Lot #1008 - This 1968 Chevrolet C10 custom fleetside short-bed pickup is a complete show-quality custom truck built by Gortsema Fabrication, a Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame inductee and chosen as the builder of the year in 2019. The expertly worked body is finished with a two-tone Majestic Mint/white two-stage base/clear coat. The stock frame is equipped with a large HD front sway bar, 2-inch drop spindles, and upgraded power front disc brakes clamping on drilled and slotted rotors. This C10 pickup is powered by a modern electronically fuel-injected 5.3-liter LS 325hp V8 engine mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The engine bay has a custom engine cover, fan shroud and inner fender panels. There's also a custom rear-mounted 17-gallon fuel tank, aluminum radiator, 2.5-inch dual exhaust system and power steering. Putting the power to the ground is an updated Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.43 gears and adjustable Panhard bar. The custom TMI interior features adjustable bucket seats, a dash cover, all stock gauges with an in-dash tachometer, tilt column with sport steering wheel, center console with cup holders and a Vintage Air system. Other features include shoulder harness seat belts, AM/FM digital radio with stock-looking faceplate and four speakers. The bed is trimmed in custom oak wood, stained black with clear coat. The dropped suspension provides an aggressive stance for this C10, which is riding on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza high-performance tires (245-45 R17 front and 275-45 R18 rear).
