Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this
eye-catching 1964 Chevrolet C10 Shortbed Restomod, combining
timeless Chevrolet styling with stroker V8 performance and modern
driving comfort. Finished in a striking glossy blue with a subtle
turquoise hue, accented by a contrasting white roof and matching
white side moldings, this custom pickup stands out from every
angle. Its desirable shortbed Fleetside configuration, lowered
stance, polished American Racing wheels, and bright chrome details
create a bold, unmistakably classic look. Under the hood, a
torque-rich 383 stroker V8 backed by a 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission gives this C10 the performance personality to match
its aggressive appearance.
The exterior showcases the iconic lines that have made Chevrolet's
early C/K-series trucks favorites among collectors and custom
enthusiasts. The brilliant blue finish pairs beautifully with the
white accents, while the classic Chevrolet grille, round
headlights, chrome bumpers, and bright trim preserve its vintage
character. A lowered suspension gives the truck a purposeful,
street-focused stance, sitting close to the pavement over polished
American Racing five-spoke wheels wrapped in performance tires.
Around back, the Fleetside bed features attractive wood planks and
metal strips, adding traditional truck character to this custom
build. The combination of vibrant paint, classic proportions, and
carefully selected upgrades makes this C10 a natural centerpiece at
cruise nights, car shows, and weekend gatherings.
Under the hood sits a 383-cubic-inch stroker V8, an
enthusiast-favorite small-block combination known for its excellent
blend of torque and horsepower potential. The additional
displacement provides strong low-end response and muscular
acceleration, while the engine's rev-happy character makes it
enjoyable throughout the RPM range. Summit Racing aftermarket
cylinder heads help the engine breathe, while a Holley Sniper
electronic fuel injection system modernizes fuel delivery.
Long-tube headers complete the performance combination, helping the
V8 exhale while delivering the unmistakable sound of a classic
American small-block.
The Holley Sniper EFI system brings modern electronic fuel
management to this traditional V8 setup, offering responsive
throttle control and convenient starting when properly installed
and calibrated. The engine is also equipped with an aluminum
radiator and electric cooling fan to support temperature
management. A Summit Racing serpentine belt drive system gives the
engine compartment a clean, modern appearance while integrating the
belt-driven accessories. Together, these upgrades create an
appealing performance package that blends traditional small-block
character with contemporary hardware.
Power is delivered through a 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission, a popular choice for classic Chevrolet restomods. Its
overdrive fourth gear helps lower engine RPM during highway
cruising compared with a direct-drive transmission, while its lower
first gear provides useful leverage off the line. Paired with the
torque-rich 383 stroker, the 700R4 offers an appealing balance of
strong acceleration and relaxed cruising capability. This
combination makes the truck equally attractive for enjoying around
town or heading out for a longer weekend drive.
The chassis benefits from power steering, making low-speed
maneuvering and parking more convenient. Braking upgrades include a
CPP-based master cylinder setup and power-assisted disc brake
conversion, complementing the truck's custom stance and
performance-oriented wheel package. Along with its lowered
suspension, these improvements contribute to a more modern driving
experience while retaining the appeal of a classic pickup.
Inside, the cabin complements the exterior with body-color-painted
interior surfaces, a dark gray dashboard and door panels, and a
black bench seat featuring patterned fabric inserts. The upgraded
instrument cluster features white-faced gauges in a polished
engine-turned bezel, including a speedometer, tachometer, oil
pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and voltmeter.
This additional instrumentation gives the cabin a
performance-inspired appearance while providing useful engine and
vehicle information.
A custom steering wheel mounted on a tilt steering column adds
comfort and an updated driving position, while a retro-style
digital AM/FM radio combines classic aesthetics with modern
convenience. Vintage Air air conditioning is another welcome
upgrade, bringing contemporary climate control to this vintage
Chevrolet. With power steering, upgraded brakes, modern
instrumentation, and air conditioning, this C10 offers a compelling
combination of old-school character and modern amenities.
The appeal of this 1964 Chevrolet C10 Shortbed Restomod lies in the
way its upgrades come together. The blue-and-white finish, polished
American Racing wheels, and lowered stance deliver the visual
impact, while the 383 stroker V8, Holley Sniper EFI, Summit
cylinder heads, long-tube headers, and 700R4 overdrive transmission
provide an enthusiast-focused powertrain combination. Add the
aluminum radiator, electric fan, serpentine belt drive, power
steering, power disc brakes, and Vintage Air, and you have a
classic Chevrolet built around the features today's restomod
enthusiasts appreciate.
If you're searching for a vintage pickup with standout looks, a
torque-rich stroker V8, overdrive cruising capability, and
desirable modern upgrades, this 1964 Chevrolet C10 deserves your
attention. Whether it's cruising the boulevard, attending local car
shows, or enjoying a spirited drive, this custom shortbed delivers
classic American truck appeal with a performance-minded
personality.
