1970 Chevrolet C10 Restomod

Description

There's serious style in this 1970 Chevrolet C10 restomod pickup. With the awesome custom exterior, fuel-injected Vortec power, and a beautiful and comfy interior, it's a head-turning cruiser. So people will wonder what car show you're going to even if you're just on a milk run.

The Octane red paint is an unmistakably modern color that won't confuse this car for anything straight from the factory. The glossy finish of the cherry hue takes advantage of the smoother style that comes from deleted badging to let the light dance across the whole truck's body. In fact, the finish feels just as smooth as it looks, and so you can really tell you can detail it on a Saturday and be ready for a prime sport at the car show on a Sunday. And there's plenty to show off here. We love how this one borrows a few cues from Chevy's muscle cars, like the power dome cowl hood and a hidden headlight front end that's pure Camaro RS cool. Plus, it shows off it has its own sense of custom style with the 20-inch Bonspeed wheels. They sit on a lowered stance to make sure to really set this one apart. But even with all this custom work, this still keeps the classic C10 premium full-length trim with wood-like inserts. It's a nice reminder that adding distinction doesn't mean forgetting where you come from.

The interior blends vintage style and upgrades with comfort in mind. The custom tan bench with tartan cloth inserts has a great 1970s vibe. But the moment you sit down, you feel the kind of bolstering that comes from a modern setup. The carpeting, door panels, and dash pad all have the inviting look of a proper investment. You've also got better driving music thanks to the retro-style AM/FM stereo w/aux input. There are even provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) It's also a fine driver with a grippy Chevy sports steering wheel and full Digital gauge cluster with speedo and tach.

The extra-tidy 5.3-liter Vortec V8 is a fun upgrade to have under the hood. After all, it's a Chevy truck motor but one from many generations younger than this classic C10. So just like the rest of the truck, it's an upgrade that respects its legacy. Plus, a fuel-injected powerhouse really makes this restomod a true cruiser. And you'll appreciate the details everywhere from the aluminum radiator that helps keep it all cool to the header-fed dual exhaust that gives you a nice V8 tone. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit that feeds the 12-bolt rear end. This has a narrowed Moser axles setup to upgrade the strength while also fitting those extra-wide rear wheels. A custom like this is meant to be driven, and so you've got great anytime features like a trailing arm rear suspension, power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and the grip of ZR-rated sport tires.

This C10 has the comfort, distinction, and investments to make it a head-turner with true driver appeal. So if you want an all-day cruiser that also has award-worthy potential, call today!
