1967 Chevrolet C10
After sitting in a field for 20 years, this truck was brought back to life with extensive work and custom upgrades. We performed a longbed-to-shortbed conversion and tackled minor rust repair while shaving the firewall for a sleek look. The braking system was overhauled with a full Wilwood disc brake and master cylinder conversion, stainless steel brake lines, and Wilwood drop spindles. A custom 5/7 drop kit was installed to enhance the stance. The engine and transmission were removed, with all new gaskets, and a new Griffin radiator.
On the interior, we added a Lokar 16” shifter, shortened the steering column, and restored the original wiring for the lighting system. Boom mat insulation and a new carpet kit were added for comfort and noise reduction, while the interior parts were repainted and detailed for a refreshed look and an RPM gauge cluster installed.
The exterior saw updates as well, with new lights and lenses, touched-up patina paint in damaged areas, new CST mirrors, and a custom exhaust with bedside cutouts. The truck now sits on U.S. Mags ‘Santa Cruz’ rims with brand new Nitro tires, and a 6-to-5 lug conversion was completed to support the upgrade.
All of this was accomplished in just three weeks so the truck could make it to a local car show, showcasing a blend of restoration and customization.
