For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet C10 in Ft Worth, Texas

While most older trucks are put out to pasture after their tenure as ranch hands or construction laborers is over, a few occasionally get to experience a second life. Whether that be as a fully stock restoration or something more fun like this 1968 Chevrolet C10 Restomod, sometimes, just as in human life, retirement can be far more exciting. One look at its full repaint in a gorgeous Teal Patina and big 20-inch U.S. Mags mounted on low-profile rubber, and it's not hard to tell this truck is something special.

Inside, we find a color-matched dashboard and trim offset by jet-black original-looking seats. The seven analog gauges sitting in front of the driver utilize digital readouts for mileage and engine temperature, while a cool-blue hue glows as a backlight to give another hint at the chill personality this truck exudes from every angle. The upgraded Pioneer stereo allows for a bit more modern entertainment, while the old-school HVAC levers remind you how far this truck has come in time.

Under the hood is where this truck turns from laid back to aggressive. A modern 5.3-liter LS Vortec V-8 topped with 862 heads sits comfortably in the clean and spacious engine bay. Power from that small block is then sent through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the 12 bolt rear end. A true dual exhaust with an H-pipe takes spent gases from the shorty headers and sends them out through a sweet-sounding FlowMaster exhaust to give this C10 a rumble worthy of a true restomod.

Aside from the obvious, this 1968 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has moved its fuel tank to the bed for better weight distribution and safety and upgraded white-out taillights that mesh perfectly with its character. Power steering and power front disc brakes make long trips far more comfortable, as they should be. We may never know what this truck's first life was all about, but one thing is for sure, this resurrected version is definitely a lot more fun. The only thing it's missing is an owner to enjoy the ride with it. Call today!
