Vehicle Description
We could tell you this 1982 Chevrolet C10 is a full machine custom,
but your eyes already told you that with its first impression. So
look over all the details where you can see how there was a big
investment over every inch to upgrade the adjustable suspension, V8
power, vibrant appearance, and much more.
Most vintage Chevy trucks of this era stand out because of their
beefy body lines, but this one is memorable for so much more. A
custom two-tone pearlescent white and orange paint job would
already be enough for people to take notice. However, the blue
flames expertly laid down to separate the two colors creates the
kind of striking appearance that's absolutely unforgettable. Sharp
eyes will notice the presence of an artful red pinstripe around
flames, too. It adds to the sharpness of this truck's hallmark
feature. And while this full custom paintwork gives this pickup its
own gravity of attraction, that's just the tip of the custom work
performed. The front bumper was painted to match the body, and the
billet grille hides the front headlights for a retro-future kind of
attraction. While much of the body trim was expertly deleted, they
did add a dual-scoop cowl hood. And just to make sure you notice
it, there are custom flames painted on top. A lot of nice trucks
have a hard tonneau cover to give the bed a smoother look, but this
one take it to the extreme by deleting the rear bumper and creating
a rear end. Those 24-inch wheels now represent this truck's biggest
piece of brightwork. But their true memorable feat is when they
tuck under the body on-demand when you lower the adjustable air
ride suspension.
The interior of this truck is about plenty of function and even
some flair. The carpeting, door panels, and bench seat are done in
a basic black. The dash is a tasteful gray with a soft pad on top.
You'll slip behind the upgraded sports steering wheel, and the tilt
column gives you a comfortable setup with an easy view to the
gauges. The full package was upgraded with AutoMeter readouts,
including a large speedo and tach w/shift light. The dash wraps
around you, and so it's an easy reach to things like the upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo (w/upgraded speakers) and the controls for the air
ride suspension.
Grab your sunglasses before opening the hood. Because sitting in
the middle of the dark engine bay is a shining heart. There was
plenty invested in polished components, but what we love the best
is how the block and valve covers were specially painted to match
the metallic blue of the exterior's custom flames. More than just
look awesome, this 350 cubic-inch V8 also delvers proper power. It
has been upgraded with a Quick Fuel Slayer four-barrel carburetor,
high rise aluminum intake, and Hooker headers that add power while
contributing to the rumble of the Flowmaster center-exit dual
exhaust. This even has nice supporting components, like a polished
serpentine belt system, Summit in-line fuel pressure gauge, Taylor
Pro wires, an Optima red top battery, and an aluminum radiator
w/dual electric fans. We bet you also noticed how the inner fenders
were removed up front to help get this truck lower to the ground.
In the rear, the upgraded trailing arm setup improves the ride and
the suspension's adjustable stance range. And since this truck is
built to be shown off near and far, you'll be happy to have great
driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.
It's hard not to get excited about a great custom pickup that's
also built to be driven, too. The only problem about something so
custom is that once it's gone, you may never have another chance at
something like this again. So hurry and call today!
