Vehicle Description
Riley Performance out of Gainesville,TX rebuilt this custom 1966
Chevrolet C10 pickup from head to toe. Under the hood is a
completely customized engine bay housing a supercharged 6.2-liter
GM Performance LSA crate engine backed by a 4L85E GM Performance
automatic transmission with an aluminum driveshaft and a Nodular
Ford 9-inch rear end. The original valve covers were modified to
fit along with the LSA engine cover to blend the new with the old
as well as a Concept One pulley drive system that was added. This
custom pickup sits on a Roadster Shop Revo III chassis and
suspension that has been completely powder coated in Satin Bronze
and a deep dark brown that ties in its color to the matched offset
Forgeline wheels. With special attention to detail and
no-expenses-spared, the polished stainless steel 3-inch exhaust is
threaded in and out of the frame and exits thru the rear bumper.
Big Wilwood brakes and custom color-matched safety harnesses can
bring any party to an end, and this party just gets started with
its creature comforts and Italian leather interior. On the inside,
the Subterranean Metallic exterior color as well as the Champagne
Silver accent color from the metal fabrication to the upholstery of
the interior is custom with attention to a tasteful mixture of
modern electronics and old-school design. The dash has a
faux-painted finish that appears to be leather with walnut accents
and the lower area of the dash was extended in length to add a
cubby area that has power ports for stowing phones and personal
effects. The 1,200-watt audio system goes somewhat visually
unnoticed as it is integrated into the interior with the head unit
flush-mounted in the dash. Many of the controls are tucked away
under a flip-up door pull which is where controls for the electric
mirrors and windows are found. The oak bed floor is color match
stained to the truck with a thick clear coat giving it a wet look
and the interior of the bed has Champagne accent paint. This truck
has been to a handful of car shows and is always recognized with
top awards.
