Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is excited to present for your consideration this
1968 Chevrolet C-10! This truck sure isn't your average C-10. It is
the product of a 12-year frame-off restoration that was just
completed in May 2022. We even have a book from the builder with
photos, receipts, an appraisal, and a list of all expenditures. It
looks great in photos, but it is even more breathtaking in person.
The paints used are all from House Of Kolor and whoever sprayed it
did a great job. The colors are glossy, deep, and evenly laid all
over the straight body. While the truck was apart, the frame was
stripped down, primed, and painted Champagne. According to the
builder there are 37 different body modifications done during the
build, most notably - vents with a chrome fin on the sides of the
hood, extended front bumper side panels to the wheel openings, a
grill center bar that includes the turn signals with flush lenses,
shaved drip rails, shaved door handles, frenched antenna, and
frenched tail and reverse lights. The bed wood is stained with
Kandy Red paint and covered with 12 coats of clear urethane then
sanded and buffed to an incredibly glossy shine. This C-10 has a
great stance and is lowered 6' in front and 5" in the back with
Chassis Tech lowering springs and spindles. The lowered stance is
accentuated by a set of Riddler wheels wrapped in new Falken FK452
low-profile tires. When you lift the hood on this truck you're sure
to be impressed with the level of detail in the engine bay. The air
cleaner, valve covers, intake, block, and brake booster are all
painted to match the exterior. According to the truck's builder,
the 350ci V8 was rebuilt approximately 20K miles before the build
and has 10.5:1 compression, a small cam, and a gear drive. He also
stated that the 700R4 automatic transmission was rebuilt just
before the truck was finished and has been less than 100 miles
since. The transmission is mated to a 12-bolt rear to handle all
the power you can throw at it. Atop the air-gap intake is a 600cfm
Holley carburetor and a new distributor. At the front of the engine
is a RAB chrome front-runner system with an AC compressor,
alternator, and power steering pump. At the very front of the car
sits a new Champion aluminum radiator with dual 14" electric fans
mounted to an aluminum fan shroud. The exhaust runs through headers
to mufflers and out through rectangular chrome tips beneath the bed
steps. Stopping power is supplied by power front disc brakes with
drilled and slotted rotors and drums on the rear. The cab's
interior features are a continuation of the same high level of
quality custom build seen outside and under the hood. The extremely
comfortable bucket seats are upholstered in white leather with red
stitching that is also used on the door panels, kick panels, center
console, and headliner. The custom-designed dash and center console
are made entirely of metal with wood inserts. The wood inserts on
the dash, console, and door armrests are red oak - to match the bed
wood. On the dash, you'll find Dakota electric gauges including a
tach built into the speedometer and integrated turn signal
indicators. Also in the dash is a Double Din Pioneer head unit with
Bluetooth compatability connected to eight speakers powered by two
amplifiers. The center console houses easy-to-use, well-labeled
controls for heat and AC as well as other features. Also part of
the center console is two cup holders, a pop-up compartment with
hidden ignition, cut-off switch, antenna control, and amp booster,
an armrest with storage compartment, and a decorative speaker cover
plate from a mid-60s Impala that gives it a cool retro feel. The
Billet Specialties steering wheel is dressed in white to match the
interior and is attached to an Ididit tilt column. Both windows are
electric, as is the E-brake. Doors open from the outside with key
fobs and from the interior by simply pushing down on the lock
buttons. The beige carpet and floor mats are new and free of stains
and wear. This truck is an incredibly well-built custom ride that
is sure to bring home plenty of trophies from car shows and get
looks wherever it goes. It may sound cliche, but you couldn't begin
to build a truck of this quality for this price today.
