The Story

After a frame-off rebuild and restoration with performance upgrades, this 4-wheel drive, 4-speed 1972 Chevrolet K10 Pickup rolls on as proof that four is twice as good as two. The Fleetside 4x4 wears a custom-blended shade of red paint topped with new trim, emblems and front and rear chrome bumpers. New tinted and shaded glass all around finishes the return of the second-generation C/K hauler to its original early '70s status as America's most popular pickup.

The 4-wheeler packs a freshly built 5.7L V-8 under the hood. The mighty mouse is equipped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum-coated headers and new dual exhaust with turbo mufflers for maximum power through the 4-speed manual transmission. An upgraded aluminum radiator and factory fan shroud help the engine keep cool in factory style. New shocks and a 6-inch chassis lift kit team up with dual front steering stabilizers for improved clearance and all-terrain control.

Full-width bench seating with black and white houndstooth inserts offers a step up in comfort in the new custom Deluxe interior. Molded and embossed door panels and a restored factory cash convey an original '70s Chevrolet truckin' vibe, while an upgraded in-dash audio unit and a new Vintage Air system take advantage of the latest technology for premium in-cabin entertainment and climate control. The restored and modified half-ton hauler comes with an owner's manual and rolls on a restored set of factory Rally wheels with new trim rings and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires.
