Vehicle Description
Known as "Truck Hole," this nut-and-bolt restoration was complete
in 2018 without compromise. The pickup is black on black with a
houndstooth interior. The cockpit is accentuated by AutoMeter
Prestige gauges that give it that classic look built into a custom
instrument cluster designed to match the passenger side. The gauges
are silver and black and come to life in white at night. The
brushed steel and wood steering wheel along with the polished
TREMEC 5-speed shifter round out the interior. On the exterior of
this 1971 GMC, the flat nose of the hood and fenders have been
replaced to give it the sloped nose of the '67 while maintaining
the dual headlights up front. All side markers and trim have been
removed to give it a smooth appearance. It is powered by a 350ci
engine bored .30 over beating to life via COMP Cams 12-242-2 Xtreme
Energy camshaft. Sitting on top of the short-block are Chevrolet
64cc Camel Hump quench chambered heads with 2.02-inch intake
valves. Rounding out the intake system is the RPM Air-Gap
street/strip manifold. Sitting on top of that is a Holley Avenger
770 cfm aluminum carburetor. Providing spark is the Chevrolet
Performance HEI Electronic ignition system and Optima battery. The
valve covers give it a classic look while saving weight and
providing appeal. The accessory drive is powered by a March
serpentine pulley system. Cooling is provided by a Meziere
electronic water pump and dual electric fans. Finally, the exhaust
gasses are pumped through some Sanderson shorty headers allowing
for the exhaust to remain unseen within the channels of the frame.
Sitting behind the engine is the TREMEC TKO 5-speed manual
transmission. The transfer of power is managed via McLeod clutch,
flywheel and throw-out bearing. The core of the chassis is built
from an original C10 frame augmented with RideTech components
(converted from long-bed to short-bed). Pulling up the rear is a GM
12-bolt posi-traction rear end with 373 gears. The suspension
system is provided by RideTech, and rounding out the corners are
Wilwood drilled and slotted rotors, with 6-piston calipers up front
and 4-piston in the rear, along with a Wilwood aluminum master
cylinder. **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE** **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
