Submerged: Chevrolet C10 Compadre Pickup with Airride!

This clean 1967 Chevrolet C10 as Restomod has a mighty LS-V8 under the hood and an airride air suspension with Slam SS7 airbags. It is Dave Castle's vehicle and known in the media as the “Compadre”. A former vehicle of the SEMA Auto Show 2017. Built by the professionals from Tre 5 Customs in Arizona who paid particular attention to an ultra-clean aesthetic from front to back. The body has a two-tone paintwork in white and copper and there were copper-colored 22 inch forged wheels with a powerful, polished deep bed. In combination with the high-gloss polished aprons at the front and back and a copper-colored emblem in the radiator grille, the tasteful silhouette is impressively rounded off. By the way, behind the mentioned aluminum there is a Baer brake system with polished saddles and perforated and slotted brake discs.

And under the hood there is a 5,7-liter V8 LS1 engine with a special cylinder head, sports exhaust system including side pipes and individual chip tuning. The result is 350 HP “on the bike” which should roughly correspond to an engine output of 400 HP. The engine is coupled to a 4L60 gearbox and even in the engine compartment everything is super clean and coated with lots of chrome and paint. Even the underbody of the Choppin block chassis is embellished with copper-colored chassis components and drive components, which of course also applies to the cabin. The interior is the icing on the cake of the pickup and impresses with custom-made leather and tweed upholstery that matches the remaining colors and design elements such as the aluminum cup holders. An eye-catcher inside is the steering wheel, which is similar to the 22-inch rims. (Images: hotrod.com)
