The 1972 Chevy C-10 laid out here is no mild cruiser-it's a
ground-up, fire-breathing resto-mod that blends vintage style with
modern, pissed-off performance. With only 1,286 miles since
completion, this truck is as fresh as it is ferocious. At its heart
beats a Blueprint 383 stroker V-8, cranking out 436 horsepower with
a nasty growl that lets everyone know it's not built for show-it's
built to dominate. The block is a 4-bolt main cast-iron setup with
10:1 compression, Blueprint aluminum heads with 64cc chambers,
hypereutectic pistons, and a hydraulic roller cam dialed at .544
intake and .555 exhaust lift. Add in a 750 CFM carburetor and a
Flowmaster exhaust system fitted with Granatelli electric cutouts,
and you've got the recipe for instant chaos at the flick of a
switch.
Backing that power is a 700R4 automatic transmission, chosen for
its toughness and ability to keep up with the torque being thrown
down. The drivetrain, put together by Matt Mondo at Arnst Ocean
Automotive in Delray Beach, Florida, is bulletproof, feeding into a
12-bolt Positraction rear end with 3.73 gears. This setup ensures
the C-10 doesn't just look mean-it puts the power to the ground
every time you mash the throttle.
The body is as striking as the hardware underneath. Wearing a slick
two-tone Spanish Gold and White finish by Tommy Zarella of Candy
Apple Customs in Boca Raton, Florida, this truck carries a street
presence that screams both vintage flair and modern edge. The gold
glows under the light while the white panels cut through with clean
contrast, a perfect nod to the custom culture of the '70s with
craftsmanship that shines today.
Everything about this truck has been touched, upgraded, or
perfected. The new cast steel crankshaft, OEM-type 5.700-inch
connecting rods with 150,000 psi bolts, and a one-piece rear main
seal, drilled and tapped for clutch linkage, all demonstrate the
level of detail that went into the build. Air conditioning and
power steering round it out, proving that even a snarling muscle
truck can keep its cool and drive like a dream.
This C-10 isn't just a restoration-it's a statement. Old-school
bones, new-school muscle, and a no-compromise attitude that makes
it as much a street fighter as it is a showstopper. From the sound
of the cutouts to the gleam of the paint, everything about this
Chevy was built to be badass, and it doesn't apologize for a single
thing.
