This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Restomod combines the unmistakable
styling of Chevrolet's iconic second-generation C10 pickup with
modern LS power, upgraded suspension, improved braking, and a
comfortable custom interior. Finished in striking Toyota Dark Grey
Metallic, this short-bed pickup delivers an aggressive street-truck
appearance while retaining the classic body lines that make these
trucks so desirable.
Under the custom cowl-induction hood sits a 6.0L Vortec LS V8
engine paired with a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission. The
fuel-injected engine utilizes a factory-style ECM for dependable
operation and drivability. According to the previous owner, the
truck idles around 650 RPM and cruises at approximately 60 MPH
while turning just 2,000 RPM, making it a comfortable choice for
highway driving. The engine compartment is neatly presented with a
Vortec 6000 intake cover, custom intake plumbing, and upgraded
braking components.
The suspension has been extensively upgraded to complement the
truck's lowered stance. CPP tubular front control arms, Belltech
suspension components, and a 5/7 lowering setup provide a sporty
appearance without sacrificing everyday usability. Wilwood
six-piston front and four-piston rear disc brakes, supported by a
hydroboost system, deliver substantially improved braking
capability over the original equipment. The underside also reveals
upgraded suspension hardware, a dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow
mufflers, and a clean presentation throughout.
The exterior is finished in Toyota Dark Grey Metallic, reportedly
painted approximately two years prior to the original listing. The
deep metallic finish pairs exceptionally well with the blacked-out
grille, color-matched bumpers, custom cowl hood, and black
multi-spoke wheels featuring polished outer lips. The lowered
stance gives this C10 an aggressive profile, while the clean body
lines and minimal exterior trim maintain its timeless
appearance.
Inside, the cabin has been updated with a custom black and gray
interior featuring three individual reclining and sliding seating
positions. A custom steering wheel, tilt steering column, upgraded
instrument cluster, and refreshed interior trim create a
driver-focused environment. Vintage Air heating and air
conditioning provide modern comfort, while an Alpine Bluetooth
stereo and 6.5-inch speakers deliver upgraded audio
entertainment.
The pickup bed features a protective black liner and a fitted bed
cover supported by gas struts, providing a practical and finished
appearance. The bed retains its traditional utility while
complementing the truck's custom street-oriented design.
With approximately 8,000 miles reported, this 1972 Chevrolet C10
represents an appealing combination of classic Chevrolet styling
and thoughtfully selected modern upgrades. From its fuel-injected
6.0L LS V8 and 4L80E transmission to its Wilwood braking system,
upgraded suspension, and comfortable custom interior, this C10
offers the character of a vintage pickup with the performance and
convenience enthusiasts appreciate in a modern restomod.
