1962 Chevrolet C10 Custom Pickup - House of Kolor Atomic Orange,
ZZ3 350 V8, Vintage Air, Leather Interior, Modern Audio, Wood Bed
(~5,000 miles since build)
This custom-built 1962 Chevrolet C10 is an excellent example of a
classic truck executed with a clean, cohesive vision-show-quality
presentation, real street manners, and the kind of details that
make it stand out in person. Finished in House of Kolor Atomic
Orange, it delivers serious curb appeal with a smooth, modernized
look while retaining the unmistakable 1960s C10 profile.
The build is reported to have approximately 5,000 miles since
completion, and the cab/interior/engine bay presentation all
support a truck that's been cared for and kept sharp rather than
used up.

Powertrain & Driving Experience
Power comes from a built 350ci ZZ3 V8 paired with an automatic
transmission, creating an easy-to-drive, strong-running combination
that's ideal for cruising, shows, and weekend use. The exhaust
system is finished with Flowmaster mufflers (confirmed in photos),
giving the truck the proper V8 tone to match the visual
presence.
The truck is also equipped with power steering and power brakes,
which is a major part of what makes a classic pickup like this
genuinely enjoyable to drive in modern traffic-light steering
effort, confident stopping, and overall comfort.
Exterior & Stance
The Atomic Orange paint has a deep, vibrant, high-impact look under
studio lighting and is complemented by a cleaned-up front-end
presentation. The photos also show integrated hood-mounted lighting
(marker/turn signal style) that helps streamline the front profile
and adds a custom touch without looking out of place.
The truck sits with an aggressive, modern stance on American Racing
20-inch staggered wheels, wrapped in:
245/35/20 front
275/40/20 rear
Interior: Custom, Comfortable, and Tech-Ready
Inside, the C10 features a tan leather interior with a custom bench
seat that includes perforated inserts, giving the cabin a
higher-end finish than a typical restomod pickup. A standout detail
from the photos is the carbon-fiber-look gauge panel fitted with
AutoMeter instrumentation, including:
Water temp
Volts
Oil pressure
Fuel level
Speedometer/odometer
Odometer note (photo-backed): the gauge photo shows 54,670 miles on
the odometer. Given the truck's custom build, you can market it as
~5,000 miles since the build while also noting the current odometer
reading as shown in photos.
Comfort is handled by Vintage Air A/C (controls visible), making it
far more usable year-round.
For entertainment, the truck is equipped with a JVC touchscreen
stereo with Bluetooth, and the photos confirm a behind-seat audio
enclosure featuring Kicker-branded components, adding real sound
quality to the driving experience.
Bed & Presentation
The rear bed is finished with a wood plank bed floor with metal
strips-clean, classic, and consistent with the rest of the truck's
high-end presentation. The bed was also previously stated as
refinished in February 2023, and the current photos show a bed area
that presents extremely well.
Engine Bay & Undercarriage
The engine bay is finished in body color and presents with a clean
layout, including visible Vintage Air components. Underneath, the
photos show a tidy chassis presentation with dual exhaust routing
and the Flowmaster mufflers called out above-details buyers care
about because they reinforce build quality beyond paint and
interior.
Summary
This is the kind of 1962 C10 that checks the right boxes: bold and
premium paint, clean custom touches, comfortable interior, cold
A/C, modern audio, and the stance/wheel setup that makes it look
"finished" from every angle. It's a truck built to be shown-and
also driven.
