Chevrolet’s redesigned pickup gets a big V8

If you call yourself ‘Retro Designs’ as a refresher, you’re creating a lot of expectations. They are fully committed to this and this restored Chevrolet C10 pickup. According to the tuner, it is designed ‘for modern driving conditions’. It’s going to be very difficult with that lowering kit and there’s no profile on the tires when you hit a bump, but that’s for later.

The all-black Chevrolet C10 is from 1984. It’s designed to ‘handle gracefully whatever comes your way’. We can assure you that you will feel more comfortable in a restored Chevrolet pickup. Retro Designs replaces the 4.1-liter cylinder with a larger V8 engine. And that is a very difficult obstacle.

Chevrolet’s restored image details

The engine we are talking about is the big LS1 V8 that produces 330 hp. Attached to this is a gearbox that is also on the 2005 Corvette C6 (4L65E, for those in the know). The redesigned Chevrolet pickup also receives a new wiring harness and better brakes. It comes in a ‘powder coat black’ color and the interior has leather upholstery and a thick set of speakers.

The entire process of restoring the C10 took eight months. For such a restored image of Chevrolet you will spend at least $ 180,000. The ‘C10 is one of the most popular pictures ever made. Being able to restore and improve this model with the best technology was a great experience,” says the head of the repair house, Daniel Valjevac.
