When it comes to performance, durability and sheer popularity, nothing beats a Golden Era Chevrolet truck. And, thanks to their simplicity and heavy duty hardware, classics like the Chevrolet C10 are ideal foundations for killer customs with healthy horsepower. This trick truck is the literal embodiment of American Muscle. Upgrades like custom upholstery and a modern automatic transmission make it perfect for unforgettable driving experiences, while classic lines, an exceptional stance and miles of bright paint are sure to create curb appeal. Looking for a 'just right' classic that's road ready, show-ready and just plain battle-ready? This fully-sorted Chevy has it all!
Naturally, the build was a body-off affair that included slick two-stage paint over a masterfully massaged body. Monochromatic trim and bumpers give the truck a clean understated look, while the lowered stance and striking 20 inch American Racing wheels let you know there is more here than meets the eye!
The scene under the hood begins to tell the rest of the story. The carbureted workhorse that previously adorned this space has been replaced with an all-aluminum 6.2L LS3 V8, sourced directly from Chevrolet Performance. Surrounding the modern powerplant is an engine compartment that has been painstakingly smoothed and color matched giving it the bespoke look only achieved by a hand built custom.
And the story becomes more impressive with a peek underneath. The entire chassis has been upgraded to a No Limits Engineering Pro-Tech chassis which allows modern geometry, lowered ride height and fully adjustable coil over suspension front and rear. Before power is put to the road, the LS power is wrangled by an overdrive automatic transmission and distributed by a stout Ford 9in rear end. Further back, a new custom fuel tank tucks neatly under the bed in favor of the factory location behind the seat. - A must have upgrade for this era truck. Adding further to performance and comfort is power rack and pinion steering up front and power disc brakes at each corner.
Climb inside to reveal a tastefully customized cockpit that's classy in all the right ways. Tight TMI upholstery dresses a pair of tall buckets to match a folding console and clean, custom fit carpet. A monochromatic dash houses updated gauges adjacent to controls for cool modern air conditioning. The driver spins a leather wrapped, tilt steering wheel surrounded by billet aluminum tipped control levers. And, to continue the modern theme, a fresh head unit powers new stereo speakers.
Looking for a modernized C10 truck but not all the overly personalized bling? You're looking at your next classic! Call, click or visit http://www.RKMotors.com to experience the scorching performance and classic mid-century appeal of this world class C10.
