paint scheme is an inspired and
fitting choice for this classic, offering a high-impact custom look
that's still suitably vintage. When you combine high quality DuPont
paint - their Pitch Black and Arctic White are on display here -
with precise, skillful application, the result is bound to impress,
and it sure does here - this nicely modded Chevy cuts quite an
appearance. The combination of its forward inclined front grille -
which comes via a front clip lifted from a '68 Chevy counterpart -
and its aggressive, steel cowl hood gives it the appearance of
hunkering down, as if awaiting the snap of a football so that it
can bury whatever stands in front of it. The finishing details that
often make such a huge difference on a classic have been well
tended to here - the factory tinted glass surrounding the cabin is
in clean shape and sports fresh rubber seals, both the front and
rear bumpers appear to have recently been added and the alignment
of the exterior looks very precise and is capped off with clean
badging.
An impressive interior waits inside the doors, at the center of
which is a black vinyl bench seat with houndstooth check accents
looming over a floor lined with fresh black carpeting. Underneath
it, as well as throughout the rest of the cab, sound deadener has
been applied to raise the level of the driving experience this
classic Chevy offers - an experience that's been ratcheted up even
further by a custom sound system featuring a digital AM/FM stereo
with iPod connectivity that teams with kick panel speakers, as well
as subwoofers and an amplifier securely positioned behind the bench
seat to provide all the heart-thumping bass you could want. There's
a Billet Specialties steering wheel on the tilt column, and just in
front of it the dash has been brought to stellar condition with
crystal clear, factory-correct gauges in an instrument cluster
that's accented by a fresh black textured panel and a supple
looking pad running across the top. An Old Air climate control
system has been added and it blows strong through the in-dash vents
to make for a comfortable interior. The bed area looks sharp - its
floor and ramrod-straight walls wear the same high-quality DuPont
black paint as found on the exterior, and a pair of new wheel wells
add another great detail.
Mechanically-speaking, the emphasis of this vintage pickup is on
plentiful yet reliable power. The 350 cubic inch V8 sitting at the
center of its well detailed engine bay features throttle body
injection and an OBD1 port mounted under the dash for both
adjustability and dependable all-weather starts. The engine fires
right up and sounds great, sending a deep resonant note out of its
dual exhaust, while stainless steel brake and fuel lines add some
eye candy. The smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic 700r4 transmission
sitting just behind it offers a convenient overdrive gear for low
RPMs at highway speeds. A look below shows a solid undercarriage,
as well as a really sharp aluminum underbed gas tank. Power
steering and power brakes - with discs up front - provide easy
navigation and fade resistant stops as this well-built classic
pickup cruises on its set of 22" Centerline wheels wrapped with
Andsail low profile all weather tires.
