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.
The number 67 runs through Rick Zipperian’s life: his high school graduation year, his age when this truck debuted, and the model year of the Chevy C10 pickups he has always loved. Instead of a numbers-matching muscle car, he built a 1967 C10 with a muscle car’s heart and unveiled it beside his son’s 1967 Chevelle at the Cavalcade of Customs in Cincinnati. Read on to find out why a work truck turned out to be the perfect way to honor a milestone year.
The 1971 Chevrolet C10 arrived during the single best year Chevrolet’s truck division had ever posted, with 739,478 units built and more than 260,000 C10 pickups among them. It brought standard front disc brakes, a new egg-crate grille, and the debut of the Cheyenne trim package. Finding one that survived five decades without being improved along the way is the hard part.
Built entirely by one owner in a home garage and driveway, this 1968 Mustang started as a rust-free 289 two-barrel A-code car and emerged with a period-correct-looking 302 V8 swap, a custom twin front sway bar setup, and Spring Time Yellow paint. The goal was a reliable daily driver capable of real track days, not just cruise nights. Read on to find out what else went into the build.
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. It’s the kind of real-world troubleshooting that separates DIY restoration content from polished shop videos — no guaranteed fix, no script, just a guy working through a problem on a budget. Watch to see whether he finds the culprit, or adds it to next episode’s to-do list.
