Vehicle Description
Forget factory-fresh restorations - this 1979 Chevrolet C10 takes
the Roadkill philosophy and runs with it! The truck rocks a
battlefield-worthy patina finish where mismatched panels meet a
transplanted '74 grille in perfect harmony. Slammed on a 4/3 drop,
the stance is killer - not too low to scrape, but just right to
announce its intentions from blocks away. The 17-inch Soft 8 wheels
with 235/65R17 front and 265/65R17 rear tires plant this truck on
the pavement. Every imperfection tells a story on this C10, making
it way more interesting than some over-polished show queen.
The cabin keeps things simple but effective with gray and blue
cloth upholstery covering a comfy bench seat. Someone clearly
thought about daily driving comfort, adding Killmat throughout to
keep road noise where it belongs - outside. The column shifter has
that classic truck feel, while the 5-digit odometer reminds you
this is old-school cool. Nothing fancy here - just the stuff you
need without the fluff you don't. The AM/FM radio might not blast
your eardrums, but it'll give you something to hum along with while
you mash the gas pedal.
Muscle truck? You bet. The 6.0L LS V8 is the real deal,
custom-built with high-performance goodies including a BTR stage 1
cam, flat top pistons, Gen 4 rods, and freshly machined 317
cathedral port heads. An Edelbrock 600 street/strip carb sits on
top of a dual plane intake, while MSD ignition lights the fire. The
TH400 transmission was rebuilt in March 2024 with a JEGS 2300
torque converter that'll take whatever punishment you dish out. A
12-bolt rear with Yukon 3.73 gears and posi puts the power down,
and power disc brakes up front make sure you can rein in all that
mad LS power when needed.
