Vehicle Description
This cool pickup truck started life like any other C/K pickup, but
thanks to an extensive upgrade, it looks like what a muscle car
would look like if it had to grow up hauling bricks for a living.
Hard to believe that a 1987 Chevy C10 pickup could attract this
much attention, but when you look this good, it's probably easy to
do.
At first glance, even in bright sunlight, this sucker looks great.
The charcoal gray paint is rendered in two-stage urethane that
still looks good despite the build being a few years old, and
that's a tribute to the care it has received since it was
completed. It's not perfect and it's been driven, but this is a
truck that looks better than most. Of course, a few choice of body
mods give it that hunky look, including a cowl-induction hood and a
billet grille, but it's still totally functional with big side
mirrors and big chrome bumpers that shine up well. You can look
down the sides of this truck and see how much time went into
getting it straight, and it's obvious that this wasn't a backyard
special, but a truck that took time and money to get to this level.
If you like how it looks, you won't be disappointed by how it fits
together. It's also ready to work, thanks to a spray-in bedliner in
the 6-foot bed.
Inside, there are a few modifications, but mostly they chose to
keep it pretty stock. The factory bench seat was covered with a new
black vinyl seat cover to give it a stock look, and black carpets
are joined by matching mats to give it a luxurious feel and to help
control noise and heat. The original dash has a cool metallic
finish and the auxiliary gauges are modern white-faced dials that
work with the low-mounted tach and shift light. Power windows are a
nice find and there's an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit that makes for
good entertainment out on the road. The 4-spoke steering wheel
really dresses up the interior and with a light tint on the
windows, it has a sinister look.
For reliability, there's a built 350 cubic inch V8 that includes a
decent-sized cam that gives it a nasty idle, Edelbrock high-rise
intake manifold, and a Holley 4-bartrel carburetor. The entire
engine bay was nicely detailed with plenty of aluminum pieces and
nicely finished inner fenders that make for a nice stain black
backdrop. Long-tube headers feed a set of cackling Flowmaster race
mufflers with turn-downs just ahead of the rear axle and it does
indeed sound nasty. The stock suspension has been lowered but still
rides quite well, and this sucker is amazingly clean underneath. A
TH400 3-speed automatic feeds the original rear end, so it's a
great highway cruiser that doesn't mind doing a little work now and
then. Wheels are Pacer aluminum hoops wrapped in staggered
215/65/15 front and fat 295/50/15 rear blackwall radials that give
it the perfect stance.
This truck represents a lot of custom work and fun for not a lot of
scratch. They upgraded the visuals and took the mechanicals to the
next level, so you can drive it anywhere without worries. Call
