Vehicle Description
You may note with some interest that dialed-in trucks like this
1969 Chevrolet C10 Restomod sell faster than just about anything
else we have in stock. They're incredibly handsome, rugged yet
refined, and with the right upgrades a ton of fun on the street
(think: Camaro with a bed). So, it is with some urgency that we ask
that you give this one-of-a-kind hauler a good look over, then give
us a call right away if you love what you see (and we're betting
that you will if you have any blood pumping in those veins),
because like those that have come before it, this custom C-10
surely won't last long.
Tricked-out, custom-painted, lowered, and bristling with big
horsepower, this incredibly slick C10 takes everything that was
great about these trucks and turns it up to 11. Note the de-badged
body, cowl hood, shaved door handles, smoothed tailgate and that
perfectly crouched, almost menacing stance - all of which suggest
there's more to this pickup than just hauling lumber. The sizzling
bright orange paint gives this C10 a high-impact attitude that
works great with all those aggressive details, further punctuated
by that awesome custom flame-work on the hood and front profile.
Most folks do a double-take when they see it because it looks
exactly right, and even with these bold moves the builders didn't
over-do it - everyone can still tell that this is a pure Action
Line C10 through-and-through. Finish quality is really excellent
all around, maybe not perfect (because there's no such thing in the
classic car game), but pretty darn close to it, although you
shouldn't be afraid to drive this beauty because she wasn't meant
just for the show circuit. The finish is smooth to the touch,
consistent throughout, and it was expertly laid on top of
laser-straight bodywork with great panel fitment. And the attention
that it generates on the street is worth its weight in gold. The
doors open with a remote popper, and the gas tank was relocated
from the stock location behind the seat and into the bed where it's
much safer. And speaking of that bed, it's been finished like a
dance floor, with beautifully painted walls and wheel wells that
match the body and gorgeous wood held down with chrome slats. A few
chrome accents like the front grille, light surrounds, and bright
bumpers fore and aft give the truck a well-detailed look that will
never go out of style, while adding a little contrast to the orange
finish.
The new black-and-brown leather interior is the ideal complement to
the high-impact bodywork, and like the exterior, delivers a modern
twist on an old favorite. TMI bucket seats provide a modern twist
wrapped in beautifully stitched hides accented with billet buttons,
and they're contoured to make this truck more comfortable on long
cruises. A custom center console was stitched to match and splits
the seats, and it's the control center for a set of cup holders,
the Vintage Air A/C system, a jet-fighter style array of auxiliary
switches, and that aggressive shifter that manages the automatic
transmission below. Custom door panels were outfitted with matching
upholstery, as was the beautifully stitched dash pad, and the plush
black carpets and matching floor mats insulate the cabin from the
outside elements. The original dash was finished to match the body
and now houses a billet gauge panel loaded with a full complement
of AutoMeter gauges, a must-have for a truck with all that blasting
powder under the hood. There's also a custom billet steering wheel
with a leather rim that was stitched to match the upholstery, and
it come mounted atop a polished tilt steering column that matches
the sportiness of the floor pedals. The 7-inch double-din
touchscreen head unit in the center of the dash provides extra
entertainment through upgraded speakers, and it was expertly
mounted above a custom panel filled with auxiliary toggle switches.
Along with the aforementioned door poppers come power windows, cold
A/C, and seatbelts to round out the options list. Great rods show
vision, and someone definitely had the right idea when they put
this beauty together.
A thundering 383 Stroker V8 from Blueprint Engines gives this truck
performance to match its looks. A set of Blueprint aluminum heads
shave weight as well as build horsepower and it's topped by a big
Holley 4-barrel carburetor mounted on a polished Edelbrock intake.
There's a lot of polished and chromed pieces, including the
serpentine belt drive system and its accessories, the power brake
system, Chevrolet valve covers, air cleaner, and even the billet
hood hinges. And the engine bay was obviously prepped and finished
before the Chevy Orange block went in, with black inner fenders and
a smoothed and painted orange firewall providing the perfect
backdrop to the shiny motor. An aluminum radiator with dual
electric fans keeps the temperatures down, while a set of ceramic
coated long-tube headers help it breathe easy. The TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission handles all the power with ease, spinning a
heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end out back that's ready for battle.
Obviously the suspension is not stock, with a raked stance set with
upgraded shocks and adjustable QA1 coilovers in the rear, and this
truck's road manners are greatly improved thanks to power steering
and power front disc brakes. And if it's a killer soundtrack you're
looking for, none get much better than the Flowmaster dual exhaust
system in this C10, complete with 'dumps' right after the mufflers.
Weld Racing wheels will always look great on '60s GM muscle, with
these wearing 215/70/15 Falkens up front and 31x16.5x15 Hoosiers in
the rear.
If you like the look, you're going to love how this baby runs. Like
we said, this truck probably won't last long, especially after the
first guy comes in for a test drive. Call today!
