an amazing high-end build that was a complete ground-up, frame-off
restoration. Great care was taken in the build to retain the design
elements that are unique to vintage C10 trucks yet utilize current
technology and engineering to build a truck that looks original yet
runs and drives like a modern vehicle. The factory frame was
modified using Detroit Speed suspension components. Up front
tubular A-arms provide the dropped stance and are supported by
adjustable coilover shocks, and the steering has been upgraded with
a power rack and pinion unit. Out back the four-link suspension
with panhard bar rides on adjustable coilover shocks and keeps the
GM 12 bolt differential equipped with 3.73:1 gears firmly planted
to the pavement. The stance on this truck is menacing with a nice
rake that looks fast just sitting still. Baer four-wheel slotted
and drilled disc brakes are on all four corners with 6 piston
calipers up front and 4 piston units in the rear which bring this
vintage truck to a stop like a modern Corvette. The attention to
detail of the build is evident in the quality of the fabrication of
the suspension to the hand-bent custom fuel lines and brake lines
and so much more. The underneath of this truck has been kept clean
and is well-detailed and is near show-ready as it sits. This custom
chassis set-up rolls on Rushford Rated X custom alloy spoked wheels
with low-profile Z-rated low-profile tires. The drivetrain between
these frame rails is a 5.3 LS motor that has been modified with
aluminum heads, Holley intake, and carburetor. A set of faux valve
covers hide the coil packs underneath and with the vintage
Chevrolet script and cast-iron manifolds, this motor at a glance
looks like a stock GEN I motor topped with a stock GM dual snorkel
air cleaner. Of course, once you hear the thumping idle rolling out
of the MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system you realize there is a
lot more going on in this powerplant. This combination produces 440
hp that is transferred through a GM 700R4 4-speed transmission back
to the rear differential via a custom aluminum balanced driveshaft.
An aluminum air cleaner with electric fans keeps this hot setup
running cool. The firewall and inner fenders have been caressed and
smoothed to give the engine compartment a clean look. The bodywork
on this truck has been professionally executed and each panel has
been massaged to be laser straight and the body fitment and
alignment are show quality. The factory fuel tank behind the cab
has been relocated and updated with an aluminum fuel cell at the
rear of the frame with the fuel filler inside the rear of the bed.
Other touches include custom inboard tailgate latches and
hand-fabricated rear wheel wells to encase the monstrous rear
rubber. The work is so subtle yet it looks like it is factory.
Numerous coats of clear were applied over the deep black paint and
each coat was meticulously polished in between each application to
provide a mirror-like finish. The chrome bumpers were re-chromed to
show quality and all the related stainless trim is either new or
restored. Finally, the same care taken with the metal work on this
truck was taken with the wood floor in the truck bed with the wood
finished to a deep gloss. Inside the cabin, the attention to detail
continues. The steering wheel is a restored 1960 Chevrolet Impala
mounted on a tilt steering column. The dash is a custom unit built
to resemble the rare stock factory unit complete with full gauges
including a clock and tachom
