Vehicle Description
The absolutely bold two-tone makes sure people instantly recognize
this 1982 Chevrolet C10 Silverado as something special. And when
you see all the upgrades to the suspension, four-wheel disc brakes,
A/C interior, and monster big block under the hood, you can see
this was done to be a thoughtful total package.
This truck has the kind of backstory we all want on a unique
machine. We were once told that the evolution of this Chevy from
everyday pickup to a unique street machine was the result of a
group of buddies taking turns owning this Silverado and putting
their unique take on different upgrades. It makes for a distinct
style the moment the two-tone black and orange come into view. It
looks glossy, with orange having a terrific metallic element that
pops in the sunshine. There's even a hand-laid green pinstripe
package acting as a divider for the two colors all along the body.
The white flames, bright chrome bumpers, billet grille, and gold
trim around the window show off more thoughtful details. But what
really has you taking notice are the speedy upgrades. There's a
massive power dome on the cowl hood, center exhaust, and polished
Coys wheels staggered 18/20 inches front/rear. And not only does
this have a lowered stance, but that clean truck bed also is a
subtle way to show off how tubbed the rear wheel wells fit the
massive rear tires.
The interior starts with classic truck appeal and then adds solid
upgrades. The brown velour bench seat, rubber floor mats, and
headliner all have a stock style but an inviting presentation. It's
a comfortable cruiser with features such as AM/FM/cassette stereo
and cold-blowing air conditioning. The upgraded billet paneling on
the dash and door panels gives this a sporty style, especially with
the billet column shifter added, too. And there's a nice muscle car
kind of feel in this truck with a wood-rimmed Grant sports steering
wheel mounted on a tilt column, a wraparound gauge panel, and the
tach mounted prominently on top of the dash.
All that bold orange radiating against the black inner walls of the
engine bay makes this motor look like it's radiating power. And
this certainly has plenty of muscle. It's a 454 cubic-inch V8 that
lily has had a mild cam added. The big block has further been
upgraded with performance components like a Holley double-pumper
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and a nice set
of headers feeding the dual exhaust. It's supported by the right
pieces, including an MSD ignition, Accel distributor, and a large
radiator with electric fans. The TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission is a stout unit, and it feeds a Ford 9-inch
limited-slip rear end. As you look underneath, you'll also see the
rear suspension has been upgraded to ladder bars with a diagonal
link and adjustable coilovers. And while this has the power package
setup for a quarter-mile king, there's more going on here. It feels
more versatile as an all-around good driver with power steering and
four-wheel power disc brakes.
This is the distinct build with a street machine look, a cool
story, plenty of power, and a surprisingly easy demeanor. So don't
miss this unique full package. Call today!!!
