1966 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Patina Air Ride Custom

This 1966 Chevrolet C10 short-bed pickup is a beautifully executed patina custom, combining classic American truck styling with extensive modern upgrades.

Underneath the character-filled patina exterior sits a fully engineered air ride suspension setup, featuring an AccuAir system, custom 4-link rear suspension, chassis C-notch and extensive fabrication to achieve the trucks aggressive stance and impressive suspension travel.

Power comes from a Chevrolet 350 V8 paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, breathing through Hooker headers and an Edelbrock intake and carburettor. The build also features Ridetech tubular control arms, drop spindles, front disc brakes, power steering conversion and upgraded cooling system, making it as capable to drive as it is to look at.

The rear tray highlights the craftsmanship of the build, showcasing the custom chassis work and suspension layout that gives this truck its unmistakable presence.

A substantial folder of invoices documents the extensive engineering and fabrication that has gone into this standout custom C10.
