Vehicle Description
When it comes to 'old school cool', it doesn't get much better than
a tricked-out pickup. Comfortably accommodating two passengers and
boasting the coveted ability to haul anything from a building block
to a big block, these fabled workhorses combine the best
characteristics of a flashy coupe with the straight up utility of a
commercial truck. And, in ultimate homage to golden age Detroit
design, they seem to ALWAYS look great! Wrapping modern air
conditioning, a quality Phoenix 4-speed automatic and 350 cubic
inches of buff ATK small block in show worthy aesthetics, this
impressive Chevy is one of the nicest C10s on the market. And if
you're looking for a reliable head turner that mixes timeless style
with great performance, it's a solid stake for your next
classic!
TRUE TO FORM
The beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration, this super
cool pickup features a solid steel body that's been completely
stripped, completely disassembled and carefully refinished in a
correct combination of White and Medium Olive two-stage. That
thoroughly massaged profile centers beautiful fit and finish under
bright reflections that bounce off Kansas-flat surfaces. And
naturally, those factory-spec planes present a roster of tasteful
details. At the front of the truck, an intricate grille flies a
bold "C H E V R O L E T" banner between modern Hella headlamps,
traditional parking lamps and a fresh stainless shell. A fresh
bumper guards a legendary short bed profile that floats crisp
markers and fresh door handles amid ornate Chevrolet Custom trim. A
domed hood, led by a familiar blue bowtie, fronts a crisp
greenhouse, which stretches quality LLumar 80 tint and correct
Custom frames between satin wipers and polished wipers. A "C H E V
R O L E T" branded tailgate seals a painted bed that's been
equipped with a relocated fuel filler and a rugged Holley cargo
mat. And out back, traditional taillights illuminate a second fresh
bumper.
POWER BY ATK
Tilt the hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of proven ATK High
Performance Engines crate motor that twists healthy 9.1 to 1
compression into an easy 325 horsepower and 375 lb./ft. of tire
turning torque! At the top of that seasoned 4-bolt block, a painted
and decaled air cleaner jambs wind into a bright Quick Fuel
Technology 4-barrel. That Lokar-controlled carb, sequenced to
braided lines, a coated pump and an electric choke, feeds a painted
Weiand Speed Warrior intake. That intake feeds cast iron ATK
cylinder heads, which stack a billet breather and stylish,
Chevrolet Orange valve covers on cast iron exhaust manifolds. A hot
hydraulic cam works well with powdered connecting rods and
hypereutectic pistons that are dressed in moly rings. A reliable
HEI distributor sparks loomed Taylor plug wires. Pliable V-belts
spin a color-keyed water pump between a modern alternator, a coated
AC compressor and a lucid power steering pump. Speaking of water, a
muted aluminum radiator circulates ample coolant. And overall, the
Chevy Orange beast looks great between a Medium Olive firewall and
slick, Satin Black fenders.
PART RESTO, PART MOD
Behind that spry powerplant, a cooled 700R4 4-speed, sourced
directly from the pros at Phoenix Transmission Products, twists
torque through a 2,800 RPM stall converter. That converter kicks a
familiar 12-bolt axle that's built with a posi-traction
differential and big 3.73 gears. Everything rolls low and mean on a
proven, factory-style chassis that's been C-notched in the rear. At
the back of that frame, RideTech trailing arms cage RideTech
coil-overs and predictable lowering blocks. Opposite that clip, an
upgraded front-half sandwiches two more RideTech coil-overs between
RideTech StrongArms, a RideTech sway bar and 2.5-inch drop
spindles. Factory-style power steering makes parking easy and turns
a cinch. Quick stops come courtesy of meaty Wilwood calipers that,
with the help of hydroboost, clamp 20 pistons around 13-inch
drilled and slotted rotors. Stainless pipes route spent gases
through deep Flowmaster mufflers, which ride just in front of a
stainless, 22-gallon Rick's fuel tank. And power meets the pavement
through Gunmetal-tinged Billet Specialties Prisms, which spin
245/40ZR20 Nitto NT555 G2s in front of 275/40ZR20 Nitto NT555
G2s.
FACTORY CUSTOM FORM
Pop the doors and you'll reveal a fully restored cockpit that
populates Chevrolet's stylish Custom trim with a roster of
thoughtful and purposeful upgrades. Fresh Olive vinyl dresses a
wide bench seat to match retractable lap belts and fresh, fade-free
carpet that's correctly protected by color-keyed floor mats. In
front of those thrones, a two-tone dash hangs crisp Dakota Digital
telemetry beside cool Vintage Air climate control and modern
RetroSound audio. That deck, capable of both Bluetooth and MP3
music, bumps Focal amps, Focal subs and premium speakers that are
housed behind custom kick panels. Fresh door panels look great
dressed in factory handles and factory armrests. And the driver
spins a GT Performance steering wheel around Dakota Digital Cruise
Control.
Both alluring and practical, this awesome Chevy is a tastefully
refined take on the enduring concept of the American pickup truck.
Combining great craftsmanship with proven mechanicals, it presents
the rare opportunity to land a show worthy classic that easily
doubles as a sorted weekend cruiser. Don't miss your chance to
claim this awesome C10!
