This 1970 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Restomod is exactly the kind of classic truck you would build for yourself if you wanted to drive it all the time and bask in non-stop attention. Finished to an extremely high level with excellent Blue Metallic paint and a gorgeous custom interior, its the kind of Action Line pickup you see dominating car shows and bringing huge bucks at all the televised auctions. With a modern 5.3L LS V8 under the hood, a built 4L60E managing the shifts, and a custom suspension setting the stance, its one of the finest C10s weve ever featured. Bottom line, this is a no-excuses truck. Finished to top driver-quality (if not borderline show-quality) standards, the vibrant Blue Metallic finish (borrowed from Subarus color chart) is the first thing you notice on this dynamic restomod. Its an incredibly attractive, attention-grabbing shade that was expertly applied over laser-straight bodywork, and with high-class livery like this, the stepside looks like its dressed for a night out on the town. Despite countless hours in the restoration shop, the builders kept the exterior changes to a minimum, allowing for the original Glamour Line C10 design to still shine through. The classic shape of the 2nd generation C10 is undeniably attractive, but when its wrapped in a glossy modern paint and punctuated with a few choice upgrades, its downright arresting. Obviously, the lowered stance, HID headlights/LED taillights, and oversized rolling stock are excellent add-ons, but elements like the 68 front grille, modern door handles, and roll-pan rear end are a bit more subtle, yet they still turn the curb appeal up to 11. Painting the grille, headlight surrounds, front bumper, mirrors, door handles, emblems, and trim in a contrasting Tungsten Grey was a perfect choice for the squared-off look of the Action Line pickup, and even though the restoration is a few years old, its almost as clean as it was the day it was completed. We poured over the truck and only found minor imperfections, so whether you want to show-or-go, its equally capable. It still has a practical bed, although it too was finished to a high standard with gray indoor/outdoor carpeting that covers up access to the air-ride suspension and houses the relocated gas tank and gel-cell battery. Capped bed rails, a slick tailgate, and deleted rear bumper replaced with a roll pan set-up all provide a custom look that works better on a C10 than pretty much anywhere else, and the black tonneau cover over is a slick addition thats also very practical. The upscale theme continues inside where everything was redone by the pros at Catos Customs Upholstery and it all still smells new. A sculpted, custom bench seat wrapped in neatly tailored gray plaid cloth and black leather upholstery anchors the interior, flanked by gorgeous matching door panels, while plush black carpets on the floors and a bespoke gray plaid headliner up above add a touch of sophistication inside. All the exposed steel was painted Blue Metallic to match the exterior, including the dash that features a new black pad, digital gauges set inside carbon fiber inlays, and a super-cool billet steering wheel thats surrounded by a carbon-fiber style rim and was mounted on a tilt column. And it even features paddle shifters, which is the first time weve ever seen that modern feature implemented in a vintage truck. How cool is that? Options include cold Vintage Air A/C, LED ambient lighting, power windows, shoulder seatbelts, and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX that manages the aftermarket speakers in the kick panels. Theres a whole lot of expensive hardware behind the surface too, with MSD Atomic engine and transmission controllers mounted in the glovebox, a programmer for the air-bag suspension thats
