1970 Chevrolet C10 4X4

Description

This 1970 Chevy 4x4 pickup looks like it's ready to go anywhere and tackle anything, but it's so pretty and beautifully finished that you may actually have second thoughts about taking it out in the mud. Oh, who am I kidding? This truck was BUILT to play in the dirt!

Ultra-clean C10 pickups are none too easy to find these days, but finding one that has been as well-built as this one, enhancing both performance and reliability is tougher yet. Finished in luscious Hugger Orange, this is a massive machine that will never be able to slip under the radar and will always be the center of attention anywhere it goes. There's no reason to modify the bodywork, either, since these are some of the best-looking commercial vehicles to ever come out of the GM styling studios. Square-jawed and muscular, it's like Superman rendered in sheetmetal, especially with that cowl-induction hood. There's no sign of abuse or botched bodywork anywhere on the truck and while it was repainted a few years ago, it still looks quite good. With good gloss and panel alignment, it's obvious that someone invested a lot of time in making it look right. The chrome and stainless is equally nice, keeping with the stock look and letting the big tires and tall suspension do all the talking.

The interior is an upgraded stock driver's environment, which is in excellent condition. The original bench remains in place, now wrapped in black vinyl and cloth that looks elegant and wears like iron. Instead of the original rubber mats, there's plush carpet on the floor, which helps with both noise and heat control and yes, the aftermarket A/C is fully functional thanks to modern components working behind the scenes. The door panels, dash pad, and even the seat itself are new and an Auto Meter tach and auxiliary gauges keep an eye on the mechanicals, which is critical when you're as far out in the middle of nowhere as this truck can carry you. A Sony AM/FM stereo system has been fitted with speakers in the doors, so you can bring the entertainment with you.

A sturdy 350 cubic inch V8 was built expressly to power this heavy-duty 4x4, and features all the upgrades you'd expect from a powerplant built to play hard. A big Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and matching intake manifold supply the air and fuel, while long-tube headers dump into a throaty dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. The engine has been painted bright Chevy Orange to match the bodywork, and wears a smattering of chrome dress-up, including the valve covers and air cleaner. Power steering and brakes make it a pleasure to wheel around despite its size, and are critical for off-road work. The body has a two-inch lift to compliment the four-inch lift on the suspension, giving it a towering presence on- and off-road, but a surprisingly compliant ride. The automatic transmission feeds both a 12-bolt rear and 10-bolt front differential which are plenty rugged enough for off-road work. The look is finished with handsome Convo-Pro aluminum wheels with giant off-road radials.

This is an extremely handsome truck with go-anywhere abilities that's ready to get dirty. Call today!
