Chevrolet's legendary Square Body trucks have become one of the
hottest segments in the collector market, and the final years of
the C10 are leading the charge. The 1982 model represents the
evolution of a platform that earned its reputation through decades
of hard work, then found a second life as the perfect foundation
for high-end custom builds. This truck captures that modern Pro
Touring street truck attitude with classic Square Body styling
wrapped in brilliant red paint over a black and red interior.
Lift the hood and you'll find a built 6.0L LS V8 topped with
aluminum heads, long tube headers, an aluminum radiator with dual
electric fans, and a Vintage Air front serpentine system. Power is
sent through a dependable 4L80E automatic overdrive transmission,
creating a combination that's equally happy cruising the highway or
laying down serious power when the throttle drops.
The chassis has been transformed with performance and drivability
in mind. RideTech coilover suspension, RideTech tubular control
arms, a RideTech front sway bar, and a RideTech rear 4 link work
together with widened rear tubs, a C notched rear, four wheel disc
brakes, power steering, and power brakes to deliver handling that
far exceeds what Chevrolet engineers envisioned in 1982. American
Racing Salt Flat Special wheels complete the aggressive stance
while tucked bumpers, flush mount door handles, a flush rear
tailgate, capped bedsides, and a custom core support cover give the
truck a clean, custom appearance from every angle.
Inside, the custom touches continue with a custom bench seat
featuring integrated cupholders, TMI molded door panels, Dakota
Digital VHX gauges, power windows, power locks, air conditioning, a
RetroSound radio, aftermarket sound system, and a subwoofer mounted
behind the seat. A spray in bedliner keeps the bed protected while
preserving the truck's street-ready attitude.
Square Body Chevrolets have become one of the most sought after
trucks in the collector world because they combine timeless styling
with endless customization potential. This 1982 C10 skips the
project phase and delivers a professionally built LS-powered
package that's loaded with premium suspension upgrades, modern
comfort, and custom details. It's the kind of truck that draws a
crowd whether it's parked at a local cruise night or carving
through a winding back road.
