1970 Chevrolet C10 Restomod

Description

This 1970 Chevrolet C10 is a classic pickup with updated V8 power, solid cruiser upgrades, and the kind of style that makes this short bed Chevy timelessly popular.

The steely gray color is a great modern application that does a good job of being both intimidatingly dark while still giving a nice metallic glow in the sunshine. There's a nice gloss to the finish that goes nicely with deleted badges. And the good chrome on the bumpers and trim adds radiance. There are even cool details like the 18-inch Riddler's alloys, wide chrome dual exhaust tips, and lowered stance. Plus, the fuel filler is in the bed because the gas tank was relocated to a more ideal placement underneath. You'll find that it's a nice looking total package with a driver-quality feeling, and that feels right because this is the kind of truck that loves to hit the road.

The full black interior goes well with the exterior dark grey. Plus, it has been refreshed to give you a period-correct feeling, including the western-style pattern and wood-like paneling on the door panels that made these C10s famous. The carpeting, headliner, and dash have a clean look of a recent investment. But they also put their investments to the right subtle upgrades to make it a better driver, such as an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input, wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and a column-mounted tach.

Within the smooth fender walls lies a 5.3-liter V8. While this is an upgraded LS-based motor, it makes sure to give you some of the right old-school upgrades fitting a classic. That's why you have an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and sweet-sounding Flowmaster mufflers on the dual exhaust. Plus, pieces like the aluminum radiator and MSD ignition are there to keep this a strong runner. The TH400 three-speed transmission is a stout unit that also provides smooth automatic shifting. This feeds a strong 12-bolt rear end. And features like the trailing arm rear suspension, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide modern tires are all part of a truck that's easy to enjoy at any time.

When you look at the fundamentals this classic Chevy provides, you realize this is a great deal on an upgraded short bed C10. So don't let it slip away. Call now!
