A Modern Era Chevy C10

AT Velocity, the team is all about breathing new life into American legends, and its latest project is a true homage to the golden age of trucks with a 1967-72 Chevy C10. This is a full-on reimagining of the classic C10, turning it into a high-performance street beast that still holds onto its roots. The folks at Velocity have dropped in a brand-new LT1 V-8 engine, pairing it with a 10-speed automatic transmission for the kind of power and smoothness that puts a grin on your face every time you hit the gas.

…this truck isn’t just about raw power. It’s built on a Roadster Shop chassis, so it’s got the handling to match.

But this truck isn’t just about raw power. It’s built on a Roadster Shop chassis, so it’s got the handling to match. With an independent front suspension, a Ford 9-inch rear axle, and Fox coilovers on all corners, this C10 can carve corners as well as it can tear down a straightaway. The Baer six-piston brakes make sure you can rein in all that power, while the 18-inch Forgeline wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires keep you glued to the road.

Velocity didn’t cut any corners on the exterior either. The truck still rocks its classic lines, but they’ve been enhanced with modern touches like JW Speaker LED headlights, custom-machined billet exterior components, and BASF Glasurit paint options that make it stand out in any crowd. Whether you go for the single or two-tone paint, or add the vintage-inspired beltline trim, this truck looks just as good sitting still as it does flying down the highway.

Sit inside, and you’re greeted with Velocity’s signature interior treatment. The bench seat stays true to its roots but gets a serious upgrade with premium leather and three-point seatbelts. The dashboard is a mix of classic and modern, with a Velocity-exclusive Dakota Digital gauge cluster, power windows, and a leather-wrapped Sparc steering wheel attached to an Ididit tilt column for maximum comfort. And let’s not forget the tech. An Alpine double-DIN head unit with Bluetooth and CarPlay backed by a Focal premium speaker system keeps the tunes pumping while you enjoy the ride.

If you’re looking for a truck that combines vintage style with modern performance, this C10 might just be the one for you.

Starting at $319,900, the Velocity Chevy C10 isn’t just a truck—it’s a statement. It’s the sixth line of modernized classic vehicles from Velocity, joining the ranks of its K5 Blazer, Bronco, F-250, F-100, and Mustang builds. If you’re looking for a truck that combines vintage style with modern performance, this C10 might just be the one for you. With a 14-week production timeline and deliveries starting in fall 2024, this classic is ready to roll into the future.

 Whether you go for the single or two-tone paint, or add the vintage-inspired beltline trim, this truck looks just as good sitting still as it does flying down the highway.
