The King

Shop Notes

It kills us to sell our truck but we're moving from an urban area to a ranch at the end of a rutted dirt road...our King deserves better than that...so now is your chance to keep it snappin' heads as you cruise on by.  This was a 6 figure build that is going to be a deal for the lucky buyer. This 1969 Chevrolet C10 pickup was refurbished before being acquired by the current owner in 2024, which included refinishing the exterior in matte black and white and installing a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 linked with a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine is fitted with a high-performance camshaft, a sheet-metal intake manifold, and a high-flow throttle body, and the truck rides on a lowered suspension with revised dampers, front and rear sway bars, and tubular front control arms. Further equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 20″ U.S. Mags wheels, power-assisted Wilwood disc brakes, and short-tube headers. The cab was refreshed with black leather TMI bucket seats, matching door panels, a Lokar shifter, a Retrosound stereo, air conditioning, a billet steering wheel and door levers, and Dakota Digital gauges. This C10 is offered with a clean Virginia title. The exterior was repainted in matte black with a white cab roof during the build, and revised rear wheelhouses were installed before a spray-on bedliner was applied. Replacement trim, lighting, and chrome bumpers were fitted along with a cowl induction hood and dual side mirrors. U.S. Mags Hustler 20″ wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear Delinte Thunder tires. The truck rides on a lowered suspension with tubular front control arms, front and rear sway bars, and high-performance dampers. Braking is provided by power-assisted Wilwood discs at each corner. The cab was fitted with TMI bucket seats trimmed in black leather with red offset stitching, and matching upholstery extends to the door panels and headliner. The center armrest features dual cupholders, and further appointments include Vintage Air climate control, a billet glovebox cover and door handles, a Retrosound stereo, and a Lokar shifter with a skull knob. The billet steering wheel sits on a tilting column and frames a suite of Dakota Digital gauges including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and supplementary readouts. The odometer shows 2,500 miles. Total mileage is unknown. The hood opens on Eddie Motorsports hinges to reveal a tucked engine bay that is finished in black. The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 that was installed in 2023 and is equipped with a high-performance camshaft, a 92mm throttle body, a sheet-metal intake, vintage-look valve covers, and a polished intake pipe with a conical filter. Short-tube headers feed a dual exhaust system that terminates behind the rear axle. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle with a Moser cover and a limited-slip differential. The truck is fitted with a stainless-steel fuel tank, and textured bedliner material was applied to the underbody during the refurbishment.
