This 1966 Chevrolet C10 pickup was modified with a custom tubular roll structure, fitted with a 5.3-liter Vortec V8, and refinished in purple over black-upholstered Sparco racing seats under prior ownership. Additional equipment includes a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission, a limited-slip differential, 17″ Black Rhino wheels, 33″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, Wilwood disc brakes, power steering, long-travel Fox coilovers, custom upper suspension mounts, a fuel cell, LED lighting, side-exit exhaust outlets, a Lokar shifter, Summit Racing digital instrumentation, and a Bluetooth sound system. The current owner acquired the truck after it was listed on BaT in September 2023. This modified C10 pickup is now offered in California on dealer consignment with a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
The custom tubular roll structure was fabricated under prior ownership and the truck was refinished in the Porsche shade of Amethyst Metallic by Johnny’s Auto Color & Body Works in Riverside, California, after 2022. Exterior details include a rear-mounted fuel cell, TMI Products billet door handles, a tubular front bumper, a replacement chrome grille, and LED headlights, taillights, and rear-facing auxiliary lights with amber lenses. The exhaust system exits through the quarter panels ahead of the rear wheels.
Black Rhino 17″ alloy wheels wear 33×12.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires installed under current ownership. The truck rides on long-travel Fox coilovers bolted to custom upper suspension mounts, both of which were installed by Rock Bottom Off Road of Lake Elsinore, California, in August 2022. The power-assisted Wilwood four-wheel discs were installed at that time.The brakes were bled and the left outer tie rod was repaired in November 2023.
The cabin features QRT-K carbon-kevlar Sparco racing seats along with a purple and microsuede-upholstered dashboard top and center console. Additional equipment includes Simpson racing harnesses, cupholders, a floor-mounted Lokar shifter, and a Bluetooth receiver wired to a Kicker amplifier, subwoofer, and component speakers. Work under current ownership has included repairing the shifter and replacing the driver’s door seal, window crank, and opener.
The three-spoke Grant steering wheel fronts digital Summit Racing instrumentation consisting of a speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary readouts for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 1,060 miles, approximately 700 of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was reportedly sourced from a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe and installed under prior ownership. Equipment includes an aluminum radiator, tubular headers, and a body-color intake pipe. The oil was changed in November 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a modified three-speed TH400 automatic transmission that was installed in 2022. Additional work completed at that time included fitting a limited-slip differential with 3.73:1 gearing and a polished cover. A front skid plate is installed.
