This highly detailed classic custom pick up has just 400 miles since a complete and comprehensive rotisserie restoration. The truck has all new parts/restored parts from top to bottom and is ready to show or cruise.
The body of the truck was blasted to bare metal and the frame was stripped down as well. The frame was then powdercoated in a gloss grey and the rest of the suspension components were either matched to the body color or powdercoated to match the frame. Most body hardware was replaced with stainless and and the door, hood, and trunk hinges are all chrome. The body is very straight and the paint itself was extensively color sanded and buffed to a high sheen. The bed is done in the classic oak and has multiple finish coats, giving it a big shine. All of the bed bolts are polished stainless and the contrast between the wood and the high quality paint finish is striking.
All of the glass is new, and the wing windows have been eliminated for a cleaner look. All of the stainless trim is new and has a bright polish, and the chrome is all new as well. Upon reassembly, the trunk has a new bushing set, all new rubber moldings and all new door seals.
The interior is finished in grey leather and alcantara that compliments the detailed frame nicely. The door panels are custom leather with alcantara inserts and the dash has been leather covered and has a double stitched edge. The seat is a split bench with a center console and a storage compartment, and the roof is done in alcantara as well. The truck also has a custom firewall cover to compliment the rest of the custom interior. One peak under the dash and you will find all new wiring and tubing for the A/C system. Speaking of the A/C, it is operated through the factory controls, and in the place of the radio is a Retro Sound radio. The nicely thought out interior wraps around the bench seat and carries on the nice flow. The billet steering wheel is hooked up to a chrome Ididit tilt column.
The motor is the tried and true Chevy 350 that has been completely rebuilt. On top sits a Holley carb and Weiand intake. Spark comes from an MSD Pro Billet distributor. On the front of the motor is a billet serpentine system with A/C by March. Keeping things cool is high capacity radiator with dual electric fans. The transmission is a Turbo 350, and the rear end is a 12-bolt Posi unit with 3.55 gearing. The trucks rolls on 20 inch Billet wheels with 275/40/20 Bridgestone Potenza tires. The motor makes smooth and reliable power complemented by nice rumble from the Jet Hot coated exhaust system.
For a show quality truck that you can really get out and drive, this 1972 C10 is the cat’s whiskers.
