This 1968 Chevrolet C10 pickup is said to have undergone over $100k in customizations and upgrades including a 6-lug hub conversion, four-wheel disc brakes, full air ride suspension, widened fenders, and a turbocharged LS1 V8 engine paired with a 4-speed 4L60E automatic gearbox. This one-of-a-kind C10 pickup is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Massachusetts.
Finished in black, this C10 has been fitted with new body panels and sheet metal including 3” widened fenders and side steps. Other modifications include VanNatta fabrication inner fenders, Porterbuilt hood hinges with gas shocks, a wood bed liner, a bed-mounted fuel filler, and Cadillac-sourced taillights. The truck rides on custom two-piece 19” chrome wheels. The seller states the front tires are new and the rear tires have approximately 90% tread remaining. The exterior is said to be in excellent overall condition apart from a small paint blemish on the driver’s door. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been redone and features a pair of bucket seats with pass-through safety belts, red stitching, and quilted centers. Accessories include a center console armrest, a four-spoke steering wheel, a later model instrument cluster, a digital air suspension controller, and auxiliary gauges mounted in the center of the dashboard.
Power comes from a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 engine with a custom turbocharger setup. The rear wheels are driven through a 4-speed 4L60E automatic transmission. The truck has been modified with four-wheel disc brakes, a 6-lug rear hub conversion, and an electronically controlled air ride suspension.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Over 100k was put into this truck, with all new sheet metal and body parts, 2-piece intro wheels with mini tub, LS1 with turbo freshly serviced, full air ride system, the truck drives amazing.”

@X98boardwell ty hope someone can see the beauty in this truck
Thank you for posting the pictures, definitely helps to bid with confidence. Hopefully, someone will pull the trigger on the BUY NOW price.
hey folks we are coming down to the final stretch, we are here to answer any questions you may have.
@hudd07 thanks for the question, to the best of my knowledge there are no leaks or lines damaged. the truck runs strong easily cruises at 90 mph straight and smooth on the highways. As for the black seems like it could be either from exhaust or possibly dirty , not sure the proper answer but let me see if i can get the explanation for you.
That’s the money shot!! Turbo LS and didn’t show it off. I’m guessing the oil in pic 91 and 93 is from turbo exhaust gas port? Hard to tell what that is but appears exhaust from turbo. Is that normal or return line kinked/blocked?
@hudd07 my apologies pics are up
@X98boardwell pics are up
ty @pcarmarket_moderator for the quick response and post. Exceptional service to assure buyers and sellers are able to get the info they need ASAP
Photos of the underside and engine have been added to the listing gallery.
@X98boardwell i will try and get on a lift in the next hour if i can and also get you more detailed engine bay pics
@hudd07 this car sold for $80k two years ago at barrett and we know the person who bought it from original owner. my lift is down or i can get pics for you. there is walk around videos with engine on and there also is
engine bay pics let me know what i can provide and i will do so
Really surprised this is a dealer listing with the lack of engine and underside photos. How do you know they spent $100k? Is that just a guess?
@pinnacleimports1
Am I correct and only seeing one terrible picture of the engine bay and no underbody photos, no suspension pictures, etc... Considering what is under the hood and how low the car sits, these pictures would be very important to assess the overall build of the truck especially since you don't have any documentation.
@dotr not understanding your question, just cause you don’t have receipts doesn’t mean you didn’t spend 100k.
Was the body placed upon an updated frame with better suspension geometry as part of the build? How do you get to the $100k without receipts?
Thanks @rockwall205 for your bid much luck to you, this is a very fun truck to drive! Lots of money put into it, it will not disappoint!
Bid in the amount of $40,000
@Rockwall205 thank you for the comment, we acquired the truck as is so we are limited in some of the information. I do know the build is a couple years old
Where was the engine/transmission sourced from how many miles at installation? When was the build completed? Thanks
Bid in the amount of $1,968
