Details: Confidence is cooland#44; and patina shows a self-assurance that is red-hot right now. But joining this crowd doesnt have to mean giving up creature comforts. In factand#44; a second glance at this 1972 GMC C10 reveals a full custom thats so freshand#44; theres less than 900 miles on the build. And beyond the tough appearance hides a ton of exciting modern conveniencesand#44; including an amazing A/C interiorand#44; updated chassisand#44; air adjustable air ride suspensionand#44; and a 400+ hp LS fuel-injected V8.


This body is all about being secretly rewarding. It might look like it spent a lifetime being a workhorseand#44; but what youre really looking at is super-straight new and restored sheetmetal. The green paint was purposely and professionally worn into a patina. You start to understand this trucks true nature when you look at the immaculate brightwork in the grille and bumpersand#44; as well as the clear headlights and taillights. And there are some even more noticeable upgrades like the 20-inch US Mag wheels that become especially obvious when the air bag suspension is lowered to where these alloys can tuck into this custom build. Plusand#44; there are a whole lot more subtle additions – from the dual gate truck bed to the Kendig-it Design custom flush door handles. You soon start to realize how thoughtful and complete this build really isand#44; and thats before we show you the $105K in build receipts!


The moment you open the doorand#44; the line is immediately blurred between pickup truck and exotic luxury car. The quilted pattern on the supple leather seats will remind you of the best European craftsmen. So we know youll be spending plenty of time running your hands along the matching door panels. This custom seating was created to be reminiscent of the factory benchand#44; but the individualized comfort and flush mounted seat built cup holder console instantly let you know how special this really is. The tan carpeting features piping that matches the upholsteryand#44; and this is repeated on the headliner for a total uniform package. In the center of the dash are controls for the ice-cold air conditioningand#44; and a Pioneer infotainment system that features AM/FM/XM receptionand#44; satellite navigationand#44; iPod connectionand#44; and Bluetooth capability. But the best luxuries are reserved exclusively for the driver. You grab the three-spike wood and chrome steering wheeland#44; and beyond that is a complete set of Dakota Digital gauges. And while were sure youre a responsible luxury driverand#44; we know you wont be able to resist having fun with the freight train-like air horn.


Under the hood is the real treatand#44; because within the ultra-smooth fender walls lies a fuel-injected LS1 V8. The 5.7-liter has been rebuilt and enhanced with features such as an MSD Atomic EFI systemand#44; Texas Speed camshaftand#44; and Sanderson headers. The total package is built to produce Corvette Z06-style performanceand#44; and around 400+ horsepower. Soand#44; you know the moment you turn the key on this custom builtand#44; the roar of the dual exhaust will tell everyone its no barn find. To handle all this powerand#44; a 4L60E four-speed transmission was added that was specially rebuilt for a great everyday balance – including a shift kit for performance driving and overdrive for easy cruising. A pickup like this can bring some big power to the streetsand#44; and thats why the independent front suspension has been upgraded to tubular arms. Alsoand#44; the rear has the comfortable trailing arms that make these GMCs so desirable. And yesand#44; they are all full adjustable as part of the air ride systemand#44; so you can park this at you favorite car show and drop it all the way to the ground so it lays body. Completing this driver-friendly feeling is a full Wilwood drilled and slotted four-wheel disc brake packageand#44; power steeringand#44; and the grip of Pirelli P-Zero
