From first owner to full performance upgrade, this 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Big 10 LS3 Restomod shows what $77,000 in professional work can create. Painted in Cerulean Blue Firemist, this long bed truck displays a vibrant color that's close to factory but with more intensity. The 15-inch wheels fill out the wheel wells with 33x12.50R15 General tires giving this truck a bold, planted stance. Blue bedliner in the cargo area and newer chrome trim add sharp contrasting accents to the exterior, with a full-size spare in the bed.
Navy blue cloth and vinyl cover the bench seat, creating a classic yet comfortable interior space. The dashboard houses Dakota Digital analog-style gauges for a factory look with modern precision. A billet shifter topped with a Q-ball knob controls the six-speed manual transmission. Additional interior features include RetroSound AM/FM radio with Bluetooth capabilities, a black billet steering wheel on a tilt column, and fully functioning Vintage brand air conditioning. Custom storage solutions include a tray behind the seat and strategically placed speakers in the door panels and cab corners. Fresh black carpet underfoot completes the well-executed cabin.
An LS3 V8 GM Performance Crate engine provides substantial power, equipped with a mild performance cam and 0821 heads. With only 2,980 miles on this powertrain, this truck offers many years of reliable enjoyment. The Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission links to a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.55 gears for excellent acceleration and highway cruising. Four-wheel power disc brakes with Wilwood master cylinder offer superior stopping ability. The suspension system features tubular A-arms with coil springs up front and a solid axle with leaf springs in the rear. Black hydraulic hood hinges, Borgeson gear box, and a Flowmaster dual exhaust system round out the impressive mechanical package.
