The third generation of Chevy's C/K series, typically known as the
"Square Body" or "Rounded Line" generation, is quickly becoming a
fan favorite thanks to its strong looks and stout stance. This 1974
Chevrolet C10 LS1 Restomod is decked out in beautiful Catalina Blue
with a white side wrap, complemented by an aggressively lowered
profile and impossible-to-miss 20-inch American Racing Torq Thrust
II wheels. With its modern powertrain and a mere 9,581 miles on its
odometer since it has been built, this muscle truck has plenty of
life left for its next lucky owner.
Inside, we find a well-designed blue vinyl interior with a spacious
bench seat that offers an expansive view of the contrasting
woodgrain dashboard trim. Matching woodgrain panels and map holders
are also found on both doors. A three-spoke, power-assisted,
woodgrain wheel sits just ahead of a six-pod Dakota Digital gauge
cluster, featuring a large 120 mph speedometer and 8,000-rpm
tachometer, which takes center stage. A quartet of auxiliary gauges
sits to the left of the steering column, while a retro-style
AM/FM/AUX head unit with Bluetooth connectivity fits nicely in the
original location, and sliding HVAC controls keep temperature
control nice and easy.
Under the hood, we find a modern 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 engine. With its
aluminum block, 806 Corvette heads, composite manifold, and Hedman
shorty headers, there is no doubt this motor is capable of easily
matching (or besting) the 345 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of
torque the LS1 is known to make in C5 Corvettes. Spent gases are
expelled through a true-dual exhaust capped off with a set of
FlowMaster mufflers. Power is routed through a 4L60E four-speed
automatic transmission before heading to the GM 12-bolt rear end,
which transfers those ponies to the pavement via massive polished
wheels and low-profile rubber.
