Vehicle Description
The absolutely bold two-tone makes sure people instantly recognize
this 1982 Chevrolet C10 Pro Street as something special. And when
you see all the upgrades to the suspension, A/C interior, and
monster big block under the hood, you can see this was done to be a
thoughtful total package.
This truck has the kind of backstory we all want on a unique
machine. The consignor says he owned this truck twice. In fact,
it's said that this truck has spent most of its life sold between a
small group of buddies who have transformed it into a mean street
machine along the way. And you can see the style the moment the
two-tone black and orange come into view. It looks glossy, with
orange having a terrific metallic element that pops in the
sunshine. There's even a hand-laid green pinstripe package acting
as a divider for the two colors all along the body. The white
flames, bright chrome bumpers, billet grille, and gold trim around
the window show off more thoughtful details. But what really has
you taking notice are the speedy upgrades. There's a massive power
dome on the cowl hood, center exhaust, and polished Coys wheels
staggered 18/20-inches front/rear. And not only does this have a
lowered stance, but that clean truck bed also is a subtle way to
show off how tubbed the rear wheel wells fit the massive rear
tires.
The interior starts with classic truck appeal and then adds in
solid upgrades. The brown velour bench seat, rubber floor mats, and
headliner all have a stock style but an inviting presentation from
a proper investment. It's a comfortable cruiser with features such
as AM/FM/cassette stereo and cold-blowing air conditioning. The
upgraded billet paneling on the dash and door panels give this a
sporty style, especially with the billet column shifter added, too.
And there's a nice muscle car kind of feel in this truck with a
wood-rimmed Grant sports steering wheel mounted on a tilt column,
wraparound gauge panel, and tach mounted prominently on top of the
dash.
All that bold orange radiating against the black inner walls of the
engine bay make this motor look like it's radiating power. And this
powerhouse certainly has plenty of muscle. It's a 454 cubic-inch V8
believed to have been punched out to 468ci total and had a mild cam
added. The big block has further been upgraded with performance
components like a Holley double-pumper four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, and a nice set of headers feeding the dual
exhaust. It's supported by the right pieces, including an MSD
ignition, Accel distributor, an oversized radiator, oil cooler, and
steel braided lines. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission
is a stout unit built with a good 2500 stall. This feeds a Ford
9-inch limited-slip rear end. As you look underneath, you'll also
see the rear suspension has been upgraded to ladder bars with a
diagonal link and adjustable coilovers. And while this has the
power package setup for a quarter-mile king, there's more going on
here. It feels more versatile as an all-around good driver with
power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes.
This is the cool build with a street machine look, a cool story,
plenty of power, and a surprisingly easy demeanor. So don't miss
this unique full package. Call today!!!
