1963 Chevrolet Custom Pickup

The C/K series of pickups replaced the "Task Force" generation of trucks for Chevrolet and as any classic car enthusiast would tell you went on to become highly collectable. In the recent couple of decades the classic truck world exploded and the C10's were an immediate go-to. There are events and clubs are dedicated to this line of truck so they are always a hit at shows. This 1963 was professionally built and has a lot of neat features going for it. You might be scratching your head as to why we are referring to it as a '63. Well the truck is a 1963 but has very tastefully been modified to resemble a 1961 with the custom grill and bumper. The truck is painted in a nice Burgundy paint with the front bumper/grill painted to match. The body has been shaved of all handles but it does wear nice stainless trim down the lengths of both sides. In back it has blue dot tail lights and a custom roll pan with frenched license plate. The truck rides on Weld Racing wheels with wide Mickey Thompson tires in the back that measure 29x15.5x15. With the tubs it could accommodate a larger wheel if you would like.

The truck is currently set up without a hood to show off the built up 357 ci motor that gets those tires turning. The engine runs very strong and was professionally built for a blower. It is fitted with a Howards Roller cam, Eagle forged rotating assembly, Edelbrock 6089 heads, Holley carbs, a polished Blower Shop 671 blower and of course lots of chrome. If blower motors aren't your thing then there is an option to purchase the truck with an approximately 500hp 383ci motor that has all Eagle forged internals, a roller cam, Edelbrock heads, a polished intake, polished pan, and polished valve covers. For the same price you could purchase the truck with that motor installed and get a painted to match 1961 hood. Paired with the motor is a Phoenix TH700R4 transmission that was built with specs to handle the current horsepower. Behind that is a 3.73 rear end with spool and alloy axles. The bed has a carpeted mat and is where you will find the polished fuel cell and the tank for the 4 wheel airbag suspension system. The truck sounds great and always turns heads.

Inside the truck is Red Daytona weave carpeting and a Red leather bench seat. On the floor is a Lokar shifter in a matching Red boot. The doors and dash are painted in a nice gloss Black that looks good. It features the stock style gauges, power window controls and an added Autometer tachometer. There is also an underdash AC unit that works well and blows cold. In front of the driver sits a Deluxe steering wheel with chrome horn ring. A secret audio stereo system has been added with 2 speakers mounted under the seats and a frenched antenna.

This is a nice solid truck that was very well built. If you are ready to draw a crowd at shows, this is the truck to show up in.
