Vehicle Description
Such a clean looking classic pickup! Its vintage form combined with
subtle yet striking customization to turn heads, while rumbling
small block power stands by to propel this 1968 Chevrolet C10 with
gusto. This C10s restoration was as extensive as they come and was
completed only 162 miles ago, so this outstanding truck is ready to
provide plenty of future chapters of asphalt memories for its next
lucky owner.
If you're looking for an example of vintage restoration done right,
here it is. The quality on display is undeniable, starting with the
slick and shiny red paint (a factory shade borrowed from
Volkswagen) cloaked over the exterior - we're talking "show-off and
be proud" quality here. Step up a little closer and you'll notice
this C10's precise exterior alignment - the gaps surrounding its
hood and doors look very precise and, from front to back, all body
panels align really well. The slightly lowered stance offers a
touch more aftermarket cachet yet still leaves enough wheel
clearance to make room for those big boy 22s at each corner. The
glass surrounding the cab has a subtle tint to it, with front and
rear windshields that are protected by all new seals. That
eye-catching paint also serves as a very effective backdrop for the
fresh chrome also on board - the bumpers both fore and aft as well
as the dual side mirrors. Both handles on the doors have been
shaved and are now controlled by electronic poppers, and the gas
filler is now cleverly hidden behind the driver's side taillight.
How cool is that?!
Just as with the rest of the truck, no shortcuts were taken in
bringing the interior to its current stellar state. Everything is
new and in terrific shape, including the vinyl bench seat, door
panels, dash pad, sun visors and carpeting. The steel surfaces
inside were also color matched to blend in effectively with the new
upholstery, and all that elegant red really makes the minimal
brightwork and black components pop inside the cab. You'll find a
new set of white-face Dakota digital gauges on hand beyond the red
leather-wrapped billet steering wheel mounted on a polished tilt
column to keep tabs on vital motoring functions, an aftermarket
R134a climate control system to keep you and your passengers nice
and comfortable regardless of the weather outside, and a seamlessly
installed Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo to tend to your audio desires.
Look behind the factory big-back window and you'll see a red
spray-in liner protects the bed area, with slick red paint on the
wheel humps and inner bed walls. Every part of this truck was built
to look good.
The snarling 350 cubic inch small block V8 would definitely be at
home in a slick 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 an Edelbrock
4-barrel carburetor on an aluminum intake, and an HEI ignition
system to light it up. It looks fantastic with Chevy Orange paint
on the black, slick painted inner fenders and firewall, and finned
valve covers and an open-element air cleaner. Long-tube headers
dump into a custom dual exhaust system that tucks up into the frame
for good ground clearance on this lowered pickup and produces an
awesome soundtrack at full throttle. The 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission was built with performance in mind that makes it feel
snappy around town, and because it has overdrive, highways and
long-distance cruises are a breeze. There's also a rugged 12-bolt
rear end, probably necessary with those giant rear meats, as well
as an updated suspension that gives it that awesome stance. The
look is turned up to 11 with those 22-inch Boss Motorsport chrome
wheels wrapped in 265/35/22 performance blackwall radials
all-around.
Looking great, running strong and impeccably equipped, this 1968
Chevrolet C10 is an absolute showstopper. Call today!
