1982 Chevy C10 Pro-Street

 

This 1982 Chevrolet C10 step-side is the full package. If you want to be noticed, then this sport-
truck is for you. It’s impressive from any angle, the paint job is a work of art. The cargo bed is
classy with its hard wood on the floor, but it is all business with a fuel cell, battery boxes, and
tubbed wheel wells. The body was customized with shaved door handles, billet grille, smooth roll
pans front and rear. Early 1990’s Corvette-style tail lights were mounted in the rear pan. The C10
was built in the early nineties but it still shows very well.

The interior is plush for an 82' C10, the door panels, dash, carpeting and seat are covered in gray
fabric and match well. Billet aluminum trim covers the dash, while an upgraded billet Boyd's
steering wheel points direction on a tilt column.

Under the hood is like a jewelry box showcasing a precious gem. Powering this flashy step-side is
a GM Performance 502 cubic inch big-block. The 502 consumes mass quantities of fuel through a
800 C.F.M. Proform carburetor. The fumes exit through HTC coated Hooker long tube headers and
the exhaust rumbles through Flowmaster mufflers exiting in front of the big rear tires. Backing up
approximately 500 H.P. is GM's heavy-duty TH400 three-speed transmission that was built with a
high stall converter and a manual valve body.

The chassis was fully boxed to keep it from twisting, power steering and front disc brakes give it a modern feel. The 9-inch Ford rear end was narrowed and mounted with a four-link suspension and sprung with adjustable coil-overs. Super-wide Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires provide the
much needed traction.
