Description
Lot #1266 - This 1966 Chevrolet C10 custom pickup underwent a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed in late 2020. This original short-bed pickup is from the Fremont, CA, plant. It is powered by an LS V8 engine with retro valve covers mated to a 4L70E automatic transmission. The engine features Doug Thorley headers, and the truck also has a 3-inch exhaust, a 10-bolt Truetrac posi-traction rear end and a Mattson's aluminum radiator. It is upgraded with an American Autowire harness and rides on tubular upper control arms, and also features power brakes (with upgraded front disc), power steering and air-ride suspension with two compressors. The aluminum gas tank has been moved to under the bed. Finished in custom PPG two-tone paint, this pickup's exterior features a custom hickory bed with a filler cap. All the glass was replaced and completed with new rubber, and all the chrome and aluminum trim was either restored or replaced. Stainless-steel hardware was used throughout the truck. The custom leather interior was completed by Deluxe Interiors in California and features a custom Bluetooth sound system that was done at Custom Dimensions in El Monte, CA, with all Alpine components. With a cab covered in Dynamat, this truck features a Dakota Digital dash, Old Air Products air conditioning and a wood-trimmed Lecarra steering wheel. This pickup rolls on 20-inch Detroit wheels wrapped in whitewall Toyo tires. The vehicle was featured in Classic Truck Performance magazine. This comprehensive restoration was completed by Chimera Motorsports in Huntington Beach, CA. 2,401 miles (mileage not indicated on the title).
