1972 Chevy C10 Engine
The engine that is lurking under the slick one-piece cover is a mild 350 fitted with a lumpy cam from Edelbrock. While not a ground-thumper, the engine is powerful enough to roast the tires without overshadowing the body mods.
Body Mods:
Custom-made front inner fenders / shaved firewall, front turn signals, marker lights, side trim, door handles, mirrors, emblems, wipers, drip rails, tailgate, gas filler neck, antenna, stake pockets, and bumpers / 2-1/2-inch chop top with 2-inch forward lean at the pillars / 1-inch section removed from crown of roof / hood sectioned 1 1/2 inches / three-piece grille shell welded together and re-chromed / Trenz phantom billet grille / custom-made front rollpan / hood and wiper cowl welded together / forward tilt hood / bed shortened to five feet / smooth steel floor / hinged notch cover / Grant Kustoms tailgate and rollpan skin combo leaned forward 2 inches / rear wheel openings leaned forward to match fronts / taillights cut to fullsize and custom lenses made / rounded door and hood corners / custom one-piece door glass conversion / custom steel dash
