Good
solid Chevy C10 short-bed wide-side pick-ups are always a
favorite and like this one, they are even better when they
are tastefully updated in true Resto-Mod style. Focusing
on original factory style without body-modifications,
power-train enhancements, safety and creature comforts...
Resting
on a very thorough restoration that began with a known
solid California specimen. The whistle straight body is
very sanitary and finished in a period GM light green.
Completed about 12 years ago and very roadworthy with only
8,700 careful miles. Features include restored
bright-work, all new tinted glass, factory mirrors,
removable bed cover, spray-in bed liner and hidden
receiver hitch...
The
factory chassis features a slightly lower stance with
power Disc front brakes, power steering, front stabilizer
bar, professionally upgraded (2k Miles ago) 4-Bar/Link rear suspension,
fully adjustable coil-over rear shocks, GM 12 bolt Posi-Traction
rear differential (308 ratio) and rolling on polished 17"
Eagle Alloy wheels with Nitto speed rated radial tires
(255-50/R17 front & 275-50/R17 rear)...
Resting under the hood is a
powerful and smooth running GM 350 385HP Fast Burn V-8
crate engine, GM aluminum intake manifold, Holley 4bbl
carburetor, GM HEI ignition, aluminum water pump, heavy
duty cross-flow radiator, flex fan with shroud & fan
clutch, Hedman Comp long tube headers, custom 3" exhaust
and transferring the power is a new crate Turbo 350
automatic transmission...
Moving inside, the tasteful
use of factory style is combined with body color paint
finishes, Cheyenne seat trim and modern comforts. Features
include upgraded Vintage air-conditioning/heat, factory
tilt w/column shift, full factory instrumentation
w/tachometer, 1970 AM/FM audio w/kick panel speakers,
standard black door panels, dark gray carpet and floor
mats...
In closing, this is an
excellent driving rig with absolutely no excuses. Subtle
modifications, nicely done, refreshingly tasteful and
relatively bling-free, you will enjoy this solid and very
honest hauler... |
