Introduced as a more approachable follow-up to GM's legendary Task
Force pickups, the Chevrolet C/K has become a beloved automotive
icon that's won enthusiasts, spawned a giant aftermarket and even
inspired festivals! In fact, early C10s are so popular that they're
ever-present in every corner of the classic car hobby, from customs
and pro-touring resto-mods to mini truckin' and street legal stock
cars. More traditional than transformative, this razor-sharp Chevy
backs 454 cubic inches of all-American power with vibrantly
vivacious aesthetics. And if you like your classic to be
head-turning AND fun to drive, it's a great candidate for your next
cruiser!
GLOWING CHARISMA
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this super cool Chevy walks a fine
line between sport and shine. Under the truck's vibrant two-stage,
a solid fuselage hangs clean panels that appear straight and well
aligned. And that body's combination of great reflections and flat
surfaces suggest quality certainly took precedence over time. At
the front of the truck, a flashy grille stretches bold "CHEVROLET"
lettering between clear parking lamps, traditional headlights and a
chromed, Cheyenne-spec bumper. Above that grille, a subtle Cowl
Induction Hood, relieved of its bowtie, points to a lightly tinted
greenhouse, which hangs Cheyenne-spec window trim behind matte
stainless wipers. At the sides of that glass, a smooth profile
centers polished C10 handles, polished bowtie mirrors and a
Cheyenne-spec fuel cap between bright Cheyenne badging, clear
markers and ornate, Cheyenne-spec rocker guards. At the center of
that flash, a Cheyenne-spec cargo lamp lights a painted bed, which
floats polished stainless hardware between filled stake pockets and
simply massive inner fenders. And at the back of the truck, factory
taillights corral a "CHEVROLET" branded tailgate over a second
chrome bumper and polished exhaust tips.
BIG CHEVY POWER
Pop the hood and you'll find 454 cubic inches of big block
Chevrolet power! A perfect combination of oxygen and fuel comes
courtesy of a coated Holley carburetor, which gets fed by braided
Summit lines and a coated mechanical pump. That quality carb floats
between a stylish black air cleaner and a choice Edelbrock Torker
2-R intake. At the back of that plane, a hot MSD Pro Comp
distributor sequences spark between a convenient MSD coil and
loomed MSD Street Fire Wires. Below those wires, tough iron heads
center fabricated valve covers on coated Hooker tubes. In front of
those tubes, tight belts spin a chromed alternator opposite a
chromed AC compressor. Cooling is provided by a color-keyed
aluminum radiator that's paired with a billet expansion tank and an
electric puller fan. That roster of proven components is seated in
a massaged engine bay that's decked in a sweet combination of
Bright Red and Gloss Black skin. And that striking pigment is
dotted with details like painted closeouts, a polished breather, a
polished thermostat housing, polished timing components and an
Optima gel cell battery.
LOOKS GREAT, DRIVES GREAT
Behind that trusty big block, a dressed and cooled Turbo-Hydramatic
400 3-speed twists torque to a narrowed 12-bolt axle. Everything
rolls low and mean on a factory-style front suspension, which
stretches a thick sway bar opposite a ladder bar rear suspension.
Fluid power steering makes parking easy and turns a cinch. Quick
stops come courtesy of four power-assisted Wilwood calipers, which
milk a familiar Wilwood master cylinder and a handy Wilwood
proportioning valve to squeeze a quartet of drilled and slotted
rotors. The aforementioned headers feed aluminized pipes, which
growl through rowdy MagnaFlow mufflers. And power meets the
pavement through gorgeous Budnik Gassers, which spin 245/40ZR20
Delinte Thunder D7s in front of positively massive 29x18.00R20
Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs.
CUSTOM CHEYENNE COMFORT
Swivel the doors and you'll reveal a tastefully restored cockpit
that's classy in all the right ways! Tight red vinyl dresses a
Chevrolet-branded bench that's customized for both comfort and
durability. A monochromatic dash hangs crisp Dakota Digital VHX
telemetry beside controls for cool Vintage Air conditioning and
discreet modern audio. Cheyenne-spec carpet frames Cheyenne-spec
pedals between big kick speakers and deep, CST-spec door panels.
And the driver spins a color-keyed Billet Specialties Draft wheel
around a tilting column.
It's no wonder the C10 continues to be one of the market's most
popular options for stylish, all-American transportation! With
sweet aesthetics, epic swagger and muscle car streetability, this
Chevy is the perfect combination of form and function. Call your
