Vehicle Description
Sporting a very cool two-tone color scheme and a number of inspired
modifications over its classic form, this 1969 Chevrolet C10 454
just flat out looks like it means business. The fact is, it does -
there's an expansive big block rumbling away under its hood that's
standing by and ready to propel this pickup like a rocket. Add to
that its overall exceedingly strong running condition and you have
a rare opportunity on your hands here.
This Chevy sports a color combo that really suits it well. Up
front, a pair of broad red stripes run the length of the hood while
passing over an aggressive looking scoop and are surrounded by
silver over the balance of the hood, cab and upper bed rails, which
really accentuates the dimensions of the long bed area. There's no
doubt that it's already a head-turner of serious magnitude in its
present state, but a freshening up of its paint will elevate its
appearance to a whole new level. Whether you opt to drive it just
as is - certainly a solid decision itself - or make that trip to
the paint booth, there's a lot to like here. The overall body
alignment looks strong, with that cowl hood blending in nicely with
the panels to either side of it, and a cabin that lines up well
with the bed in back. The frenched driver's side antenna provides a
nice touch of customization, as does the deleted tailgate in back,
which allows you to see the finishing handiwork that went on inside
the bed area.
There are some great touches on display inside the doors. A pair of
late model buckets replace the original seating, wearing
fresh-looking black covers with contrasting gray accents that look
to be very well fitted and in clean shape. Just beyond the
aftermarket steering wheel, the dash area has seen a revamping that
shows a lot of skilled craftsmanship, with an assortment of
white-faced aftermarket gauges recessed seamlessly into a custom
instrument bezel and a fuel pressure gauge perched at the center.
The carpeting below looks to be in very solid shape and the vacant
position for the stereo system looming above the ratcheting Hurst
shifter affords you the opportunity to finish off this classics
audio system just as you see fit. Come around to the back and
you'll appreciate the details on display in the bed area, where a
sizable fuel cell and battery box have been installed inside the
modified inner walls, one of which bears a recessed Chevy bowtie -
a great finishing touch.
C10s of this era featured sizable engine compartments, and the one
here is ably filled by an expansive 454 cubic inch V8 that provides
all the go-power you could want, with an estimated output in the
neighborhood of 600 horsepower - plenty to propel even this
substantial truck like a rocket. The big block features a Weiand
aluminum intake and a Holley 4-barrel Demon carb and has been
dressed with a pair of sharp looking chrome valve covers and a
matching compact air cleaner and exhales into a pair of headers
leading to a dual exhaust with cutouts to amplify or subdue its
fearsome note as you see fit. The 454 pairs with a rock solid
3-speed TH350, while a sizable radiator with dual electric fans has
been added to the mix to keep temperatures in check. This
ultra-powerful classic truck rolls on a set of 15" aftermarket
steel wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra Radial G/Ts in front and
massive, asphalt gripping 325 tires in back.
Classic looks, with just the right amount of customization,
combined with unparalleled power to knock you back in your seat.
