Description

This 1972 Chevrolet C10 doesn't really count as a pickup truck anymore. Sure, t's got a cab and a bed and all that, ut with a blown 454 under the hood, quick-shifting automatic transmission, nd an awesome look, t's a bare-knuckle street brawler now. The combination of Hugger Orange and bright white paint is certainly period perfect for the truck and for the height of the muscle car era. It was refinished and built a few years ago and is still in good condition, lthough its show days are probably over. But that's OK, ecause this one really excels at driving, nd you're going to want to do a lot of that once you taste all that torque. The blower sticking through the hood is the biggest deviation from stock, nd it definitely delivers a big intimidation factor. Paint is shiny, he bodywork underneath is quite good, nd the crisp lines between the colors look professionally done. Original emblems on the front fenders are a nice touch, ut the grille is a replacement billet piece that gives the front end a clean, mooth look and the rear bumper has been replaced by a roll pan that cleanly frames the big, old CHEVROLET lettering on the tailgate. I suppose you could still haul stuff in the bed, hich has been covered in spray-on bedliner material and offers slightly widened fender wells to cover the oversized rear tires. So yes, f you have something you need moved with alacrity, his Chevy delivers.The handsome interior is anchored by a set of tan leather captain's chairs from a late-model, hich work surprisingly well in the vintage pickup's cab. Hugger Orange on the doors and dash ties it together, ut strangely it isn't overwhelming and actually quite tasteful. Contrasting carpets certainly help, s does the woodgrained Grant GT steering wheel. Factory gauges monitor the blown engine, ncluding a somewhat rare factory tach, nd It's also got a tilt steering column that makes it easy to get comfortable behind the wheel and an upgraded stereo system that sounds great thanks to good sound insulation in the cab. Tinted windows and a sliding rear window help keep things comfortable inside, oo. Nice, ight?But this truck's real attraction is the thundering 454 cubic inch V8 under the hood. Topped with a Littlefield 8-71 supercharger and a pair of 4-barrel carburetors, t makes big horsepower so this truck feels like it weighs half as much. An MSD ignition system lights the fires and it's got a rather big cam inside, o an auxiliary vacuum canister supplies boost for the power disc brakes. A big radiator and electric fan keeps it cool without worries and it channels power to a rugged 12-bolt rear through a built TH350 automatic transmission. Long-tube headers feed a custom dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers that dump just under the roll pan in back and it sits exactly right, ot too low, ut low enough to look butch. Chrome 17-inch wheels fill the fenders and carry 255/50/17 BFGoodrich T/A radials all around.This truck is fast, ut it's also well-sorted and easy to drive, nd yes, f you need a pickup, t'll still pitch in and help now and then. Not many hobby vehicles can make that claim. Call today!
