INTRODUCTION: This Cheyenne short bed has been treated to a body
off frame restoration combining classic style with modern
performance. Under the hood is serious horsepower, underneath is a
completely restored chassis, and its lowered stance gives it just
the right attitude. Best of all, it still retains the nostalgic
red-and-white two-tone Cheyenne look that made these C10s so
iconic.
EXTERIOR: This C10 has the classic, nostalgic look everyone loves.
It's a desirable short bed pickup with a lowered stance, giving it
just the right attitude. The body is straight, clean, and fits
together very nicely, finished in a smooth, glossy red and white
two-tone that complements the Cheyenne trim package and its
distinctive side moldings. A cowl hood adds a subtle performance
touch, while the truck rides on 20-inch American Racing wheels
wrapped in General G-MAX performance tires. It appears that the
chrome bumpers, trim, moldings, and mirrors have all been replaced,
giving the truck a fresh, like new appearance. The fuel filler has
been neatly relocated to the rear quarter panel. The windshield has
been replaced, the remaining glass is tinted, and modern LED
headlights along with a cargo light.
INTERIOR: It is every bit as appealing as the exterior, combining
classic styling with tasteful upgrades. The bucket seats have been
reupholstered with firm, supportive cushions, and between them is a
matching buddy seat that folds down into an armrest with cup
holders. The instrument panel is new and features a factory style
tachometer, while a deluxe steering wheel is mounted on a tilt
column. All of the interior metal has been refinished in the same
bright red as the exterior, giving the cab a clean look. It also
features a new dash pad, a new heater control panel, a deluxe
headliner, replaced visors with a lighted vanity mirror, fresh
carpet protected by Bow Tie floor mats, and restored door panels
with new armrests and handles. For modern entertainment, there's a
Boss touchscreen stereo paired with kick-panel speakers and an
amplifier mounted under the seat. It's a comfortable, clean, and
well-finished interior that's ready to enjoy.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: At the heart of this C10 is a 383 stroker
that's reportedly making an impressive 500 horsepower! It's
equipped with aluminum heads, an Edelbrock RPM intake, a large
dual-feed Holley carburetor, HEI ignition, coated Hooker headers,
and a set of tall cast aluminum valve covers dress it up nicely. A
modern serpentine front runner system drives the accessories,
including air conditioning, power steering, and the alternator,
while power brakes add to its drivability. Every component appears
fresh and well detailed, including the aluminum radiator with dual
electric cooling fans. Even the windshield washer squirters are
hooked up and functional. The engine bay is finished with slick
painted metal throughout, making it as clean and attractive as it
is powerful.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed, the metal is straight and
beautifully finished in the same high gloss red as the exterior.
The floor features refinished oak wood planks secured with polished
stainless steel strips and hardware, giving it a clean
appearance.
UNDERSIDE: This C10 received a body off frame restoration, and the
underside reflects the quality of the build. The frame and chassis
components are finished in semi-gloss black, while the underside of
the cab is solid, rust-free metal protected with a durable black
chip guard coating. The steering and suspension have been
completely rebuilt with lowering springs and upgraded front and
rear sway bars for improved handling. It features front disc
brakes, rear drums, and a functional emergency brake. The fuel
system is new with a relocated fuel tank. A great sounding dual
exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers runs beneath the truck. Looking up
at the engine, everything is clean and detailed, including a
high-torque starter. Power is sent through an upgraded 4L80E
overdrive automatic transmission with a FAST EZ-TCU controller, to
a rebuilt driveshaft and a rugged 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 posi
gears and a chrome cover. Even the underside of the bed is finished
with wood slats, making this truck as impressive underneath as it
is on top.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: It's the kind of truck that turns heads, sounds great,
and is just as much fun to drive as it is to admire!
