1971 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Jackson, TN

This C10 combines classic Chevrolet styling with a fully modern performance foundation. Built on a Schwanke Engines Running Rolling Chassis, the truck features a 525 HP LS3 with forged rods, pistons, and a .600 lift camshaft, paired to a 6L80E transmission and 3,000 street stall torque converter for smooth, reliable power delivery.

The suspension is equipped with dual-adjustable coilovers front and rear, tubular front control arms with drop spindles, and a rear tubular truck arm setup tied into a Ford 9-inch posi rear end with 3.50 gears. Together, the chassis and drivetrain provide a controlled ride and confident handling.

The truck is built with all new cab, box, and body metal, finished in a clean atlas yellow and pearl white two-tone. Subtle details like the stance, wheels, and overall fitment highlight the restomod nature without losing the original C10 character.
