DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION: This shortbed is exceptional! Frame off build with GM crate motor and trans, performance suspension and brakes and a show quality presentation.
EXTERIOR: The exterior has a jaw-dropping finish that looks like a piece of wet, hard candy. Beautiful burgundy metallic, the paint glows with depth and richness, and the clear coat has been polished to a glass-smooth shine. The metallic is laid out evenly across every panel, producing crisp highlights and a liquid appearance that truly sets this truck apart. Equally impressive is the bodywork. The panels are laser-straight with no signs of rust, damage, or waviness, and the fit is excellent throughout. Doors, hood, and bed all align properly. The brightwork appears to be replaced, including the deluxe side moldings, vent window frames, grille, bumpers, emblems, mirrors, and marker lights. It even features new smoked glass and fresh weatherstripping throughout for a clean, finished look. Completing the stance is a set of 20 inch Riddler wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season performance tires.
INTERIOR: Inside strikes a careful balance between vintage charm and modern convenience. The factory-style gauge cluster maintains its original appearance, but it\'s actually a set of RetroTech digital-analog instruments - complete with a tachometer and even a clock. The stereo follows the same philosophy: a retro-style digital unit that fits neatly in the factory location and uses original-style knobs for a seamless appearance. Even the air conditioning controls have been thoughtfully upgraded, now operating with smooth electric slides instead of the old cable system. Bright LED interior lighting adds clarity and reliability, while a completely updated wiring system with a modern fuse block ensures everything functions safely and dependably. Visually, the interior is just as impressive as the technology behind it. All the metal surfaces are painted as slick as the exterior. The seat has been re-cushioned and reupholstered for comfort, complemented by new seat belts, deluxe door panels, armrests, window cranks, and handles. It features the optional headliner, a cushion-grip steering wheel on a tilt column, and fresh carpet with matching floor mats to finish it off. The result is a cab that feels classic at a glance - but thoroughly modern where it matters.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood, this C10 is powered by a stout GM crate 454 big-block, paired with a Edelbrock aluminum intake and modern EFI system for smooth, reliable performance. Ignition duties are handled by an MSD system, while a set of stainless headers feed the exhaust with aggressive sound and clean styling. The engine bay is fully dressed with a complete Front Runner billet accessory system, including a serpentine belt, AC compressor, modern alternator, and power steering. Braking is equally impressive, featuring a cadmium-plated power brake booster paired with a Wilwood master cylinder. Cooling is handled with a large aluminum radiator, waterpump and overflow bottle, supported by twin electric fans.The engine bay is as clean as the rest of the truck, with the metal smoothed and holes filled, then painted slick and glossy to match the exterior. It\'s fitted with a set of polished billet hood hinges for smooth operation. Every detail has been carefully finished, even the windshield washer squirters are hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed, the level of finish matches the rest of the truck. All the metal surfaces are painted as slick as the exterior. The bed has been fitted with wide wheel tubs to accommodate the oversized tires. The floor features beautifully refinished oak wood boards, accented by polished stainless trim strips. and hardware that gleam against the rich wood grain.
UNDERSIDE: This truck is a full body-off-frame restoration, upgraded with a complete QA1 suspension kit that transforms the driving experience while giving it a perfectly balanced stance. Up front, it features a tubular crossmember and control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks, a heavy-duty sway bar, and precise rack-and-pinion steering. Out back, a QA1 conversion continues the performance theme, with double-adjustable coilover gas shocks, adjustable tubular control arms, and a Panhard bar for superior handling and ride quality. The braking system is all business, with Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four corners, paired with a complete e-brake assembly. A full stainless steel, TIG-welded exhaust with X-pipe ensures both sound and efficiency, it has a relocated custom fuel tank too. Looking up at the engine, you\'ll notice an aluminum extra capacity oil pan and a high-torque starter, supporting the GM crate 454. Power is sent through a GM crate 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission, through a rebuilt driveshaft, and on to a 3.73 Positraction rear end, combining modern drivability with classic muscle-car feel.
