classic vintage chrome short bed truck wooden bed restored Wilwood

1969 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside Restomod Description

The bold red makes you take immediate note of this 1969 Chevrolet C10 stepside restomod. And everything from the fuel-injected stroker V8 to the extra glossy wood in the truck bed tells you this is a quality build. So you know this is the kind of pickup that you want to take a while to look at the details... but don't linger too long, because you know this is the kind of custom classic truck that everybody wants.
The first thing you notice about this truck is the paint. Chevrolet is known for performance machines in bright red, and so this restomod pickup gives off an instant attraction. And if you get closer, you'll find the paint has the kind of gloss that can only come from a modern clearcoat. This was all part of the frame-off restoration completed in 2017. Plus, the 17-inch REV wheels not only look fantastic, but also allow for some much more modern rubber. There are well-integrated modern custom details, like the crystal clear headlights, chrome front bumper w/integrated fog lights, and even the glossy Brazilian Cherry wood of the truck bed has been updated for an attractive tight grouping. It all makes for subtle upgrades that give an added gravity to the desirable classic stepside look.
The exterior red returns inside on the doors and dash. But the best place we love the red is on the stitching for the custom bench seat done in a supple leather. The door panels have also been done to match for both a comfortable and premium setup. You even have nice extras like LED lighting and Dynamat sound insulation. This is built with the driver in mind. That's why you have the NK4 sports steering wheel and a full set of gauges w/upgraded tach in the middle. Plus, that Go-EFI readout mounted in the center of the dash is your gateway to something special under the hood.
The engine bay is done for both show and go. Those super-slick red inner fenders funnel all your attention to the tidy and powerful heart in the middle. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. It has been fortified for power with Speed Pro pistons, a Howards camshaft, Eagle crank, hydraulic valves, forged rods, APR bolts, CNC heads, an aluminum intake, and Hooker headers. It's topped with a FiTech fuel injection system for added power and consistency. It's an awesome build with a full package said to make a big 425 horsepower. It fires up eagerly like a proper FI machine should, and the dual exhaust's growl lets everyone know you have a power pickup. The B&M TH350 three-speed automatic is ready to handle the power, and it feeds a 12-bolt Eaton Positraction rear end. The fresh suspension components give you confidence on the road. Plus, this has good driving features like power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern/grippy Nitto 420S tires.
This truck has a cool look, cool stance, cool interior, and red-hot power. It all makes for a terrific custom you know you need to get in your garage. Call now!
