Vehicle Description
You want cool? You've got it with this 1970 GMC C10 pickup. With a
high-visibility paint job, a cackling fuel-injected LS2 V8, and a
tasteful interior, they don't come any brighter than this. It also
helps that this one has the perfect stance, lots of performance,
and a practical short bed that can still work for a living.
If you're looking for a truck to drive and enjoy, they don't come
much nicer than this. Hugger Orange looks great on anything from
the muscle car era, especially something born in 1970 such as this
GMC. It seems to be wearing a combination of fresh and original
paint, which means that there are no secrets or bad surprises
waiting under the surface and it has an overall look that's very
appealing. A glance in all the nooks and crannies shows that this
truck probably spent the entirety of its life down south where it's
warm and while there are a few bumps and bruises here and there,
the sucker looks awesome going down the road. The white top is a
traditional look that GM pickups have worn for years, and it
contrasts wonderfully with the modern stance and rolling stock. Add
some bright stainless trim and chrome bumpers to break up all that
orange, a neatly lettered tailgate that looks traditional, and a
bed protected with a spray-in bedliner, and, well, you have one
heck of a truck.
The flashback to the '60s continues inside with a light tan
interior that's seldom seen in pickups but looks and works great.
The tan upholstery works well with the Hugger Orange paint, and the
durable vinyl seating surfaces should last practically forever. We
believe the carpets and seat cover are recent, and it's been fitted
with matching door panels and a wood-rimmed steering wheel to add
to the luxury-oriented vibe. An array of factory gauges is
included, including a rather rare factory tach, and they're
augmented with a set of white-faced dials for water temperature,
oil pressure, and voltage in the original holes. A column-shifted
automatic means that three-across seating is comfortable, not
awkward, and heavy-duty floor mats seem to suit the truck just
fine. There's also a decent-sounding AM/FM radio in the original
slot, so it looks right but provides a nice update over the
original AM unit. Looking for a truck you can drive cross-country
without complaint? You've just found it.
Part of that driving pleasure comes from the late-model LS2 6.0
liter V8 fitted between the fenders. Pulled from a 2002 Chevy 2500
pickup, it was tuned by the pros at LSexperts who have made it run
like the factory built it. But even though it's a modern
powerplant, it has a 1970 performance look, complete with Chevy
Orange paint on the engine cover. There's a big aluminum radiator
up front, a custom air cleaner unit, and OEM-style hoses and wiring
to make it work reliably. It's backed by a stout 700R4 4-speed
automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear, so you don't have to
worry about actually putting it to work (this would be an awesome
tow vehicle for your Camaro!). The underside is typical of a
vehicle that has lived someplace warm, and while it's unrestored,
it has been well maintained and drives superbly, especially with
the lowered suspension and power front disc brakes. A pair of
Flowmaster mufflers give it a mellow exhaust note and those Torque
Thrust wheels are fitted with fat 255/55/18 performance radials for
a great street stance.
This is a well-built truck with great hardware and a brilliant
paint job. The fact that it can also earn its keep around the house
only makes it easier to get approval for the purchase. Call
