Vehicle Description
This 1968 GMC C10 1500 Custom Prostreet is a full build that's so
fresh, there's only about 350 miles on it. It declares it's
something different with the ultra-low stance dialed-in by the air
ride suspension, but there's so much going on here. The
leather-lined custom interior, updated chassis, and a 700 hp LS3
supercharged V8 all prove the glossy wood in the truck bed is only
for taking home trophies.
The air ride suspension means you can watch jaws drop at the same
rate as the truck's body. But even when you have this one at a
normal cruising height, you can instantly tell it's something
special. The teal and white two-tone have a classic 1960s style,
but the level of gloss and shine is unmistakable from a quality
modern application. Plus, this has the straight sheetmetal and
immaculate brightwork in the grille and bumpers that tell you that
this is no workhorse. The back window has a cool graphic with "It's
only money," and we know exactly why. One receipt from the build
documents some components (and none of the labor,) and it was still
nearly $75k! One of the noticeable recipients of this big
investment were the 20-inch American Racing wheels done in a mean
matte black. Not only do you have extra wide rear ones, but also
they expertly tuck into this custom build whenever the truck is
lowered. In fact, when you roll back the tonneau cover, people may
be too busy looking at the glossy wood in the bed to realize the
floor was expertly raised to accommodate the upgraded suspension.
And everything from the side integrated exhaust tips, to the way
this gave a set or headlights for added air intake all signal that
this is one powerful pickup.
The moment you open the door, the line is immediately blurred
between pickup truck and exotic sports car. The pattern in the
leather TMI seat will remind you of a Ferrari, and the door panels
are custom matched. And so it's no accident that the big yellow
tach on the full Classic Instruments Auto Cross gauge set looks
like it came from the Italian sports car, too. You have the best in
performance-ready pieces, like the RaceQuip harnesses and a
wood-rimmed Momo steering wheel. There's also the right comfort
pieces, like a tilt steering column, R134a air conditioning, a
Ridetech interface to adjust the suspension, and an AM/FM/CD stereo
with Bluetooth.
Under the hood is the real treat, because within the ultra-smooth
fender walls lies a fuel-injected LS3 V8. In fact, this is listed
as an enlarged E-Force forged 416 cubic-inch motor with a
supercharger. This is a fully built kit that was over a $25k
investment all on its own. But it was worth it, because these are
known to produce over 700 horsepower on pump gas right out of the
box! It fires up with the ease of a modern machine, and the
header-fed dual exhaust makes sure people know this is no farm
machine (it's really a barn burner!) To handle all this power, a
4L85e four-speed transmission was added that was specially built
for a great everyday balance - including a shift kit for
performance driving and overdrive for easy cruising. A pickup like
this can bring some big power to the streets, and that's why the
independent front suspension has been upgraded to Heidts tubular
arms. The rear is now a strong four-link. And yes, they are all
full adjustable as part of the air ride system, so you can park
this at your favorite car show and drop it all the way to the
ground so it "lays body". Completing this driver-friendly feeling
is a full Wilwood drilled and slotted four-wheel disc brake
package, power steering, and the grip of Mickey Thompson tires in
the rear.
Oh yeah, now you know why this is a six-figure creation, and you
also know it's being offered huge discount over what it would cost
to replicate this custom pickup. So don't delay, or this
supercharged GMC might be gone. Call today!!!
