For Sale at Auction: 1968 Chevrolet C10 in Houston, Texas for sale in Houston, TX
Vehicle Description A 3.
5-year build, this 1968 Chevrolet C10 custom pickup includes all the luxuries like a tilt column and a recognizable steering wheel from a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a fully restored gauge cluster from a 1957 Chevrolet pickup hand-fit into a custom dashboard built by Dakota Muscle Cars.
A Vintage Air system is integrated into the dash with a hand-built center console with RideTech air ride controls for the suspension and a Lokar shifter.
A Premier stereo system adds to the list of high-quality options in this truck.
This custom frame-off build is by Kevin Archer, who started by changing the original dash, then shaved the cab's drip rails and filled the seam at the backside top of the cab.
Next the front and rear glass were flush-fit and the doors were converted to one-piece power windows, the bedside stake pockets were filled and the floor was smoothed to a glass finish.
Next the gas tank and filler were removed from behind the cab seat and relocated with an aluminum fuel cell mounted under the bed with the fuel-filler door installed in the rear bed.
The Chevrolet lettering was removed from the tailgate face and the tailgate latch handle was moved from the exterior to the interior of the tailgate.
The body was shaved of all OEM trim and emblems.
It has a hand-fabricated finish for a smooth firewall, with fabricated pans to fill the space between the grille and the radiator support and a filler panel to eliminate the space between the rear bumper and the body.
Customization was topped off by flush-fitting custom taillight lenses and bezels and smoothing the bumpers.
Special custom touches include grafted fender vents from a BMW M5 into the Chevrolet front fenders and fabricated body trim from brass stock that was hand-formed and chrome plated.
The truck is painted in a PPG basecoat/clearcoat of Desert Sand Mica.
This C10 has an upgraded, custom-built frame with Classic Performance Products dropped spindles with a RideTech air ride system.
Custom C-notch with 4-link adjustable rear sway bars mounted to the powder-coated frame.
Features a Chevrolet 12-bolt rear end, a 6.
0-liter LS2 engine from Southern Performance Systems, a Nordstrom plug-and-play wiring harness, Nordstrom tweak to the ECM for better performance and a new 4L65-E transmission.
