This 1970 Chevrolet C-10 has been extensively modified by the seller, featuring a built 5.3-liter Vortec V8 engine paired with a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission. It sports a custom air-ride suspension and a unique PPG Blue Metallic paint job. The truck includes numerous custom details such as a RetroSound/JL stereo system, a Momo steering wheel, and a Hurst short-throw shifter. Additional modifications cover a full Aeromotive fuel system, disc brakes, and a new suspension kit from Porter. Currently, the truck is optimized for up to 400 horsepower, with plans for additional turbocharging capacity. This 1970 Chevrolet C10 Camper Special, sold new in California, has been extensively modified under previous ownership. Power comes from a 5.3-liter Vortec V8, rebuilt with a camshaft and valvetrain from a period Z06 Corvette and paired with a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual gearbox. The truck features a custom air-ride suspension with dual Viair compressors, CPP four-wheel disc brakes, Center Line wheels, and an Aeromotive fuel cell. The exterior, finished in a unique PPG metallic blue, includes shaved markers and a cowl-induction hood. Inside, the truck boasts black leather upholstery, a Hurst shifter, and a custom RetroSound stereo connected to JL Audio speakers. Additional modifications include a bed-mounted fuel cell, fiberglass under-bed toolbox, and exhaust manifolds from a 2015 Camaro SS.
