Vehicle Description
Everyone knows the Action-Line C10 was one of Chevy's best designs,
and the only thing you can do to make it better is finish the paint
and bodywork to an eye-catching standard, give it a comfortable A/C
interior, and stuff it with a strong, professionally built 350 V8,
a 700R4 overdrive transmission, and a host of choice options.
This is the kind of truck that makes folks do a double-take when
they first see it, because aside from the glowing red paint and big
wheels, it still has that cool, vintage look. Then you get a little
closer and see how good the gaps are, and how smooth it all looks
for a truck that was obviously built to be used and enjoyed. The
basic shape is unchanged although the raked stance is a bit more
aggressive than stock, and even though the paint is not perfect,
the driver-quality presentation of this pickup has loads of curb
appeal. Maybe it's the screaming red paint, which looks fantastic
on the Chevy's chiseled single cab and short bed, or maybe it's the
unique black hood/cowl accents, or even the roll pan out back where
the bumper used to be? Or maybe it's the cool stance and oversized
rolling stock. Or how about that simple tailgate with CHEVROLET
embossed on its surface? Or perhaps it's a combination of
everything, which only proves that this is a well-conceived, nicely
executed driver truck that looks like a million bucks when it's
cruising down Main Street. Regardless, there's a lot of
well-executed work here and it looks great from any angle, from the
crisply rendered grille up front to the sparkling chrome bumper
just below it. Oh, and the bed remains fully functional thanks to a
heavy-duty spray-in bedliner and reinforced wheel wells.
This one got a full interior makeover as well, featuring a custom
wrapped bench seat covered in red-and-white upholstery made of both
cloth and vinyl. The two-tone color scheme continues with the white
door panel inserts, dash pad, visors, and kick panels, along with
the contrasting red steel on the doors, dash, and steel headliner.
The original gauges were swapped in favor of an elegant set of
Dolphin units that really makes things look a bit more grown up
inside, even inside the brightly finished bezel. R134a A/C and a
tilt column are another step away from its working-class origins,
and that 3-spoke steering wheel adds to the muscle car feel. A JVC
AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo head unit has been neatly grafted into the
original dashboard, and feeds speakers stashed throughout the cab.
A Lokar shifter in the floor manages the 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission below, and although the carpet isn't the best, it does
help insulate the cab with a more grown-up feel. Seatbelts keep
everyone in place, and if A/C isn't needed during temperate
weather, the rear window features a sliding rear glass.
Another great thing about trucks is that they can handle just about
any powerplant you'd care to use. In the case of this bright red
hauler, it's a built 350 V8 that was put together in 2015 and
nestles between the shiny black inner fenders like it was born
there. Bored .060 over with a balanced crank, the 4-bolt main motor
runs exceptionally well, with upgraded goodies like SRP forged
pistons, a Comp Cam camshaft, push rods, and roller rockers, and
ProMax 190cc intake ports. It's fed by an Edelbrock 4-barrel atop a
polished performance intake, and the block wears finned Edelbrock
valve covers, a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner, and long-tube headers
that all add to the muscle car look under the hood. An aluminum
radiator keeps the whole show nice and cool, while a great-sounding
dual exhaust system fitted with throaty Flowmaster mufflers that
dump just behind ahead of the rear axle. A 700R4 4-speed automatic
overdrive transmission and 3.08 gears in the 12-bolt mean this
truck just loafs along at highway speeds, and ferocious
acceleration is just a gentle throttle squeeze away. Power steering
and front disc brakes make driving a blast, while flashy 18-inch
Boss wheels give it just the right look and wear 245/45/18 front
and 285/35/18 rear Continental performance radials.
