Anyone who overlooks this pickup can no longer be helped. This clean custom 1971 Chevrolet C10 pickup is a completely restored and completely rebuilt classic car, which is a real restomod project due to countless current components. Of course, such a radical and eye-catching conversion was also allowed to provoke one or the other criticism from the hardcore C10 fans, but we like the vehicle very much and you definitely stay in conversation. And under the eye-catching paint dress in Candy Lime Mist Pearl Green from the "House of Kolor" with the black driver's cab, there are countless changes that only become really apparent at second glance.

We too were initially blinded by the color and it is really difficult to notice the changes immediately. But there is more than enough of it. Therefore only the most important ones. The C10 was restored from the ground up and completely rebuilt with a black powder-coated frame and everything that seemed unnecessary on the body was immediately removed. We would like to mention the trim strips, the door handles, the fuel filler cap and in particular the openings on the right and left of the tailgate as well as all other details on this component. Everything is gone and thus the extremely clean appearance is guaranteed. The tailgate is now fully integrated into the body and firmly closed, which also applies to the front apron. Here, too, everything flows seamlessly into the body.
LS1-V8 with 5,7 liter displacement
One thing is certain: this vehicle certainly does not want to work anymore and it would also be almost irresponsible to put a few shoes on this loading area. And the built-in technology is also of the finest quality. Under the hood is a dreamlike LS1-V8 with a 5,7-liter displacement and a significant increase in performance, which was coupled to a 4L60E automatic transmission. For the chassis, the decision was made to use an Airride air suspension and the huge wheel set in the wide fenders was actually installed in the 24-inch format. These are rims from the manufacturer American Racing Wheels. And the cabin has also been planned.
Suede interior with colored stitching
Here they tried to keep everything spartan, but also to be of high quality and to bring new components into play. The noble suede interior with color-coordinated seams, the high-end sound system, the classic steering wheel or the noble aluminum pedals are worth mentioning. Just have a look at the pictures in the gallery at the bottom and see for yourself. If we receive timely information about further changes to the C10, there is of course an update for this report.
