BODYWORK/TRIM
As far as styling goes, few vehicles have aged better than late
'60s and early '70s Chevrolets. In fact, toeing the line between
rock-solid and refined, the Action Line C/K is probably one of the
most attractive trucks ever penned. Built to dominate the ISCA show
circuit, this awesome C10 seals custom Bahama Blue and Galaxy
Silver paint under custom Scott Brown airbrushing and multiple
layers of wet-sanded clear. That detailed pigment highlights a
laser-straight body, which is the direct result a $150K rotisserie
restoration completed by Hot Rods by Rohrer's of Burlington Kansas.
That clean body's top-notch metalwork is, from the outside of its
panels, completely undetectable. And best of all, those panels
remain just as GM designed them, with nothing frenched, filled or
altered in any major way.
That said; there are some cool details that really make this build
pop. The reboot began with a billet grille, which hangs bright
halogen headlights above a mirrored bumper and factory parking
lamps. Behind that grille, a cowl induction hood leads the eye to
smoked, stainless-trimmed glass that's centered between polished
wipers, a chrome antenna and a small cargo light. At the sides of
that glass, the truck's patriotic profile has been shaved of
everything but traditional door handles, sleek mirrors and classy
marker lamps. Inside that profile, polished hardware secures an Oak
bed, which utilizes 14 coats of finish to reflect a custom stake
pocket fuel filler. And at the back of that bed, a stamped tailgate
complements trim-free taillights and a second mirrored bumper.
ENGINE
Crack this Chevy's engine compartment and you'll find a glowing
powerplant that features a nice mix of polished and triple-plated
componentry. The nucleus of that componentry is a 350 cubic inch
Corvette block that's been fitted with Street & Performance Tuned
Port Injection. When chrome fuel rails sync with a quality Lokar
throttle linkage, a mirrored air cleaner sends oxygen in to
polished Brodix heads that are capped with polished breathers and
polished valve covers. Those heads hide a Comp High Energy cam that
breathes through coated Dynaflow headers. Combustion is sparked by
a familiar HEI distributor, which sequences fire through thick MSD
Super Conductor plug wires. At the front of those wires, a polished
Street & Performance serpentine system spins mirrored pulleys, a
chrome AC compressor and a polished alternator. And in front of
those ancillaries, a polished aluminum radiator hangs a
bowtie-branded cap between corrugated hoses, a polished fluid
reservoir, a big puller fan and a billet-topped battery. Visually,
the hot small block rides in a smooth, color-keyed bay that's
complete with smoothed and mirrored fenders. And details like
polished fluid lines, polished Eddie Motorsports hinges, an
aluminum oil pan and a chrome brake booster create 100% show-ready
aesthetics.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
With modern power on tap, it should come as no surprise that the
bottom of this C10 features a host of noteworthy upgrades.
Everything starts with a sturdy, factory-spec chassis that's been
thoroughly smoothed and dipped in glossy paint. Behind the
glare-inducing engine, a dressed 700R4 4-speed spins power to a
chrome-capped, 12-bolt axle that's fitted with a posi-trac
differential and big, 3.73 gears. That fully sorted drivetrain
rides a trick Air Ride Technologies suspension that's built around
sturdy sway bars, lucid power steering and quality Classic
Performance Products drop spindles. Stops come courtesy of Wilwood
4 and 6-piston calipers, which squeeze a quartet of drilled and
slotted rotors. A custom stainless fuel tank utilizes an internal
Holley pump to supply a steady stream of fossils. The
aforementioned headers feed coated, 3-inch pipes, which employ
polished Magnaflow mufflers. Power meets the pavement through
stylish Billet Specialties SLGs, which twist 255/45ZR18 Dunlop SP
Sport 9000s in front of 295/40ZR20 Dunlop SP Sport 9000s. And
everything, from this Chevy's finned transmission cooler and
stainless fluid lines to its painted floor pan and color-keyed
fenders, is fresh, expertly finished and ready for show.
INTERIOR
Outfitted with a taught combination of charcoal and blue surfacing,
this pickup's warm and welcoming interior is every bit as stylish
as the rest of its build. The stars of the show are modern
Silverado buckets that, in addition to sporting custom suede
inserts, feature full power adjustment for the truck's driver. In
front of those seats, a painted and airbrushed dash hangs factory
telemetry beside Vintage Air climate control and Panasonic
touchscreen infotainment, which jolts 4-inch Kicker speakers, a
10-inch Kicker subwoofer and Kicker tweeters through a 1,000-watt
amplifier. Beneath that dash, a modern console hides a small Air
Ride Technologies control panel and remote for the aforementioned
head unit beneath trick billet cupholders. Below that console,
clean carpet frames polished door sills, custom floor mats and
billet foot pedals. At the sides of that carpet, svelte door panels
found petite armrests behind billet handles. And in front of the
driver, a bowtie-branded steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit
column.
