Resto-Mod, 5.7L LS EFI V8, 6-Speed Manual, Vintage A/C, Power Steering & Brakes

This 1985 Chevrolet C10 Resto-Mod blends the timeless appeal of the classic square body pickup with the performance and technology of a modern muscle machine. With its aggressive stance, updated drivetrain, and subtle custom touches, this C10 is built for enthusiasts who want vintage style paired with contemporary performance.

Powering this truck is a 5.7L LS V8 with a Vortec intake and a Big Mouth LT Fast throttle body, delivering the kind of strong, reliable power that modern LS engines are known for. Mated to a 6-speed T56 manual transmission and operated with a hydraulic clutch, this C10 offers an engaging and exhilarating driving experience rarely found in vintage trucks. Whether you're shifting through the gears on a spirited back road drive or cruising into a local car show, the combination of raw LS power and smooth T56 shifting puts you in complete control.

To handle the added performance, this C10 has been fitted with a 4.5” lowering kit, giving it a sleek, aggressive stance without sacrificing driveability. It rides on a set of bold 20” American Racing wheels, giving the truck an unmistakable presence on the street. Power steering and power front disc brakes ensure that it remains easy to drive and responsive in all conditions, making it just as suited for daily cruising as it is for showing off on weekends.

Inside, the cabin has been given tasteful upgrades that combine modern comfort with classic style. A leather-wrapped bench seat with a folding armrest provides both comfort and practicality, while new door panels and a leather steering wheel complete the refreshed interior look. The dash has been upgraded with a Holley digital dash and Autometer Envision fully digital gauges, providing a clear, customizable readout of all critical information and adding a serious performance feel to the interior.

Comfort is further enhanced by the addition of Vintage A/C, delivering modern climate control and making this truck a pleasure to drive even during the hottest summer months. Every detail has been carefully considered, blending modern functionality into the rugged charm of this classic pickup.

While this C10 presents very well overall, it is being offered as a driver-quality build, and minor flaws are pointed out in the photographs for full transparency. These imperfections do not take away from the truck's striking appearance or outstanding performance and simply add character to a build meant to be driven and enjoyed rather than hidden away.

This 1985 Chevrolet C10 Resto-Mod is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to own a stylish, high-performance square body pickup that's already been tastefully modified and thoughtfully built. With modern power, manual transmission control, digital instrumentation, and a killer stance, it's ready to turn heads and deliver smiles on every drive. Whether you're cruising to a show or just out for a weekend drive, this C10 is the perfect blend of vintage style and modern muscle.
