What you want in a custom vintage truck is power to spare, ice paint, nd cool features. That's why this 1966 Chevrolet C10 is perfect right down to its value price.From the outside this one looks like it's a pickup that has been taken care of for nearly half a century. But look a little closer, nd you begin to see how much extra work went into keeping this one great. For starters, he red and white two-tone paint has a shimmer that never looked that good when it left Chevy's factory... and the chrome is like staring into a mirror. The exceptionally straight body is the result of meticulous labor to correct decades of being a workhorse. But the heart of any good truck, ts blue-collar roots, as not been completely erased. The real wood truck bed is complete, ut it shows signs of having to earn its keep... That means you don't have to be afraid to load your latest project into the bed. The classic painted steel wheels have a really cool contrasting pattern thanks to the white hub covers and whitewalls. But once again, closer look reveals modern Kumho tires. This need for modern grip is your first indication that this pickup might be hiding some serious power.Open the door, nd you'll see that not many vintage trucks have this level of interior restoration. The black vinyl bench is pristine and a good match for the new carpets. The dash has been hit with a coat of silver paint that really helps to bring out the florescent green glow of the original gauge package. You also have heat/defrost and an AM/FM/CD with a USB connection for modern tunes. But there's something more to this pickup. This one feels a bit more like a muscle car than a truck. The automatic transmission is mounted on the floor just within reach of the wheel in case you ever want to do some of your own shifting. Plus, here's an auxiliary tachometer as well as a new cluster for oil, ater, nd power readouts. Look under the hood, nd you'll see something special. The largest motor available in this generation of the C10 was 327 cubic-inch V8, nd most only got an inline 6 cyl., ut this one was given a transplant from a later, arger small-block V8. The 350 motor is not only a powerful unit, ut you instantly can tell from the engine bay that there has been a lot of work to make sure it's nearly bulletproof. All the hoses and wires are in great condition and organized with care. When you combine this power with GM's TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, ower brakes, nd power steering, his Chevy becomes the truck that can do it all. This is the one you can cruise with on a Saturday night and then hook the boat to the tow hitch for a Sunday on the lake.This Chevy C10 has all the right looks of a vintage workhorse, ut underneath the skin is a very wild beast.
