1968 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1968 Chevrolet C10 

  Chevrolet trucks have been on the road for more than a century, with the company producing its first pickup way back in 1918. The Bowtie trucks have been good sellers ever since. This C10 is a part of the C/K truck line that began production in 1960 with a series of light-duty and heavy-duty pickups. The C10 was a rear-wheel drive half-ton model with choices of a 6.5-foot bed on a 115-inch wheelbase or an 8-foot bed on an extended 127-inch wheelbase. The C10 featured an increased load capacity for its front axle, as well as a larger cab and bigger windshield, all of which contributed to overall better weight distribution than prior models.

 This 1968 Chevrolet C10 short-bed pickup offered here for sale is far from how it left the assembly line when new having undergone a complete build with many performance and cosmetic improvements. Painted in classic and stunning Cardinal Red with a custom Black interior, this truck is menacing! It sports brand new front and rear chrome bumpers and emblems. When you investigate the bed you see a brand-new wood bed with stainless steel strips. The stunning Black interior has been outfitted with custom seats, Lecarra steering wheel, Autometer gauges, Lokar Shifter and Ididit tilt column.

  The most impressive aspect of this resto-mod C10 is how it performs. Starting with the drivetrain is a 5.7L LS engine with forged pistons, H-beam rods, ported AFR cylinder heads, custom camshaft, LS6 intake, upgraded valve springs, pushrods and much more. This combination packs a heavy punch producing well over 400hp! The engine is backed up by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with an overdrive gear ratio for better highway cruising. Although this powerplant makes plenty of grunt, it is still extremely compliant and drivable under normal cruising conditions. 

  Suspension is such an important part of any Pro-Touring build. This truck has a QA1 setup including tubular upper and lower A-arms, drop spindles, new shocks, coil springs and Panhard bar. Braking duties are handled by Corvette 13" front rotors with 4-piston calipers and 11" in the rear with 4-piston calipers. Completing the handling package are 20inch US Mags wheels with Nitto Tires.

  This beautiful built 1968 Chevrolet C10 Resto-Mod is the perfect summer cruiser!
