There's an awful lot to love in this 1968 Chevrolet C10 pickup with its great color combination, perfect stance, and serious big block power. So if you've been searching for a do-it-all weekend warrior, this truck should be your leading candidate. The first thing you notice about this truck is the bright blue paint. Modern clearcoat and a professional hand applying it gives it the kind of shine usually reserved for chrome. Because of that, only the best brightwork would... do. That's why you can see a true investment in mirror-like chrome bumpers, complete bright trim, and of course, the 20-inch Ridler wheels that immediately capture your eye. Those wheels combine with the lowered suspension to really create aggressive stance - making sure that no one will mistake this custom for anything straight from the factory. But this is still a true truck, and so the bed has the kind of flat black paint that will never make you think twice about using this classic Chevy to help with the weekend chores. The deep blue from the exterior returns in the interior on the door panels and lower dash, and now its joined by a factory-style blue bench to give you a cool vintage feeling. This merging of classic and modern feelings continue as you look across the dash. The original equipment is still in place, and it's now joined by auxiliary readouts and a modern AM/FM/CD stereo with an aux input for modern music players. You'll slip behind the upgraded three-spoke steering wheel, and that gives you a clear view of the original gauges, as well as the Sun Super Tach. And once you grab the B&M shifter, you'll senses will tingle from performance even before you twist the key and hear this pickup roar. Pop the hood, and you'll realize you're staring down one monster motor - a 454 cubic-inch big-block V8. It's upgraded with components such as a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and a Howe aluminum radiator with dual electric fans to keep it all running cool. Headers and a throaty dual exhaust system sound awesome with the tips right in front of the rear wheels. A stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission shifts without hesitation the moment your foot hits the carpet, and the modern grip of Toyo tires really help the power meet the pavement. Plus, these Chevys are sought after for their smooth-riding trailing arm rear suspension. Combine this with power steering and front disc brakes, and this street-eating truck is also a comfortable Sunday driver. This is one of those few well-built pickups that has the plenty of motor to back up its aggressive appearance. You can choose to be the intimidator at the car show, or just watch as traffic parts for this beast during your morning commute. Don't miss out, call today!
