Retirement is a time to reinvent yourself and let go to enjoy the person you've always wanted to be. Take this 1968 Chevrolet C10 Stepside, for example. After a lifetime of labor, this truck was privy to a full restoration that included a full repaint in this exquisite Blue Metallic hue that sets it apart from just about anything else on the road today. Meticulously detailed, this Stepside has a beautiful wood grain bed, which is complemented nicely by the" Chevrolet" embossing on the tailgate. Shimmering chrome bumpers and dual-exhaust tailpipes only hint at how clean the undercarriage of this truck is. Inside, we find a later-model Chevy bench seat covered in clean grey cloth and highlighted by a wooden shift knob and wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel. A JVC AM/FM stereo CD player handles tunes while a trick custom set of white-faced gauges, which are wired to glow a cool blue ties together its extravagant exterior and matching dashboard.
Under the hood, we find a tried-and-true 350 cubic inch small block Chevy V-8 which has been topped with an Edelbrock intake and coordinating single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor. A set of long tube Hooker headers tie into a FlowMaster dual exhaust to give this truck a snarl only a SBC can provide. That power is channeled through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent off to a twelve-bolt rear.

This 1968 Chevrolet C10 Stepside rides on a front suspension consisting of coils, shocks, and a sway bar, while a solid axle, coils, and shocks out back. Fifteen-inch wheels ride on 245/60R-15 front and 275/60R-15 rear BF Goodrich rubber. Power brakes hide behind those wheels, with discs up front and drums out back. This truck has taken the form of a fun-loving restomod in its second life; maybe it's about time you take the form of its fun-loving new owner. Call today!
