Flashy muscle cars are fun and polished customs are nice, but there's really nothing cooler than a well-done truck. No gimmicks, no frills and no posturing: just power and presence -- LOTS of presence. This exceptionally clean C10 is a traditional stunner that mixes 383 cubic inches of Chevrolet V8 with a proven driveline, sinister aesthetics and a detailed, frame up restoration. And if you're looking for a cool classic that's both road ready and show-ready, it's the perfect way to cruise the scene and turn some heads!

WHAT COLOR IS IT?

Sorted, solid and ready to roll, this sweet Action Line C10 is the beneficiary of a 3-year thorough restoration that presents itself with a bit of mystery. Look at it one way and in the shade and this stunner appears black. Look at it from a different angle and you’ll be presented with the underlying violet and purple metallic hue making you wonder what color is this truck! That reboot makes excellent use of deep black multi-stage BASF custom show paint. Wet sanded and buffed to perfection, onlookers will stop you at traffic lights and ask you “what color is your truck?.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE CHEVY THAN A BUFF SMALL BLOCK!

Raise the hood and you’ll find 383 cubic inches of raucous Chevrolet small block built to make 500 HP! At that top of that iron mill, a trick bowtie spinner cinches a polished air cleaner with a Holley Sniper fuel system underneath. At the back of that intake, a hot MSD distributor swirls sparks around attractive polished valve covers. Beneath this array of fuel system supply, you’ll find the aluminum headed 383 funneling spent gases through Headman coated headers. You’ll also find an array of neatly chromed accessories and a highly detailed engine bay.

RESTORED TO BE BETTER

Look to the bottom side and you’ll find a solid frame lightly undercoated that compliments 2-inch drop spindles with familiar lowering blocks. The 383's power flows through a dressed newly built 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission that’s ready for highway cruising at a low RPM. Turns come courtesy of fluid power steering while stops come courtesy of a brake booster which jolts two calipers and two drums. The custom exhaust funnels spent gases through throaty Flowmaster mufflers and polished stainless tips. And everything rolls on new US mags featuring 10.5” rims and 11.5” tires.

CUSTOM IS BETTER

Between the doors, the bowtie-branded stock seat has been tastefully paired with premium carpet. A billet-trimmed dash hangs a new Dakota Digital VHX gauge set that makes this truck provide accurate and reliable information to its pilot. The factory air conditioning and stylish Lokar shifter gives this interior even a bit more "pop". A new Kenwood, Pioneer, and Polk Audio stereo system that’s ready to play your favorite tunes has been professionally installed and sounds awesome!
