The Chrome Tempest: A 1968 C10 That Shatters Expectations

1968 Chevrolet C10 Custom Pickup

Some builds just feel different, and the 1968 Chevrolet C10 Custom Pickup proves it the second you hear that engine growl. You’re not just looking at a vintage pickup. You’re looking at a Pro Touring machine that blends brute strength with thoughtful craftsmanship.

Big-Block Power That Moves Mountains

This C10 packs a freshly built 454ci big-block V-8 engine generating 500 HP and 500 lb-ft of torque. It’s fed by a Holley carburetor and supported by aluminum heads and a roller thumper camshaft. With ceramic-coated long tube headers and a dual fan aluminum radiator, heat management stays tight, even when the pedal goes down. Power runs through a built Turbo 400 automatic transmission and hits the rear via a solid 12-bolt.

Designed to Grip, Steer, and Stop With Authority

Forget compromise. This truck sits on a CPP 4-wheel disc brake system with color-matched calipers and a Hotchkis Sport Suspension featuring oversized sway bars. The 5-lug conversion and staggered 22-inch U.S. Mags give it that stance you won’t miss rolling by.

Exterior That Commands the Road

The Blue Metallic paint doesn’t just shine, it stuns. With a relocated fuel tank and a hideaway tow hitch tucked behind the plate, the design stays clean. A shaved firewall in the engine bay keeps things tidy and refined under the hood.

Inside the Cabin: Vintage Meets High-Tech

Open the door and you’re greeted by two-tone Gray leather seats with custom stitching on the dash pad and visors. There’s a polished tilt steering column, center console, and even custom kick panels. Alpine’s head unit adds Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay, powered by Memphis Audio speakers, dual 10-inch subs, and a Hifonics amplifier.

Cool Air and Smart Comfort

Yes, Vintage Air makes the cabin even cooler, literally. Whether you’re cruising summer roads or sneaking out early morning, the air keeps things steady. From the snug pulley system to the streamlined controls, it’s all functional finesse.
