Vehicle Description
That gun metal like finish and the deep throaty rumble coming from
under the cowl hood lets you know that something special is
approaching. This 1980 Chevrolet C10 Pro Street is a square-bodied
beast of a truck. It features plenty of big block power, as well as
some well-executed modifications both inside and out that not only
provide it with undeniable head-turning ability, but also with a
driving experience you won't grow tired of.
The graphite metallic shade draped over this Chevy's rugged
exterior brings out its best and is in strong condition, accented
by hand-painted silver ghost flames up front that are a bit subtler
than most you come across and they really add a nice, distinctive
look. C10s of this era featured robust rectangular grilles to
complement the sharp edges of their front clips and the one here is
a great representative, with its jet black interior and clear pair
of dual headlights residing inside. The bumpers in both front and
back are in fine shape - they sport a nice shine, sit level and
don't show evidence of any mishaps. Just a brief polishing applied
to the side mirrors and this truck will have the meter pegged on
curb appeal. Swing around to the back and you'll see how skilled
craftsmanship has cleared the way for some massive rubber in back
without leaving any Frankenstein-ish patchwork in the process. In
fact, the exterior alignment on this classic is solid from front to
back.
The interior has been redone in style while still holding true to
this truck's no-nonsense identity. The bench seat features a black
tweed cover that's matched by the door panels to either side, as
well as the headliner, dash pad and sun visor for a well-finished,
cohesive look. The seating's well-padded condition and fresh look
indicates it hasn't seen all that much activity since being
installed and all the components for its factory air conditioning
look to be in place but it does look to need servicing to get back
online. Same goes for the AM/FM/CD radio that's been installed.
It's like the intent was to let the engine sing your tunes while
rolling with the windows down for full effect. An updated Chevy
steering wheel sits on a tilting column and if you peer through it,
you'll see that the factory gauges in the cluster are still clear
and easily readable. The bed area in back is in very solid shape -
the well-crafted, tubbed wheelhouses let you know that there's
massive rubber just below.
This Chevy wields some serious power. The big block sitting under
the hood began as a 454 before being bored out to a full 468 cubic
inches. It features a pair of Brodix heads, as well as an Edelbrock
Performer intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carb, to make the
most out of its substantial displacement and it sounds great as it
exhales into its aftermarket headers leading to dual exhausts. The
3-speed automatic TH350 transmission situated just behind it has
been outfitted with dual transmission coolers, so its well-equipped
to handle inspired driving, and a fuel cell replaces the original
tank for an added measure of safety. Power brakes that feature
discs up front, as well as power steering, are on board so this C10
handles easily and stops promptly on its set of 15" Weld Alumastar
wheels that feature massive, asphalt-grabbing Mickey Thompson
Sportsmans in back.
A great looking exterior, well-finished interior and loads of big
block power make this 1980 C10 Pro Street a standout in the world
of custom trucks. Call today!
