1968 CHEVROLET K10 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This custom Hogan Built 1968 Chevrolet K10 corrosion-free pickup has been completely sandblasted, metalworked and bodyworked, resulting a concours-worthy refinish. After all this body spa treatment, it was slathered in a PPG Chevrolet Black and Ice White two-tone paint. Underneath there's a mirror finish just like the outside. Hand-laid pinstripes divide the two-tone colors while outlining the 'Chevrolet' on the tailgate. A set of 17-inch Inovate forged billet wheels come wrapped in 35-inch BFG All-Terrain tires. This K10 sits on a Roadster Shop RS4-spec chassis that was refinished in Graphite Gray. The chassis features Currie high-pinion axles, Fox 2.5-inch coilovers with hydraulic bump stops, dual sway bars and 4-linked front and rear. Topping it all off is a fully polished, hand-built, TIG-welded 3-inch stainless exhaust complete with four MagnaFlow mufflers. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel disc brakes that come backed with a Wilwood Hydro-Boost. Powering this beast is a Whipple-charged 6.2-liter LS engine built by Mast Motorsports producing 800hp on the dyno, mated to a Hughes 4L80E transmission with an advanced adapter to support the ATLAS transfer case. The LS3 aluminum block is refinished in Inferno Orange and features a 2.9-liter Whipple blower and a custom DeWitts aluminum radiator compete with all stainless lines and hoses. A custom air intake forces cool air into the engine, and it features vintage 'Chevrolet' valve covers with hidden coil pack adapter plates. This pickup is equipped with a Roadster Shop stainless full cell with dual Walborough fuel pumps, and the body also features a hidden taillight gas fill, Altman door latches, a stained wood bed floor and all flush glass. The exterior is finished off with modern-style billet door handles and billet mirrors.

The stunning interior features a factory-style bench seat using Snowden foam covered in black leather with gray stitching and cloud inserts. Taking it to the next level, 11-karat certified Australian fire opals have been set into the seat back. Keeping the dash classic are white Classic Instruments gauges and a 15-inch original-style steering wheel. The comfort level is kept perfect by a new Vintage Air system. The audio system is powered by a RetroSound head unit with custom-made speaker panels that hold two carbon 6.5-inch components and two carbon subwoofers. To tie it all together, the body, chassis and engine are wired with an American Auto wire harness that was professionally installed to fit perfectly. This is a true no-expense-spared, nut-and-bolt restoration.
