Vehicle Description
This world-famous custom 1965 Chevrolet C10 6x6 pickup known as
"C10 Slayer" is powered by a built 900hp LSX B15 6.2-liter engine
from Chevrolet that has a 5-liter Whipple supercharger on top,
along with 8-stack fuel injection. That power is backed by a fully
built racing 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission with a Reid
Racing case. It's tuned to produce 900hp on pump gas. To finish off
the power plant, there are two custom racing rear-end housings
built to withstand over 1,500hp. One of these race housings was
created with a pass-through driveshaft, making both tandem axles
powered to create a 4-wheel burnout if needed. The TIG-welded
chassis is a full tube, hand-built racing chassis that utilizes a
roll cage from the front to the back, along with many custom
features holding racing cooling systems and suspension parts. The
suspension is a full hydraulic coilover shock that lifts the truck
all the way from the ground to a 5-inch-tall ride height with the
touch of an electronic button, while still maintaining the same
ride quality at any height. The Matte Black exterior features
widebody fenders, a front spoiler and cab wing that started as
fully CNC-machined molds to make perfect parts. The factory hood
had to be created into three pieces to keep the fenders stationary
for the widebody. The rear of the truck showcases a diffuser
encased by a widened tailgate to simulate a factory look, followed
by a full carbon-fiber custom wing created to be partially open to
see the detail of the tandem axles, suspension setup and custom
parts. This C10 is sitting on six one-off, three-piece custom
20-inch billet-machined wheels perfectly fit to the widebody with
Michelin racing tires. The interior roll cage was grafted into the
original factory interior to capture the original feeling and to
accomplish complete race car safety. The black/gray interior has
the feel of a modern truck with digital electronics, carbon-fiber
panels and comfortability. All interior aluminum panels, firewall,
floorboards and roll cage are handcrafted. The billet-machined
brake lever and pedals are connected to 6-disc racing brakes. The
complete wire harness is CAD-drawn and built with all aircraft
MilSpecWiring that also has headlights, taillights and turn signals
built in for functionality. "C10 Slayer" was created to look like a
real-life Hot Wheels truck by professional vehicle builders Doug
and Brad DeBerti of DeBerti Design. The father-son team has over 10
Best of Show awards from the SEMA Show, along with dozens of design
awards. The build was documented from day one on DeBerti's YouTube
channel. "C10 Slayer" has been the cover of Street Trucks magazine,
was a three-time SEMA booth show truck, has gone viral on social
media and has made appearances with Hoonigan. This custom pickup
will be featured in Microsoft's "Forza Horizon 5" vehicle video
game in late 2024 and is also currently pending to be become a
Mattel Hot Wheels truck in 2025.
