Vehicle Description
Not all restomods are created equal. This 1966 Chevrolet C10 was
upgraded with cool features like slick paint, four-wheel disc
brakes, an overdrive transmission, and a fuel-injected Vortec V8.
But while that's impressive, what you really don't often find
elsewhere is that this young build is also riding on a newer
chassis that takes full advantage of decades worth of added comfort
and sharpness.
If we were looking for one phrase to describe the exterior, it
would be, "shop truck chic." The gray paint has a matte finish to
give it a primer kind of vibe. But the smoothness of the
application lets you know it's purposeful and thoughtful as it help
to highlight the clean vintage lines. The bumpers and grille are in
white like you'd get on a workman's ride, but when you add in the
coordinating roof and side stripe within the Custom-line trim, you
start to see it makes for an intricate two-tone look. And we
especially like how the modified bed is done in nicely contoured
street signs. It's this commitment to making the practical style
premium that feels like "shop truck chic" is a real thing. As a
true restomod, the overall package is clean and complete, while
still making sure no one accuses it of being a trailer queen. After
all, the heart of the upgrading is more power and poise for the
streets. That's why the 22-inch wheels help give you a sporty
stance and let you fit better modern tires.
The interior keeps the classic style and adds the right
well-integrated upgrades for driving. Basic door panels, a metal
dash, and the robust rubber floor really give you that great
classic pickup honesty. But there's also a freshness that tells you
it's a solid overall investment. And the cloth on the bench seat is
one of those subtle upgrades that would have been considered true
pickup truck luxuries back in the day. The radio is a modern
Retrosound AM/FM digital tuner for upgraded driving music. Plus the
Dakota Digital gauges have a modern glow that keeps you fully
informed, and that hints at something special under the hood.
The engine bay keeps with the rest of the truck's theme where the
investment makes sure it's clean and attractive and subtly cool. So
you instantly know this is an upgraded powerhouse without them
having to paint the Camaro engine cover a neon orange. Beneath it
is a 5.3-liter Vortec V8. It's a modern fuel-injected wonder that
has a reputation for robust construction and solid power. It was
built with the right components, like an aluminum radiator,
electric fan, and newer battery. And the best upgrade of them all
may just be when you look underneath. This is riding on the chassis
of a 2007 GMC Envoy, and so you have over 40 years of progress to
make this restomod a better all-around driver. You also have other
great anytime driving features like the 4L60E four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive comfort, power steering, and four-wheel
power disc brakes.
This is the strong-running restomod that has distinction everywhere
from the truck bed to the undercarriage. So while you may have just
found out about Shop Truck Chic, you now know it's irresistible.
