Muscle cars get plenty of love in the collector community, but muscle trucks are equally deserving of time in the spotlight. With that in mind, let’s check out a C10 done up with all the right restomod touches. Featured on AutoHunter is a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom Pickup listed by a dealer in St. Louis. The auction will end on Monday, March 9, 2026, at 11:15 a.m. (MST).
One of the handy tools for researching the original build specifications of some GM vehicles is the Service Parts Identification (SPID), which can be found affixed to the inside of the glove compartment door on C/K-series pickup trucks. According to the SPID on this truck, it came optioned from the factory with bodyside moldings, door edge guards, heavy-duty battery, push-button radio, tinted glass, heavy-duty rear springs, wheel covers, and blue cloth upholstery. In the 50-plus years that the truck has been on the road, a few things have changed from its original assembly, as we’ll soon see.
Most notably, the truck was subject to a frame-off restoration and was repainted in its current light blue metallic color. Exterior features include front and rear roll pans, LED lighting, dual side mirrors, bodyside moldings, and 22-inch American Racing forged wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires. The seller notes that the glass has been replaced, and the floor of the long bed has been redone with oak planks. Stance comes from an AirSlamIt air suspension with a handheld controller.
The interior of the cab features a two-tone white and blue vinyl bench seat, body-colored dash, power steering, aftermarket steering wheel, power windows, Bluetooth-enabled retro-look audio system, and factory air conditioning.
Under the hood is a numbers-matching 350ci V-8 mated to a numbers-matching Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 three-speed automatic transmission, plus a 3.71:1 rear differential. Mechanical work was performed within the last 1,000 miles. The odometer currently shows 51,593 miles, although the title reads mileage-exempt.
The C10 has a strong, customizable platform with loads of aftermarket support — as we can already tell from this eye-catching custom. When equipped with a V-8 engine and a lowered, tight-handling suspension, a restomod truck can deliver a muscle car-like driving experience with the added cargo-hauling capacity as a bonus. Best of both worlds! As the selling dealer says, “This C10 is more than restored – it’s reborn.”
