From first owner to full performance upgrade, this 1978 Chevrolet
C10 Silverado Big 10 LS3 Restomod shows what $77,000 in
professional work can create. Painted in Cerulean Blue Firemist,
this long bed truck displays a vibrant color that's close to
factory but with more intensity. The 15-inch wheels fill out the
wheel wells with 33x12.50R15 General tires giving this truck a
bold, planted stance. Blue bedliner in the cargo area and newer
chrome trim add sharp contrasting accents to the exterior, with a
full-size spare in the bed.
Navy blue cloth and vinyl cover the bench seat, creating a classic
yet comfortable interior space. The dashboard houses Dakota Digital
analog-style gauges for a factory look with modern precision. A
billet shifter topped with a Q-ball knob controls the six-speed
manual transmission. Additional interior features include
RetroSound AM/FM radio with Bluetooth capabilities, a black billet
steering wheel on a tilt column, and fully functioning Vintage
brand air conditioning. Custom storage solutions include a tray
behind the seat and strategically placed speakers in the door
panels and cab corners. Fresh black carpet underfoot completes the
well-executed cabin.
An LS3 V8 GM Performance Crate engine provides substantial power,
equipped with a mild performance cam and 0821 heads. With only
2,980 miles on this powertrain, this truck offers many years of
reliable enjoyment. The Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual
transmission links to a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.55 gears for
excellent acceleration and highway cruising. Four-wheel power disc
brakes with Wilwood master cylinder offer superior stopping
ability. The suspension system features tubular A-arms with coil
springs up front and a solid axle with leaf springs in the rear.
Black hydraulic hood hinges, Borgeson gear box, and a Flowmaster
dual exhaust system round out the impressive mechanical
package.
