Details

This 1963 Chevy C-10 has been built with nothing but the best in mind. Tuned LS3 GM engine cranking out over 450hp connected to Tremec 6-speed, balanced aluminum driveline and 12-bolt Eaton posi-traction. Has all the bells of a modern vehicle, such as power rack & pinion steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, power seats, power windows and ice-cold air conditioning. Frame is heavily modified, boxed and notched, and fitted to the LS drivetrain. Frame has been built for show and, with its base coat/clear coat paint, looks as good from the underside as the top side. The bed has lots of modifications as well. Bed sides are now welded as one unit, eliminating seams, and have been fitted with inner sides from another C-10 for double-wall bed. Bed wood is finished to a furniture-like look and its perimeter lined with LED lights. The tailgate is also double-wall and is opened by liner actuators by the push of a button. The tailgate also is now supported with a cable, eliminating ugly steel arms. Doors have been shaved and fitted with Corvette door touchpads that open with the touch of a button. Rain gutter has been removed from the cab for much cleaner look. Under the hood there's a 'wow' factor; clean and very well-fitted. Engine is tucked in very tight and low to give it a stock-like modern appearance. Nice big-rig truck horn to clear traffic, powered by the Air Ride system. Truck's suspension is supported by air bags, powered by a compressor and custom air tank. Air suspension can be switched to CO2 with the touch of a button, so you don't have to listen to the compressors running at the shows. The interior has been made up to flow with the GM LS3 SS drivetrain, using seats, console, vents and other pairs removed from Camaro SS. Modified dash and custom door panels flow together nicely. Gauges are nothing but the best: Auto Meter with Chevy monograms. Custom sound system with rare Bluetooth connection. Two 8' Kicker square subs fit nicely behind the seats, delivering ground-shaking base. Doors are fitted with Rockford Fosgate speakers in custom enclosures. Truck turns heads with its low-tuned Flowmaster exhaust.
