The world of pickup trucks in the USA has evolved significantly in 2023. We think this one is particularly cool Chevrolet C10 from 1976, which became a real eye-catcher, known as the project “U“. The classic combines a typical nostalgic design with modern technology and stands out from today's huge pickup trucks. The “Urban Cowboy” was created by the specialists at Roadster Shop and is the fourth vehicle in the 'Legend Series'. The C10 has been completely revised and reissued as a turnkey package. Of course, this is particularly noticeable new bodywork and the shimmering, two-tone paint. And the interior even features a state-of-the-art design Avant Garde.

This combination makes the “Urban Cowboy” a real pleasure, most likely even at speeds of 90 miles per hour (approx. 145 km/h). Roadster Shop be targeted. And of course, as with each of the tuner's projects, the chassis was completely renewed and is now part of the Legend Series program. The conversion combines the typical classic charm with the latest technology and makes the Chevrolet C10 pickup a particularly unique vehicle.
