Vehicle Description


1983 Chevrolet C10 Pickup
Exterior
Classic Chevrolet trucks from the 80s are quite the hot item these
days. Any classic truck is for that matter, but truth be told, its
the boxy retro look that people are after, and this truck is the
epitome of that design. A straight horizontal ribbed grille with
its stacked inset headlights and parking light setup just below,
and on this example, a body matching turquoise separation bar
leading to the gold bow tie in the center. Shiny and mirror-like
would best describe the bumper below. This beautiful setup fronts a
steel cowl induction hood and straight steel with well minded gaps,
all bathed in deep 2 tone GM White and Hyundai Turquoise. Dual gold
pinstripes surround the central white with the turquoise above and
below to grab you and make you move closer! Good chrome attachments
are on the doors in the form of mirrors, and handles. All glass
surrounds front and rear have shiny trimmings and the drip rails
above the doors have been shaved off for a much sleeker look. The
short bed version is covered with a tan tonneau canvas bed cover,
and underneath is bed with a sprayed-in liner and much larger than
stock wheel tubs. You will have to inspect closely on this truck to
find any real faults as a really nice job on the restoration has
been performed. Polished 15-inch Weld Draglite wheels are on all 4
corners and are wrapped in 215/75 rubber in the front and gigantic
29x15.5 meats in the rear.

Interior
The wonderful restoration continues with the nicely padded plastic
and vinyl door panels. Smooth plastic in tan with shiny cranks and
door releases front these panels with padded dark brown door pulls
and clean tan carpeting finishing off the bottom. Slipping inside,
a newly covered bench welcomes us and two other passengers if
needed. This bench is covered in a saddle leather with a nice tuck
and roll pattern on the lower cushion that flows up the seat back
and top dead center of the seat back is a Bowtie embroidered into
the seat. Smooth dark brown bolsters and piping set the saddle off
nicely. The original tan dash with shiny showroom like bezeled
Dolphin gauges is in front of the leather wrapped billet style
steering wheel. Mounted within the dash we also see an AM/FM/CD
stereo and controls for the Vintage heat and A/C system. Dark brown
padding finishes the top of the dash while white painted steel down
low provides the perfect contrast. Tan carpeting for the floods the
floors and on the hump is a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter in a small
console. Above is a tan felted headliner hanging tightly and
proud.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is simply put: "eye candy" in the form of a
consignor-stated 383ci V8 stroker. This mill sports aluminum heads,
is stuffed with a solid lifter camshaft, a mirror polished intake
and a QuickFuel 4-barrel carburetor. This all works together to
create a consignor stated 500hp. A TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission with a 3400rpm stall converter is on back along with a
Ford 8" spooled 4.10 rear axle. Also seen are shiny headers and
totally polished bolt ons abounding throughout including the March
serpentine pulley system. Smoke em if you got em!

Undercarriage
Not to be outdone by the topside, the undercarriage appears to have
never seen bad weather, and is also fully restored. A powder coated
frame provides the backbone for rust free steel floors which have
been coated in Raptor liner. The front, independent coil springs
are on, and the rear has leaf springs with Caltrac bars. We note a
fully rebuilt suspension front and rear along with the rear leaf
springs being relocated inboard of the frame to allow for the huge
rear tires. Power disc brakes are on front, and power drums for the
rear. Hooker headers feed a shiny Flowmaster exhaust with chrome
rectangle tips that exit just in front of the rear wheels. We note
a hydroboost system for the brakes along with all new lines and
hoses.
