This iconic American truck, finished in a striking green with a contrasting white cab roof, combines classic charm with modern performance enhancements, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Performance and Powertrain –
Under the hood, this C10 is equipped with a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, installed in 2021, which boasts an LS9-spec camshaft and valve springs, a 4-inch air intake, and an American Autowire harness. Cooling is managed by a Holley aluminum radiator paired with Derale high-output electric fans. Exhaust gases flow through Hedman mid-length headers into a stainless-steel Flowmaster exhaust system with 3-inch finishers, ensuring both optimal performance and a robust sound. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6L90E 6-speed automatic transmission and a Moser rear end featuring 33-spline axles and 3.73:1 gears.
Exterior and Modifications –
The truck’s exterior is not just visually appealing but also thoughtfully modified. It features faux woodgrain trim along the sides and tailgate, a replacement front grille, upper trim moldings, and LED lighting. The fuel tank has been relocated beneath the bed for a cleaner look and better weight distribution. Bronze-finished 20-inch forged American Racing wheels with polished lips are shod with 275/40 front Firestone Firehawk tires and 315/35 Nitto NT555 G2 tires at the rear, providing both style and grip. The suspension has been extensively modified with components from Classic Performance Products, including a crossmember, upper and lower tubular control arms, drop spindles, lowering springs, trailing arms, and Hotchkis sway bars for improved handling.
Interior and Comfort –
The cabin has been refreshed with a TMI Products bench seat and brown vinyl door panels, featuring a saddle insert with grommets for added style. The truck is equipped with Vintage Air climate control for modern comfort, a retro-look digital stereo, and aftermarket speakers for an enhanced audio experience. The driver is treated to a Billet Specialties steering wheel and a Dakota Digital instrument cluster that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and supplementary displays. The odometer reads 4,000 miles, reflecting nearly all miles added under current ownership.
Braking and Safety –
Safety and stopping power are paramount, with the truck featuring Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, slotted and drilled rotors, and a Wilwood master cylinder, booster, and proportioning valve.
