Vehicle Description
We've had a lot of Chevy pickups come through our showroom, but not
many have approached the incredible design and build quality of
this 1972 Chevrolet C-10 resto-mod. With a dialed-in Light Olive
Green paint job, spectacular leather interior, and feisty small
block V8 under the hood, it delivers show-ready looks with
road-ready performance, while providing supreme comfort for those
who love to drive. Stop looking, this is the Action Line pickup
you've been looking for.
You already know from the price that this truck is something
special. There's not a panel on it that hasn't been smoothed,
molded, or altered in some way (check out the smoothed front
valance and all the custom work on the tailgate and bed), yet it's
still 100% recognizable as one of Chevy's finest pickups. Deleting
the bumpers, trim, and stock emblems certainly helps achieve a
slick look, but it's that unique, drab Light Olive Green paint
applied by professionals that really seals the deal. Lots of time
and effort went into getting all the bodywork silky smooth, and it
shows, with show-quality gaps and alignment, and a miles-deep,
shiny finish that makes this truck show-worthy at pretty much any
venue. Maybe someone could find something to pick on in this build,
but we certainly haven't. Trick pieces up front include a cowl
hood, a billet grille framed by LED headlights, and that lower
valance that was formed into the fenders for an insanely cool,
all-in-one smoothed look. Out back, they seamlessly smoothed
together the bed with the roll pan and tailgate (it looks so darn
good I can hardly stand it), and the choice of space-age LED
taillights and cursive 'Chevrolet' script are the perfect
complement to the look. The inside of the bed was covered with
black spray-in bedliner, which means you can actually use this
truck for hard work, although everything is finished to such a high
level you might think twice before you let anything (or anyone)
dirty near it.
There's more high-end craftsmanship inside, where the bench seat
was wrapped in custom leather upholstery that updates the C-10's
formerly bare-bones interior, and the light tan color looks amazing
against the olive exterior paint. The door panels were stitched to
match and feature covered armrests and chrome hardware, there's a
matching padded dash pad, and handsome carpets including tan
floormats that really insulate the cabin. If you look at the steel
dash too fast you might miss the trick bodywork that matches the
exterior, including the smoothed-and-formed gauge bezel and glove
compartment, and a full array of white-face RPC gauge ahead of the
driver keep a closer eye on the motor. A super-cool billet steering
wheel was mounted atop a thin column, and it matches the look of
the Lokar shifter that juts out from the transmission hump. Thanks
to a powerful Vintage Air A/C system you don't have to worry about
long highway drives in warm weather, and a Kenwood
AM/FM/CD/AUX/Satellite/Bluetooth stereo system fits in the center
of the dash and powers speakers mounted in the kick panels.
Everything is fresh, looks great, and really fits the theme of the
truck. This is simply one of the coolest interiors we've ever
seen.
A period-correct 307 V8 under the hood gives this truck performance
to match its looks. It's a strong runner that moves this relatively
lightweight C-10 with ease, and with only 1,938 miles on the build
it all feels very fresh. The engine bay was beautifully finished,
with matching olive paint on the firewall and inner fenders, a
polished/finned air cleaner and matching valve covers, and olive
paint on the block itself. Go fast goodies include an Edelbrock
4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake, an Accell HEI ignition,
and big aluminum radiator up front that keeps the whole show nice
and cool. The engine spins a smooth-shifting TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission that's a perfect match, while the heavy-duty
12-bolt rear end hanging out back can handle pretty much anything
you can throw at it. Power steering and power front disc brakes are
always a huge plus, while the big sway bar up front works with
upgraded shocks, springs, and bushings all around that help set the
stance and keep this beauty pegged to the road. The undercarriage
was beautifully detailed and painted satin black so it can be shown
off with pride, while this C-10's soundtrack is kicked up a notch
thanks to a dual exhaust with chambered mufflers and dump-outs that
exit just beyond them. 20-inch US Mags fit the fenders perfectly,
wearing fat 245/45/20 front and 275/45/20 rear performance tires
that finish the look.
Built for show yet absolutely functional, this recently restored
pickup (only 1,938 miles on the build!) embodies vastly more work
than your average restomod C-10. There's surely way more than the
asking price tied up in this build, so if you like the look you're
going to love the way it eats up the road. Call today!
