Vehicle Description
This 1982 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is an impressive custom machine.
It has a sleek custom exterior, a comfy leather interior, and a
fully adjustable air ride suspension. And under the hood is a
torque-ready diesel motor. Oh yeah, this is the custom truck that
will not only haul home some trophies, but it could tow the whole
judge's pavilion if it wanted!
There was a serious investment in the Root Beer Brown paint, and it
has the right metallic copper undertones to earn the Copper Tone
nickname on the tailgate. This radiant luster also highlights the
time that went into making sure the body panels were straight and
crisp. So it looks amazing under our showroom lights, and it can
stop traffic once you get it out in the sunshine. Plus, those MTW
wheels look awesome in copper. And despite the large 20/22-inch
front/rear size, they have been engineered nicely to tuck into the
bodywork when you want to have that ideal low parking stance from
the air ride. We also love how this one still hints at a diesel
truck's true capabilities with liner paint in the bed if you were
really thinking about doing a few chores in this custom pickup.
The interior gives you a terrific classic truck style. The seat is
a detailed custom contoured piece finished in saddle tan leather
that has the kind of look you'd get on a range-topping new truck
today. It even has pillow-top stitching that is repeated on the
door panels. The carpet, dash, and sun visors are also done to
coordinate for a very cool and custom style. While it's unknown if
the odometer reflects the full mileage, this one sure feels fresh
inside. This is a driver's truck that included an upgraded
wood-rimmed steering wheel on a tilt column. The dash panel
surrounds you with the retro-style upgraded radio, factory A/C
controls (compressor is removed), and a full Dakota Digital gauge
panel. But one of our favorite features isn't even on the dash. The
air ride system is controlled via a Bluetooth app (only one person
can be connected at a time.) So you don't even necessarily have to
be in the truck to dial in the stance on demand.
The engine bay has a nice look with details like upgraded air
intake, exterior-matching paint, custom valve covers, and dual
Optima red top batteries. But what should really have you excited
is the powerhouse. This is the 6.2-liter diesel that's correct for
the era but seldom seen these days. Some people may want to add a
modern LS motor or maybe just a big turbo, and we absolutely get
the appeal. But from day one, you have a robust and unique
powerhouse, and in true lowrider form, you don't want to be going
too fast because you want everyone to see you. But no matter how
you choose to drive this one, upgrades like the TH400 four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive, four-link rear, power
steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes make it a solid
cruiser.
This is the cool custom that's different everywhere - including the
powerhouse. So when you want a restomod of full distinction, you
know this Chevy gets it right. Call now!
