Vehicle Description
Take some time to check out all the custom details of this 1972
Chevrolet C10 Restomod. But don't linger too long, because with the
slick paint, a custom leather interior, cold-blowing A/C interior,
an overdrive transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and an awesome
6.0-liter fuel-injected V8 under the hood, this truck will not be
staying in our showroom very long.
Atomic Orange is a modern color borrowed from a C6 Corvette, so it
makes a distinct first impression. And since this is a full custom
build, the paint even has some custom upgrading to give it added
brilliance in the sunshine. The consignor is the builder, and he
finished the restoration in 2013. You can tell this is a personal
passion project by the way he sweated the details on the body by
the smooth deleted badges and the proper fit of the panels that let
the doors shut solid. There's the right gleaming brightwork with
the big chrome bumpers and trim around the grille. It gives you the
right classic car shine without drowning out the polished
performance upgrades like the side exhaust tips, crystal clear
headlights, and 18-inch American Racing Custom Shop two-piece
wheels. The black tonneau cover continues the sporty style as it
tightly fits over the bed for a nice aerodynamic upgrade. And
underneath is liner paint so that you can both show this custom C10
off and pull real truck duty when you want. And if this truck needs
to do some dirty work, it's easy to hook up a trailer to the Class
5 hitch. There are even adjustable airbags on the rear suspension
to properly take on a load.
The bright orange returns inside as an accent color, and now it's
joined by black. The seating is borrowed from a Ram, but it's fine
to have a Mopar in a Chevy when you have plush leather bucket
seats. There's a jump seat in the middle, but you'll just like it
better for folding down to give you a center console. Everything
right down to the rubber mat floor looks crisp and clean - exactly
what you'd expect on a well-done build. There are more worthwhile
upgrades like a retro sound AM/FM stereo w/Bluetooth, full stereo
speakers with subwoofer, shoulder seatbelts, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. This is also built to be a better driver. That's why
you have a sports steering wheel, power steering, and beyond that
is a full set of Dakota Digital HDX gauges.
The engine bay continues this truck's custom attitude with a smooth
and clean style that really knows how to put this modern motor on
display. This is an LS-based LQ4 6.0-liter Vortec motor, and the
fuel-injected V8 upgrade means more power and consistency wrapped
in a tidy-looking package. It was built with the right upgrades,
including a Volant cold air intake and a factory big block 4 core
radiator with electric fans. Plus, this mighty V8 exhales with
added power and rumble as Sanderson ceramic-coated headers feed the
H-pipe dual exhaust and Dynomax mufflers. The 4L80E four-speed
automatic transmission was built to pair with this motor, and this
has been beefed up even further with a Stage 2 upgrade. So you can
handle some serious power while smoothly shifting all the way into
overdrive. The undercarriage photos reveal a nice suspension with
upgrades like an updated front end, Belltech Street Performance
shocks, CPP front and rear sway bars, and 12-bolt Eaton Detroit
Truetrac limited-slip rear with 3.73 gears. And the stopping power
has been upgraded with Baer four-wheel disc brakes that include
slotted & drilled rotors and a custom hydroboost system.
This passion project was designed to be the gentleman's C10. So
it's a thoughtful all-around build with the kind of fit, finish,
and features that make it irresistible. Call today!!!
