1971 CHEVROLET C10 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This 1971 Chevrolet C10 pickup underwent a complete frame-off custom restoration. The truck was taken down to the bare frame and modifications were made to accommodate the Air Ride Technologies system with Level Pro controls. The cab, bed and front end were stripped to bare metal. The drip rail was removed from the cab, all marker lights were removed, door handles were shaved, the bed stake pockets were filled, the tailgate latch was relocated to the inside of the bed and a completely new custom

bed floor was built. A steel grille shell was acquired, and a 1968 grille was inserted into the 1971 shell and then the shell was welded to the front fenders to create a one-off front end. The truck was then blasted, epoxy-sealed and blocked to perfection and painted Peugeot Beige Gizeh by Arizona Automotive Finishes. Beck Racing Engines in Phoenix, AZ, built the 468ci Chevrolet big-block engine that was dyno-tuned to an average 543hp. Hughes Transmissions, also in Phoenix, built the TH400 and mated it to a Gear Vendors overdrive unit that was set up as a splitter, creating six possible output ratios to hold up to the torque of the big block. The 12-bolt rear end was equipped with a posi-traction and 3.73 ratio gears, then powder-coated black. Four-wheel disc brakes from Baer brakes were installed with a billet CPP master cylinder and chrome brake booster. A complete custom suede and leather interior was installed with bucket seats and center console, all featuring billet insert accents. The stereo system includes an amplifier, custom kick-panel speakers, two subwoofers behind the seats and tweeters in the dash. Interior comfort is provided with Vintage Air system, Classic Instruments gauges and a custom steering wheel. This build is sitting on Billet Specialties 20-inch wheels. **TITLED AS 1971 CHEVROLET UNKNOWN**
