LS fuel injected 6.0L swap 6 speed manual slick paint C-10 pickup Chevy
1971 Chevrolet C-10 Cheyenne Restomod Description
Take some time to check out all the custom details of this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne. But don't linger too long, because with the slick black paint, a bold red interior, six-speed stick shift, and an awesome 6.0-liter fuel-injected V8 under the hood, this restomod will not be staying in our showroom very long.
This truck's exterior appearance doesn't stray too far from stock, and yet, it has a presence that will have people gravitating towards it. The fresh black paint has the ideal sleekness to give you the look of a dark mirror. So the sunlight loves to highlight all the crisp angles of the restored body. This includes the well-defined hood, fender flares, and the sporty way the sides taper upward to give the bed a crisp definition. All the body's glossy black makes a terrific background for the brightwork, including the mirror-like chrome bumpers, grille surround, mirrors, trim, and beauty rings around the Rally wheels. So this truck looks nearly showroom fresh from nearly half a century ago, which makes this time capsule a real sleeper.
There's just something extra attractive of a bold red interior against the black exterior. Plus, it has been refreshed to give you a period-correct premium feeling. That's why you get the western-style pattern on the door panels and seat that made these C10s famous. There's even wood-like paneling on the door panels for the correct classic vibe. But they also put their investments to the right subtle upgrades. The air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a. The billet steering wheel follows the truck's red and black theme, and it's mounted on an Ididit tilt steering column. And have you counted the gears on the shifter yet?
Once you lift the hood, any notion that this is a stock truck immediately go away. After all, there's no way of hiding modern fuel-injected power. This 6.0-liter L96 V8 was the choice for more modern HD trucks, and so it's both stout and powerful, and that's even before the upgrades. This has been enhanced with a cold air intake, Holley electronic fuel injection, upgraded cam, upgraded valvetrain, and Doug Thorley headers feeding a sweet-sounding Magnaflow dual exhaust. You have complete control over this powerful package thanks to the Tremec six-speed manual transmission. And with only about 5,000 miles on the powertrain, it fires up eagerly, shifts smooth, and runs extra strong. A truck like this was built for all-around enjoyment. That's why you have features like upgraded front sway bar, the C10's desirable trailering arm rear suspension, and a Griffin aluminum radiator w/electric fans to help keep this running cool even when you're in traffic. Add in power steering and power brakes w/discs up front, and you can easily understand how this one earned its Power Tour sticker in the rear window.
You'll love showing and driving this restomod from the moment you leave our showroom. So don't let this upgraded C10 go into someone else's garage. Call today!!!
