Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 is a custom pickup with upgraded V8 power,
an overdrive transmission, extra-sharp paint, ghost racing stripes,
and a custom/comfy air-conditioned interior. So we're not sure how
much more of your ultimate wish list we need to check off before
you realize this custom pickup has it all.
Tangelo Pearl is a bold shade that has a nice added metallic
element to make sure that everyone notices the moment sunlight hits
this truck. And as you get closer, you'll even notice racing
stripes are ghosted in a slightly darker shade of orange. It's a
nice way to signal that this is both for lovers of performance and
details. The restoration was completed about 9k miles ago, and so
this one has seen only modest use. So it's the kind of clean custom
that you can drive and show with pride. There's a thoughtfulness
that is seen throughout the exterior. The LED headlight upgrade not
only lights the way better, but its dark style goes well with the
blackout grille. In fact, there's a nicely coordinated dark side
that also includes the tinted glass and liner paint in the bed. And
the classic chrome bumpers have a mirror-like shine so that they
can complement the 20-inch polished Foose wheels.
The exterior orange returns inside as an accent color, and it's now
joined by black. It looks especially nice on the custom door
panels, carpeting, and dash pad. There's even a custom bow tie
graphic in the rear black panel for more of the thoughtful style
that this truck has at its heart. This one is a driver's classic,
and they signal that with the upgraded seats. They are borrowed
from a C5 Corvette Z06 to deliver high back and supple leather
comfort. In fact, yours power adjusts, so you'll always find the
ideal driving position. You also have a woodgrain Grant GT steering
wheel, a tilt column, a B&M shifter, and a full Dolphin gauge
package. It gives you a great sports truck feeling while also being
extra comfy. It comes from nice upgrades like cold-blowing air
conditioning, a custom armrest center console, cup holders, and a
Kenwood AM/FM stereo with aux input and Bluetooth connectivity.
The thoughtfulness of the build continues in the engine bay. The
block, valve covers, and air grabber are all painted to match the
exterior. This is a 383 Stroker V8 that's upgraded further with
performance pieces like Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a Weiand
aluminum intake, and headers add power while contributing to the
sweet rumble of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This is even supported
by the right pieces, like an MSD ignition, an Optima battery, and a
Champion aluminum radiator with dual cooling fans. And because it's
so thoughtfully built, it's great for all-around driving. That's
why you have an upgrade to a 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission with a Corvette torque converter. The undercarriage
photos reveal suspension upgrades like the tubular lower control
arms, front drop spindles, and thick sway bars for both the front
and rear. Add in power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the
grip of modern performance tires, and you have an all-around solid
driver's classic.
This thoughtful build makes for a cool, coordinated, and very
custom pickup. So if you love a vintage truck that has it all, call
today!
