Vehicle Description
This custom 1973 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne pickup, RS Serial Number
001, is the first production vehicle in the Roadster Shop's Legend
Series. Thousands of hours of CAD engineering have gone into the
development. Thousands of test miles on the pre-production test
truck have refined and proven the concept. The result is the
Roadster Shop Legend Series that has taken the quintessential
classic truck and modernized its functionality, building the
ultimate daily driver. Riding on a Roadster Shop IFS 4x4 chassis,
it utilizes GM's latest suspension components and geometry,
providing modern truck performance and functionality. The
drivetrain is an LT4 supercharged 650hp Chevrolet Performance crate
engine with an 8L90 8-speed transmission and heavy-duty transfer
case. RS-integrated components allow shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel
drive. It also features factory manifolds with catalytic convertors
and a stainless-steel Borla exhaust system. Modern OEM GM cooling
components are all integrated into CAD-engineered core support. Fox
2.0 Performance coilovers and long travel Deaver's leaf springs
provide comfort and off-road capabilities, while 4-wheel power disc
brakes and power rack & pinion steering provide OEM driving feel.
Other features include a Class 4 hitch, a helper bag system with an
onboard compressor and a factory spare tire. Modern GM mechanical
systems are used throughout the truck, providing longevity and easy
service at any GM dealer. Custom 17-inch powder-coated billet
wheels and original hubcaps with 35-inch Toyo all-terrain tires
complete the vintage look with modern performance. The truck is an
incredibly well-preserved time capsule that retains its original
factory paint from 1973. Its priceless 50-year-old exterior shows
light patina/weathering that adds character. The majority of the
original interior was retained, but is completely updated from a
mechanical standpoint. The dash utilizes Dakota Digital RTX gauges,
GM 4x4 selector knob, a Vintage Air system, a Kicker KMC5 head unit
with Morel, and JL audio components. Every electrical system and
mechanical component have been updated with quality proven
components.
