Vehicle Description
We don't need to sell you on the virtues of the second-generation
C/K. You already know these trucks are attractive, timeless and
universally cool. In fact, one could argue that, since they
represent a choice era of one of America's most popular vehicles,
they're one of the best classics of all time. That said, falling
for a handsome C Series is easy. The difficult part is finding a
unique, well-built truck that'll keep you happy for years to come.
Luckily, your friends at RK Motors Charlotte have a real knack for
finding standout builds. And, as a perfect blend of custom virtues
and the kind of showstopping aesthetics that'll always be
attractive to enthusiasts, this exceptional C10 is about as
standout as it gets. Looking for a fun ride that's sure to turn
heads? Take a close look at this killer bowtie!
GOODGUYS AND SHADES OF THE PAST
Commissioned by a diehard enthusiast who wanted to create a show
stopping custom that blurred the lines between street rod and
pickup, this Chevy is the product of a detailed, $300K build that
wrapped a roster of high quality components in countless hours of
skilled labor. A long way from the 1967 short wheelbase it began
life as, Project Fifty/50 has hardly any surfaces that weren't
carefully massaged for maximum display. After hours of precise
metalwork, a solid fleetside profile was sealed in a striking
combination of Almond and Black/Blue Pearl two-stage. And it all
adds up to one sleek, eye-catching resto-mod that backs a Shades Of
The Past Top 25 Award with three Goodguys Builder's Choice
Awards!
The subdued and classy lines of Chevrolet's acclaimed Action Line
trucks are early '60s conservative. And because they're so
universal in appeal, they take to customization exceptionally well.
The show starts with a tucked and vented bumper, dressed in Satin
Silver, that centers familiar PIAA fog lights on a silver-trimmed
valance. That valance seamlessly integrates Truck-Lite headlights
at the sides of a black bowtie and bright amber parking lamps.
Above those torches, a Cowl Induction Hood leads a capped and
stainless-trimmed cowl, which fronts a tinted and black-trimmed
greenhouse. That greenhouse stands a flush backlite between satin
cab trim, murdered bowtie mirrors and shaved, remote-actuated
doors. Classy C10 emblems join factory markers above Satin Silver
rocker trim. A power-operated tonneau hides a custom upholstered
bed. And a custom roll pan frames a shaved and smoothed tailgate,
which flies color-keyed "CHEVROLET" lettering under more Satin
Silver trim.
BIG BLOCK AND FUEL INJECTION
Built by the pros at Phoenix, Arizona's Klein Engines, this C10's
408 cubic inch big block backs fierce performance with menacing
acoustics! At the top of the monochromatic mill, a custom,
shotgun-style air cleaner supplies ample oxygen for reliable FAST
electronic fuel injection. An aluminum intake feeds tough, cast
iron heads, which tilt attractive, Chevrolet-branded valve covers
behind dualled R2C Performance breathers. Combustion gets sparked
by a hot MSD distributor, which jolts loomed Taylor plug wires. A
muted March serpentine drive, tastefully branded with the truck's
Project Fifty/50 moniker, spins a trusted Edelbrock water pump
between a painted alternator and a painted AC compressor. Cooling
is provided by a custom aluminum radiator, which aligns electric
puller fans under a custom radiator shroud. Spent gases traverse
coated shorty headers. The bright silver mill rumbles in a seamless
engine bay that's finished with custom hood braces, a smoothed
firewall and custom, hand-built hood supports. And naturally, that
clean frame highlights a sea of first rate hardware that includes a
polished dipstick, a billet brake reservoir, a deep oil pan and a
quality FAST fuel pressure gauge.
MODERN AND CUSTOM
Park this pickup on a lift and you'll see where coveted red carpet
flash transitions to proven engineering prowess. Torque gets dealt
by a dressed 700R4 4-speed that makes excellent use of a
lightweight aluminum driveshaft. Behind that tube, a narrowed
12-bolt spins a posi-traction differential around big, 3.73 gears.
That smooth drivetrain rides a boxed and braced hammertone frame
that's been seated on fully adjustable air bags. Massive torsion
sway bars cage an independent front-clip and a truck arm rear-clip.
Those bones get led by modern power rack-and-pinion steering. At
the corners, electronically assisted Wilwood calipers cinch 20
pistons around a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Spent gases
are managed by a custom exhaust system, which fashions three-inch,
Mandrel bent pipes around a duo of coated mufflers. A custom
stainless fuel tank, striped with LEDs, rides tight next to a
power-operated tag bracket. And force meets the pavement through
color-keyed MOZ Concours wheels, which spin 275/40R20 and 295/40R20
Toyo Proxes S/Ts inside raised and modified fenders.
LEATHER AND CLOTH
Pop this Chevy's electronic doors and you'll find a tasteful custom
interior that was stitched in a cool combination of cloth and
leather. A sculpted bench aligns nicely behind a stylish console,
which stacks AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite accessory gauges in
front of flush power window switches and controls for both the
truck's tonneau and tag bracket. Custom, two-tone side panels hang
crisp JBL speakers above plush carpet and custom, two-tone door
jambs. A leather-lined C10 dash hangs AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite
telemetry next to direct-fit audio and cool Classic Auto Air
conditioning. And the driver spins a color-keyed '40 Ford steering
wheel around floor-mount foot pedals and a tilting column.
Perpetually cool and mechanically fulfilling, this impressive Chevy
is an appealing take on the traditional truck concept. Combining
acute restoration with big power, it's simply spectacular from
every angle. Don't miss your chance to own one awesome C10!
