1970 GMC C10 Stepside Restomod 5.3 Liter v8 Vortec Auto

The interior continues the upgraded nature while keeping an eye on vintage style. The best place to see that in in the seating. This was upgraded to a CST-style setup with bucket seats and a cup holder center console in between. Plus, the ultra-desirable houndstooth cloth inserts are practically an icon all on their own. Newer door panels, clean carpeting, good visors, and a smooth dash, and a retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo all give this a quality feel. And because this is also a true driver's truck, you get an upgraded sports steering wheel. And the full gauge package upgrade will remind you of more modern GM machines, and that's also a hint at what's under the hood.

The engine bay has the unmistakable look of upgraded power. After all, the Vortec name was decades away in the GM world when this truck was produced. This 5.3-liter fuel-injected V8 is related to the LS family, and so you have proper fuel-injected pickup power. This fires up readily and runs as a good FI machine should. The 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission was built to go with this motor, and it does it smoothly while providing overdrive comfort. There are also more desirable driver's features like a stout 12-bolt rear end, power steering, and power brakes w/front discs that make this custom stepside truck ready to be a great anytime pickup.
