Vehicle Description
We don't need to sell you on the virtues of the second-generation
C/K. You already know these trucks are attractive, timeless and
universally cool. In fact, one could argue that, since they
represent a choice era of one of America's most popular vehicles,
they're one of the best classics of all time. That said, falling
for a handsome C Series is easy. The difficult part is finding a
unique, well-built truck that'll keep you happy for years to come.
Luckily, your friends at RK Motors have a real knack for finding
standout builds. And, as a perfect blend of custom virtues and the
kind of showstopping aesthetics that'll always be attractive to
enthusiasts, this exceptional C10 is about as standout as it gets.
Looking for a fun ride that's sure to turn heads? Take a close look
at this SEMA-featured bowtie!
SEMA SUPA STAR
Professionally assembled by Ryno Built of Joplin, Missouri, this
SEMA-featured Chevy represents a pinnacle of retro performance and,
quite frankly, is probably one of the coolest pickups ever built. A
long way from the 1971 long wheelbase it began life as, Brown Shuga
has hardly any surfaces that weren't carefully massaged for maximum
display. After hours of precise metalwork, a solid fleetside
profile was sealed in a custom mix of PPG Root Beer Brown
two-stage. And it all adds up to one sleek, eye-catching resto-mod
that looked right at home on the pages of the February 2021 edition
of Classic Truck Performance Magazine!
A one-year build that features heavy customization, this choice
classic gives new meaning to the term show stopper. The finishing
begins with a polished bumper, which hangs LED parking lamps
beneath a bright grille that's dotted with a custom bowtie and
modern United Pacific headlights. Above those LED torches, a domed
hood leads polished wipers, which clear a traditional, vent window
greenhouse. That glass gets reflected in tidy billet mirrors, which
flow well with factory-style rocker trim and factory-look United
Pacific marker lamps. Factory door handles work quality Trique
Manufacturing latches. A hand-fabricated bed tilts custom sides
between filled stake pockets and a stainless-trimmed floor. And out
back, United Pacific LED taillights illuminate a custom roll pan
and a smoothed tailgate.
AN EXCELLENT BLUEPRINT
Glitz is great but is brawn better! Enact this C10's Suspa hood
struts and you'll find 355 cubic inches of small block might that
was sourced directly from the pros at BluePrint Engines. At the top
of that cast iron beast, stylish O'Brien Truckers air cleaners
funnel breeze into FiTech tri-power fuel injection. That system
rides a lightweight aluminum intake, which feeds lightweight
aluminum heads that tilt finned and painted valve covers under
finned and painted breathers. Fire comes courtesy of a hot MSD
Pro-Billet distributor, which sequences spark through loomed
PerTronix plug wires. A KWiK Performance serpentine drive spins a
muted water pump between a proven Powermaster alternator and a
muted AC compressor. Cooling is provided by a beefy DeWitts
radiator, which makes excellent use of dual SPAL puller fans.
Exhaust rumbles through coated Patriot headers. And the truck's
smoothed and painted engine bay includes choice detailing like
Lokar sticks, a New Port wiper motor, Rebel Wire wiring and
requisite Slosh Tubz inner fenders.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Because modern power begets modern motivation, this Chevy's
body-matched mill feeds a trusty 4L60E 4-speed that, sourced
directly from Joplin, Missouri's Gayle's Transmission, is paired
with a proven FiTech controller. Out back, a narrowed 9-inch spins
a Truetrac differential and big, 3.89 gears between 31-spline
axles. That Metallic Black pumpkin pushes a custom, fully boxed
frame that's been professionally powder-coated and braced with
Classic Performance Products crossmembers. Those bones roll on a
custom trailing arm rear-clip that makes excellent use of a Panhard
Bar and CPP link arms. A custom front-clip stacks tubular control
arms on a Porterbuilt Dropmember. Naturally, the truck's channeled
body is equipped with Air Lift Performance bags, which flex thanks
to VIAIR compressors. Reactions are quick thanks to power
rack-and-pinion steering. Power-assisted CPP calipers clamp six
pistons on drilled and slotted rotors, front and back. A great
soundtrack is provided by custom JBA Performance exhaust. Choice
detailing includes a Powermaster starter and twin Optima gel cell
batteries. And at the corners, color-keyed U.S. Mags Bonnevilles
spin 255/30ZR22 Toyo Proxes in front of 335/25R22 Toyo Proxes.
THE GLORIOUS SOUND OF CUSTOM
Pop the doors and you'll find a tasteful custom interior that
features a cool combination of glossy paint and supple leather.
Stitched TMI buckets align nicely with a stylish console that hides
controls for the truck's air suspension. Custom side panels hang
crisp MB Quart Z-Line speakers between plush carpet and factory
handles. Those speakers sound great supported by a four 10-inch
Magico TITAN subwoofers, three roof-mounted Hifonics amplifiers and
a JVC touchscreen head unit. A leather-lined dash hangs updated
telemetry next to cool Vintage Air conditioning, which works well
with Lizard Skin insulation. And the driver spins a polished and
half-wrapped steering wheel around a polished shifter, muted Lokar
pedals and a tilting column.
Perpetually cool and mechanically fulfilling, this impressive Chevy
is an appealing take on the traditional truck concept. Combining
world class customization with world class power, it's simply
spectacular from every angle. Don't miss your chance to own one of
the best C10s on the planet!
