1972 Chevrolet C10

Chevrolet has been designing and building pickup trucks since 1924. Over the years “C” referred to two wheel drive trucks and “K” referred to four wheel drive trucks. 1967 introduced the second generation of trucks and went through 1972. Up until this point General Motors had produced a vehicle for one purpose, solely to be used as a work truck. GM was now looking to add convenience features to make for a more comfortable ride. The new generation of trucks were built with coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which created a much smoother ride than the traditional leaf springs.

After a complete frame off restoration all done in the last three years, this radical ride is ready for your consideration. Although the frame started out just fine, it was shipped to a local frame shop to be squared up and straightened and is now tighter than factory specs. The motor was completely rebuilt, complete with an aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans. This is a Flat tappet, drag ready, engine. Attached to the engine is a brand new, freshly rebuilt 700R4 Transmission with a B&M shift kit. The rear end is also freshly rebuilt with posi track and electronic converter lock for highway driving. The battery has been located with a custom tray on the frame. The MSD ignition box you see on the firewall serves the purpose of housing some switches for popping the doors open if need be. Pulling up to the gas pump is actually fun in this truck, as the fuel door has been re-located to the driver's side tail light and is remote controlled to pop open by the push of a button. The doors also open up keyless. The dash, steering wheel, and gauges are also custom billet. The leather seats and custom center counsel were also added for cruising comfort. The truck is painted in bright, flawless, Hemi orange. A custom billet grille was added as well. The truck rides on 18 inch wheels in the front and 20 inch wheels in the rear and gives a great muscle look. The sound system is phenomenal, there is a JL audio amp with custom subs built into a custom box behind the seats. The air conditioning works great. There was obviously no expense spared on this truck and it is ready to satisfy your wants.
