Description
'Boogie Nights,' the brainchild of Phil Cato of Cato's Custom Upholstery, started life as a C20, 3/4-ton pickup. It was the recipient of a frame-off restoration and customization into a C10 pickup, where the suspension and drivetrain were upgraded, it was sandblasted and powder-coated classic black, and a heavy focus was placed on ARP-branded bolts. Underneath the hood, you will find CVF hood hinges, an engine bay body-worked and painted in a flat green, boasting a 2018 GM 6.2-liter V8 engine mated to an 8L90E 8-speed automatic transmission and running a CVF front-runner belt-drive system. The stock gas tank is concealed under the bed in the factory location, and the complete underside of the truck is undercoated in a smooth/textured undercoat finish. The power is expelled through a set of stock manifolds routed through a custom MagnaFlow stainless true dual exhaust. All of this connects with a Painless wiring body harness and a stand-alone engine and transmission harness. The brakes are controlled by stainless-steel lines and Baer 4-piston brakes, giving 'Boogie Nights' the ultimate in stopping power. The truck sits on a set of 20-inch Halibrand wheels, 20x8 in front and 20x10 in back, with a full QA1 coilover suspension, to give it the proper ride height. After the truck was restored with all-new sheet metal from AMD, it was meticulously body-worked and painted by Cato and Rockford Smith with Rockford custom paint. Together, they created the one-of-a-kind 'AvoCato' Green and the one-off custom painted stripes using only the best Akol Nobel Paint products. No detail was missed inside the bed, either. It was color-matched with textured/smooth undercoated finish. The interior was crafted by Cato himself, featuring Moore & Giles leather, a custom handcrafted foam seat resting on a stock frame, a Sparc Industries steering wheel and New Vintage gauges. 'Boogie Nights' also features Restomod air conditioning, which was placed in the original location. This truck has a set of 6.5-inch Focal speakers, resting in a custom-built set of lower door panels, and includes one 10-inch KICKER Comp RT subwoofer and a KICKER KX 800.5 amplifier behind the seats. This upgraded sound system is powered by a Classic Alpine tape deck that is retrofitted with Bluetooth. A complete new set of rubber, glass and seals were also installed. 'Boogie Nights' has been honored with a multi-page spread and the cover of Street Trucks magazine in March 2023. It was also featured at the New Vintage Gauges Booth at SEMA and was the Auto Metal Direct (AMD) Catalog cover truck. **TITLED AS A 1977 CHEV PK4700**
