This stunning 1965 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Truck is a custom 2wd fleetside shortbed restomod, built from the ground up with a body-off frame restoration. Every detail of this truck has been carefully considered and expertly executed, resulting in a unique street machine that seamlessly blends classic styling with modern performance.

Exterior: The exterior of this C10 is finished in a striking Spitfire Orange metallic paint, which gleams under the sunlight. The sought after big window cab adds to its classic appeal, while the sleek fleetside shortbed configuration gives it a muscular stance. Custom touches like the stainless steel trimmed cedar wood bed add a touch of elegance and warmth, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant paintwork. Hidden tailgate latches and removed chains maintain a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, while the seamless body lines showcase the craftsmanship of the restoration.

Engine and Transmission: Powering this C10 is a potent 283ci V8 engine, equipped with an Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor, aluminum intake, and a flat tappet hydraulic cam, delivering smooth power and a throaty exhaust note. The HEI ignition ensures reliable starts and optimal performance, while headers and dual stainless steel exhausts enhance both power and sound. Paired with a TH350 automatic transmission, shifting is smooth and effortless, providing a driving experience that’s as enjoyable as it is exhilarating.

Chassis and Suspension: Beneath the surface, this C10 boasts a modernized chassis with coil spring suspension front and rear. Tubular upper and lower control arms up front and boxed truck arms in the rear provide enhanced stability and control, allowing for confident handling and precise steering. The 12-bolt rear axle with 3.08 gears delivers excellent acceleration and cruising capability, while power steering and power front disc brakes ensure effortless maneuverability and stopping power.

Interior: Inside the cabin, modern comfort meets vintage charm. The Impala steering wheel mounted on a tilt steering column adds a touch of retro elegance, while the modern replacement radio provides access to your favorite tunes. The plush upholstery and spacious seating invite you to relax and enjoy the ride, while the modern air conditioning keeps you cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.

Wheels and Tires: Completing the look are 18” chrome Ridler wheels wrapped in Nitto Motivo tires, which not only enhance the truck’s aggressive stance but also provide excellent grip and traction on the road.
