1986 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Restomod

Some trucks are restored. Others are reimagined. This 1986 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Restomod takes classic square-body style and blends it with modern performance, comfort, and attitude.

Finished in a stunning Cardinal Red, this custom standard cab C10 has been extensively built with quality and craftsmanship throughout. Under the hood sits a brand-new GM crate 6.2L LS3 engine paired with a brand-new GM 4L60E automatic transmission, delivering modern V8 power with dependable drivability. The engine bay is finished with a CVF serpentine system, heavy-duty radiator, and dual cooling fans to keep this LS3 running cool.

The chassis has been thoughtfully modified with a C-notched frame to achieve the ideal lowered stance, complemented by new drop spindles and a 3.73 GM Positraction rear end for improved performance and cruising capability. Stopping power comes from CPP drilled and slotted brakes on all four corners, while a set of new 20-inch US Mags wheels wrapped in new Toyo Proxes tires completes the aggressive street-truck look.

The exterior showcases a clean, refined custom style with a new grille assembly, LED lighting front and rear, and a textured bed liner. The exterior door handles, along with front and rear bumpers have been removed for a sleek, streamlined appearance, and the bodywork was completed using metal rather than fiberglass, preserving the integrity and quality of the build. Even the tailgate latch was relocated inside to further sharpen the truck’s smooth appearance.

Inside, the custom cabin features a cool gray interior with a custom upholstered bench seat, new door panels, and fresh carpet. Modern upgrades include updated air conditioning, power windows, Kenwood head unit, and a Dakota Digital dash, giving this classic pickup the comfort and convenience expected from a newer vehicle.

With just over 800 miles on the build, this C10 represents the perfect balance of vintage square-body charm and modern LS-powered performance. A head-turning restomod built for the road, the show field, and everything in between.
