Vehicle Description
This 1969 "Hell Truck" C10 short-bed pickup was the revealed truck
at the 2019 ARMO of SEMA booth (ARMO is the Automotive Restoration
Market Organization of SEMA, the actual council of SEMA). The goal
was to work with SEMA and demonstrate the ultimate build with the
highest quality in craftsmanship, specialty equipment and parts on
the market. The body and most of the paint of this patina truck is
original, but everything else is not. Using parts that are stock
OEM to the most radical customized components offered on the
market, this truck was the ultimate build to demonstrate the
markets current abilities. Commissioned by ARMO and built by
Lonestar Brothers of North Texas, there were no budget limitations.
The 707hp Hellcrate 6.2-liter V8 engine and the matching ZF 8-speed
automatic electronic-shift transmission are both brand-new Mopar
units with a full factory warranty, including the complete Mopar
wire harness. The frame is a complete boxed custom frame unit for
the specifics of this build and parts. The suspension and steering
include rack & pinion power steering, four-corner QA1 coilovers and
a Moser 9-inch with limited slip. Stopping this Hell Truck is
provided by 6-piston Wilwood brakes with Hydroboost and
stainless-steel brakes lines. The wheels are custom cut, 22x14"
rear with 22x8.5" front, from solid billet. The interior is all
handmade using matching-color vintage NOS Cadillac cloth inserts,
C10 original Buddy bucket seats, modern air conditioning and the
electric transmission shift controller was installed in the custom
center console. To radiate the power of the 707hp, a Varex
stainless-steel switchable exhaust system was installed, giving you
a hidden ability to run a street-legal sound to a full open
straight exhaust for maximum performance.
