Bold paint, excellent trim, a performance small block, a five speed transmission, and so much more makes this 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom a very cool classic pickup with all the right upgrades.If you're a Chevy person you call this color Hugger Orange; if you're a Pontiac person you call it Carousel Red; but if you just love classics, you say "Wow!" That's because the shade represents a take-charge attitude that ensures this truck will never fly under the radar. But there's style in this intimidation. It starts with the pristine chrome on the bumper and grille. It continues all the way down the side with the premium factory body stainless, including the lower one that still wears a '70s-cool wood strip within the brightwork. And the large 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are just a terrific icon. But when you see the black liner paint in the bed, and feel how the doors shut with authority, you also realize this cool cruiser can still earn its keep.Inside the bold exterior paint returns as a standout on the doors, dash, and steering wheel. It's joined by a brown vinyl that is a perfect complement to the wood paneling on the exterior trim. The overall presentation is a fresh and comfortable classic pickup with an aggressive streak, and it only gets better when you take a closer look. For example have you counted the gears on the floor mounted stick shift year? Also you might have an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input, but we're willing to bet you're favorite soundtrack will come from the rumbling dual exhaust every time you twist the key.This performance feeling is confirmed the moment you lift the hood. The presentation of the engine bay is fantastic with the bright air cleaner and Chevy orange radiating power from within the black inner fenders. This 350 cubic-inch V8 has been given go-fast goodies such as Holley four-barrel carburetor, Holley Street Dominator intake, Mickey Thompson valve covers. You get a fantastic sound out of the dual exhaust that you have complete control over thanks to the upgrade to the five-speed manual transmission. And what a treat for the highway. These C10s are really sought-after because of their trailing arm rear suspension, which helps makes these Chevys ride better than most other vintage pickups. This is joined by some nice daily driver type features, too, such as the front disc brakes and modern Nitto performance tires at all four corners.Complete with owner's manual, this is the vintage pickup that's wild enough for weekend fun, but it also has all the right practical features to be a working pal, too. It's the best of everything on one turnkey pickup package. Don't like this Chevy pass you by. Call today!!
