You are looking at a 1979 Custom Hot Rod Chevy C-10 Truck. No Smog needed ever because it is registered as a diesel.
Engine: Turns on with one turn. You must warm it up for a few minutes and enjoy the power of a big block 472 Engine. This 472 Engine delivers 375 horsepower at 4400 rpm and a massive 525 lbf·ft torque at just 3000 rpm. To compliment the 472 Engine a 700 marine double holley carb was installed with a dual master flow. To push this massive engine, the TH400 automatic shift, three-speed transmission was installed.
It is widely regarded to be a supremely durable and legendary transmission. The TH400 is conservatively rated at 450 ft. lbs. of input torque. Get ready because one can feel the ground rumble and can hear the thunder sound of the engine blocks away. This bad boy sits on 15’ chrome wheels with Daytona mark racing tires. I forgot to mention…front disc brakes of course
The Body: If you don’t like attention then this is not the truck for you. You will get constants Thumbs Up because of its bright Orange 3 stage paint color and has 3m vinyl black strip with the Engine 472 number indicated on each side of the truck.
It also has a black fiberglass hood scoop to give it that mean edgy look. A flat black bumper and flat black front grill gives it a more aggressive look. In addition, there are two metal black roller cage pipes and a slick black sport tail.
Interior: The interior is very clean…All Black of course….no rips on the headliner, visor, or chairs. Yes, they are racing style chairs. There is a Kenwood amp with 500 watts JBL speakers. The dash does have some cracks but can easily be replaced. I preferred to put a carpet on it instead.
Electrical: No need to roll up and down windows because they are electrical and work faultlessly. The interior light even works. The signal works and sometimes needs assistance to bring it back after a turn. The brake lights, reverse lights and window wiper works as well.
Overall, this Truck is a solid driver and a head turner. It rides smooth and is super fast. Remember this is a daily car and is not in a museum conditions. There is some wear and tear.
