The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

December 15, 2018

Allan McCostlin’s 1970 Chevrolet C10

I love the look of classic pickups. While some may favor even older ones, this Chevy C10 has melted my heart. The most obvious change to the C10 is its low ride height. It’s more of a hot rod than a pickup now. The custom panels’ fitting is unbelievably good, and the bumpers have been tucked and wheel wells tubbed. The old chassis has been replaced with one by Roadster Shop. The height change has been augmented by a slight modification of stance, with 20 inch wheels at the back and 19 inch ones at the front. Stopping power is provided by six-piston Baer discs.

Under the hood, you’ll find a beautiful, custom Chevy 383 small-block engine, built by Tri Star Engines of Boston, Wisconsin. Its power output is 550 horsepower, which makes this one mean little pickup. A wonderful little restomod that effectively marries the pickup and hot rod.
