Vehicle Description
You know we love these Action Line C10s here at Streetside, but
this 1967 Chevrolet C10 Pro Street has had our attention since the
first day it busted through our showroom doors. With a race-ready
set-up, tubbed rear-end, and show-stopper paint job wrapped around
an immaculate interior, it's got a killer look that's way more
high-end than you typically see in a Pro Street. And with a 454 V8
stroked to 502 cubes under the hood, it has enough horsepower to
make good use of all that extra tire real estate out back.
We're not going to be able to espouse all this C10's virtues in
this limited space, but keep in mind that this is likely the
cleanest, meanest, and flawlessly executed Pro Street C10 we've
ever featured. Trucks like this require a team of pros and a big
bank account to build, and it comes packed with the best of
everything to make it an off-the-charts performer and a
show-stopper in the looks department. With that crouched stance and
custom bed (check out the seamless transition from the bedsides
into the closed-off tailgate), it goes from familiar and vintage,
to sleek and muscular. The '67 model year C10s are a bit more
rounded-off than the subsequent Action Line trucks, and that
sloping hood and smoothed front blends perfectly with the custom
roll pan and gorgeous white-and-chrome grill up front. A chin
spoiler was smartly installed in lieu of a bumper, and the roll pan
and racing-style bed spoiler out back continue that same racing
theme. The 'Bird Catcher' air cleaner poking out of the hood gives
away any ambiguity regarding this truck's intentions, and those
looking for the rest of the story only need to check out the wild
construction inside the bed, highlighted by the exposed rear
suspension tucked in between those big tubs. Beyond the custom
pieces, the workmanship is beautifully done, with top flight
execution that's resulted in a laser-straight body, precise gaps,
crisp panels, and an excellent overall fit and finish that's rarely
seen on C10s. Those high remarks continue to the Pearl White paint
- a custom three stage job that was finished to show standards and
looks amazing atop the vintage livery. It's miles deep, has a
luster that only a very expensive shade of white can have, and its
so smooth and uniform you'd think you were looking at a new Lexus.
Even the inside of the bed was painted to the same excellent
standards, and in addition to the tub and custom suspension there's
a billet gas cap that leads to the relocated gas tank underneath.
Everything is new, from the tinted glass to the lights and lenses
and even the those cool '502' badges on the front fenders that let
everyone know what time it is.
The customization inside is the ideal complement to the white
bodywork, and like the exterior, delivers a modern twist on an old
favorite. That sculpted leather bench seat is from TMI, and it's
finished in a style closer to a pair of Gucci loafers than to what
you'd typically see in the cab of a pickup. Gorgeous matching door
panels at the flanks continue the theme and are punctuated with
bespoke billet handles that match the billet pedals, dash knobs,
column stalks, and the polished steering wheel mounted atop a tilt
steering column. The dash was sculpted, smoothed, and then coated
with matching Pearl White paint, and the two woodgrain bezels
mounted inside look like they came out of a Bentley. There's a full
set of Dakota Digital gauges, which is what you need to keep up
with all those cubes under the hood, and the Lokar shifter manages
the automatic transmission below. The cab was lined with Dynamat to
help control noise and heat, and then tan carpets were laid down on
top for a highly finished look. Power side windows are remote
controlled, the windshield is new, and the big rear window gives
the cabin a very open and airy feel inside thanks to crystal-clear
tinted glass.
With a built 454 V8 that's been stroked to 502 cubic inches, this
monster is ready and able to leave wide contact patches on the
asphalt with a tap of the throttle. Performance goodies include a
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam kit, JE Plasma Molly rings, Manley
valves, a 4340 forged steel crank, Stage 1 connecting rods, and KB
Performance pistons. The big block is fed through a pair of
polished Edelbrock 4-barrels mounted atop a high-rise intake, and
two mini-air cleaners and a removable 'Bird Catcher' air cleaner
bring air into them. The engine bay is a thing of beauty,
show-worthy with a beautifully painted firewall and inner fenders,
polished hinges, and the block itself was painted burgundy and
dressed in polished valve covers and accessories. There's bling
everywhere you look, and its all practically clean enough to eat
off. Long-tube headers feed into a Flowmaster dual exhaust below
that sounds downright biblical, and a giant aluminum radiator with
dual fans keeps everything nice and cool. A built TH400 automatic
augmented with a TCI stall convertor handles the power with ease,
and it spins that narrowed Ford 9" Detroit Locker rear end filled
with 31 spline axles, an ATI balancer, and 4.56 gears. The
undercarriage is a thing of beauty, finished to the same level as
the topside of the truck with loads of slick burgundy paint and
polished components everywhere. The front suspension includes
custom control arms, new shocks, and a big sway bar, while the
4-link out back is firmed up with a set of polished coilovers. Even
with all that power, this C10 stays planted to the road, and thanks
to 4-wheel disc brakes it stops on a dime, too. Flashy Weld wheels
are perfect for a Pro Street, and they're wrapped in 28x7.50x15
front and 31x18.5x15 rear Mickey Thompson meats.
Tricked-out to the nines, this C10 is ready to win trophies. Call
