Vehicle Description
You may note with some interest that trucks like this 1969
Chevrolet C10 sell faster than just about anything else we have in
stock. They're handsome, rugged, and with the right upgrades, a ton
of fun on the street (think: Camaro with a bed). So it is with some
urgency that I ask you to look it over, then give us a call,
because like those that have come before it this one surely won't
last long.
Lowered and bristling with horsepower, this slick C10 takes
everything that was great about these trucks and turns it up to 11.
Note the billet grille, the perfect stance, and the shaved rear
bumper, all of which suggest there's more to this pickup than just
hauling lumber. The sizzling bright red paint gives it a
high-impact attitude that works neatly the aggressive details,
making most folks do a double-take when they see it because it
looks exactly right. Finish quality is good all around, not
perfect, but nice enough to be worth of the attention that it
generates on the street. A few chrome accents like the relatively
fresh front bumper and high-mounted side mirror, as well as the
billet grille insert, gives it a well-detailed look that will never
go out of style. The bed is still ready to work, too, thanks to a
spray-in bedliner that was color-matched to the bodywork.
The handsome black interior keeps things subtle but on-point, using
stock materials to emulate the factory look and tie it together
with the exterior. A few modern details have been added in the
interest of comfort and performance, most notably the white-faced
gauges, a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel, and a tilt steering
column, but it still feels like a vintage truck. The tooled vinyl
seat cover is how it would have been originally and the red accents
brighten up the interior nicely. There's an aftermarket A/C unit
under the dash, and it integrates so nicely you'd almost think it's
an OEM installation. There's also a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo neatly
installed in the center of the dash, and it feeds new speakers in
the door panels. New carpets, heavy-duty floor mats, and tinted
windows round out the list of upgrades that make this truck a
pleasure to drive.
The snarling 350 cubic inch small block V8 would definitely be at
home in an early Camaro, and this relatively lightweight pickup
makes good use of the horsepower on tap. It's based on a 4-bolt
block, and all the good stuff is here, including a Comp Cams
valvetrain with a lopey camshaft, 76cc heads, a 760 Holley
carburetor on a matching intake, and an HEI ignition system to
light it up. It looks fantastic with Chevy Orange paint and a few
polished aluminum dress-up pieces and chrome accessories. Long-tube
headers dump into a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system that
tucks up into the frame for good ground clearance on this lowered
pickup and produce an awesome soundtrack at full throttle. The
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission was built with performance in
mind and includes a 2800 RPM TCI stall torque converter that makes
it feel snappy around town. There's also a rugged 12-bolt rear end,
probably necessary with those giant rear meats, as well as a Bell
Tech suspension that gives it that awesome stance. Add in a custom
gas tank and those slick Torque Thrust B wheels for a traditional
look, and it wears 235/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear blackwall
radials.
If you like the look, you're going to love how it runs. Like I
said, this truck probably won't last long, especially after the
first guy comes in for a test drive. Call today!
