This feature follows a two-year-long 1967 Chevy C10 build, inching toward completion while its owner watched his girlfriend’s 1941 Willys pickup rack up show trophies. The C10’s blend of clean 1967-72 styling and modern LS-engine power has made it one of the most popular restomod platforms on the market. The question of just how powerful this particular truck turned out to be remains part of its appeal.
A 1967 Chevy C10 wasn’t built to be fast – Chevrolet’s second-generation Action Line trucks topped out around 325 horsepower from the factory. That hasn’t stopped builders from transforming these honest work trucks into genuine muscle car rivals, some packing twin-turbo LS power well past 1,000 horsepower under bodywork nobody would suspect. Here’s how a humble half-ton became one of the truck world’s favorite muscle car disguises.
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 arrived during Chevy’s best-ever year for truck sales, when demand for a well-built, good-looking pickup was at an all-time high. Under its Cheyenne trim and fresh egg-crate grille sits a truck built with front disc brakes and coil-spring independent front suspension — real upgrades for the era. Finding one this original, more than five decades later, is increasingly rare.
Dive into the restoration journey of a 1968 Mustang 289 2 bbl A code, originally a Meadowlark yellow beauty, now revived in a vibrant 1967 Spring Time Yellow.

Who says you can’t have a vintage car with a modern twist?
MadRatt Garage’s air ride saga on his 1964 Chevy C10 hits a stubborn snag in this Part 2: the compressor finally works, but the front bag won’t release air no matter what he tries.

Watch to see whether he finds the culprit, or adds it to next episode’s to-do list.
