Vehicle Description
This C10 is both mild and wild. At first sight, it looks pretty
conservative in its simple Silver and Black paint job. However, as
you get closer, you realize that the paint job is really something
special, and that the wild side of this truck is on the inside.
Check it out.
You could describe this paint job as "deceptively simple". The
devil is in the details, and the results are outstanding. Before a
single drop of paint was sprayed on this truck, the surfaces were
prepared so that it would look super smooth and slick when it was
done. From the side, the body line that runs along the bottom and
up over the wheel wells is obvious just because of the way the
light catches it. Black traces around the upper surface of the
hood, accentuating the cowl induction power bulge, then flows back
around the windshield pillar and door frame. Some outstanding
custom pinstriping work adds some nice flourishes and traces the
border between the colors. A simple silver grill flanked by LED
headlights is underlined by a sharp looking chrome bumper. At the
rear, the look is kept super clean by only featuring more of that
trick pinstriping work. Staggered Vision wheels in Black balance
out the look perfectly and add a nice bit of chassis rake to the
picture.
When you open the door, you will get a taste of the wild side of
this truck. There you will find a Bright Green and Black interior
that, yes, is wild, but is also very tastefully done. The door
panel is black with a green bowtie and is held in place by silver
brushed metal strips top and bottom. There is a comfortable bench
seat with pleated green seating surfaces trimmed in smooth black
vinyl with green piping. A GT steering wheel is mounted on a chrome
4-spoke hub with an Autogage Tachometer mounted on the column. The
dash is green with a black upper pad and a chrome insert houses
Dolphin gauges for the speedometer as well as tach, water temp, oil
pressure, fuel and voltage. An AM/FM and iPod compatible stereo is
mounted in the center for your listening pleasure and black
carpeting ties the look of the interior together nicely.
Pop the hood and you will find another surprise that falls on the
wild side. It is an LS1 5.3-liter Vortech motor sourced from a
2000-year model truck that has been nestled down in this neat and
clean engine bay. A cold air intake frees up the airflow in, while
headers get the spent gasses out efficiently to dual mufflers that
turn down just ahead of the rear axle. A nice little splash of
bright green dresses out the valve covers and an aluminum radiator
keeps things running cool. Power flows back through a 4-speed
automatic transmission sourced from the same truck as the engine,
so everything works together just like it should, and this truck
runs strong! The rear axle is located by trailing arms and sits on
coil springs which work together nicely with the control arm front
suspension which makes for a great handling truck. The rubber meets
the road through 265/40R22s on the back and 255/40R20s in the front
mounted on those awesome looking Vision Legend series wheels.
Mild and wild. A bit of a sleeper with its conservative looks from
a distance but with an LS1 under the hood. Come on down and check
it out. You will be able to bring whichever side you wish out to
the forefront when you roll this sweet ride into town.
