Time for everyone to be talking about your pickup. After all, the original patina'd paint disguises a full custom A/C interior, upgraded chassis, and 430+ hp fuel-injected stroker V8. So from the moment they hear the rumble, to when they see the custom engine bay, all eyes will be on you. This looks like it was just pulled from a barn, and that's absolutely cool. In fact, they didn't alter the original medium olive paint from when this truck went into restoration. Instead they gave it a nice buff and polish to highlight the patina earned during its decades as a workhorse. But this body is all about being secretly rewarding. From the new chrome to the good door gaps, detail people can instantly see there was some careful work on the exterior. And the 20-inch Budnik wheels are an instant indication that there has been a big investment in this pickup. But before we go into all the cool restomod details, just remember how functional this unique build can be. You'll never worry about throwing a hardware store run in the truck bed, and the trailer hitch hidden behind the license plate makes you the coolest hauler to tow the toys. Inside is more carefully crafted custom work. This seating was created to be reminiscent of the factory bench, but the new comfortable plaid cloth does a great job of matching the green interior paint. Plus, it has a nicely integrated cup holder center console. The tan carpeting features piping that coordinates nicely with the upholstery and door panels for a total uniform package. In the center of the dash are controls for the ice-cold air conditioning and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo that has everything from Bluetooth to a full Rockford Fosgate speaker system. But the best luxuries are reserved exclusively for the driver. You grab the three-spoke Budnik steering wheel, and beyond that is a complete set of Dakota Digital gauges that includes a large speedo and tach. Under the hood is the real treat, because the ultra-smooth inner fender walls funnel all your attention to that bright V8. The block, valve covers, master cylinder, and air topper have all been custom painted, and the Mello Yello text on top tells you they knew exactly what they were doing with the neon glow of the paint. Beyond the style is some serious substance. You're looking at a BluePrint Engineering 383 cubic-inch stroker crate motor that's exceptionally fresh with less than 770 miles on the whole build. In fact, this even still comes with a warranty! But more than just the appeal of new, this has been fortified and enhanced for performance. It includes fuel-injection, 10:1 hypereutectic pistons, hydraulic roller cam, aluminum heads, aluminum AirGap intake, HEI distributor, Hedman shorty headers, and much more (call for all the details.) The full package is rated at 432 horsepower. The big power package is utilized by a strong 400R4 four-speed automatic transmission with 2,800 RPM stall converter. This feeds a 12-bolt rear end with Positraction and 3.73 great for good all-around performance. More than just big power, this is a great all-around driver. After all, not only does the transmission have highway-friendly overdrive, but also the large aluminum radiator keeps this running cool even in traffic. And while you're looking over this whole pickup, don't forget to check out the undercarriage photos. There you'll see how thorough the restoration was where even the frame was powder coated. And this is the perfect setup for a performance pickup. With a thick sway bar up front, newer bushings all-around, power steering, and the C10's desirable trailing arm rear suspension, it's got some great moves of the streets. And you'll even outmaneuver plenty of cars out there thanks to the investment in a full Ride Tech Street Grip suspension, extra grip of modern Toyo tires, and Baer drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes. This fresh build comes with a ton of receipts to document all the amazing features of this custom pickup. Amazing trucks take so much time and money to create that they rarely leave their creators. So don't miss your rare opportunity at this patina machine that offers the best of everything. Call today!!!
