1966 Chevy C10
This 1966 Chevy C10 has been tastefully modified to create a reliable and fun cruiser as well as a truck you can actually use.
I bought this truck many year ago with the body in its' current state. I have not done anything to the body at all. The lettering and numbers were added by a previous owner. I made the truck functional and fun to drive. It will cruise easily at 75 miles per hour on the interstate all day long. It has the gas tank relocated to the rear of the truck giving you an extra 6 inches of leg room. The cruise control from the 2004 Silverado electronics works and also has a OBD-ii port on the dash to allow you to the motor and transmission. I torn down the entire motor, cleaned everything and replaced the rings. I installed a competition cams high energy cam. It was the middle of the road cam. It gives the truck a really nice idle and makes good power for a 5.3 liter motor. It's an absolute blast to drive and makes people smile everywhere it goes.
