General Motors originally created the Chevrolet and GMC C/K series as nothing more than a workhorse, but the second-generation revision brought not only the “
Action Line” tag but also a host of creature comforts. Surely, though, what could have been considered top of the line back in ‘69 now usually passes as obsolete. Not with this truck, though. 20 photos
While we’re faced with a (very yellow) vintage truck in the form of a 1969 Chevrolet C10, the body-off restoration process is actually just the tip of the iceberg. After all, why shouldn’t anyone have the classic looks and all the amenities expected from a truck that’s half a century younger?

Decades after it first rolled off the assembly lines, the F-Series half-ton that goes by the name F-100 is still making the headlines. And it does so because of the love it’s being shown by custom shops across America, which keep releasing incredible iterations of the Blue Oval pickup into the wild. 10 photos
Even now, a long time after production ended and after possibly thousands of custom projects based on it came to light, the F-100 still manages to be an alluring base for customization projects. The one you’re now looking at is one of the freshest, and it didn’t get to spin those wheels all that much since it was made.
Tuning up a GM HT383 crate engine to big power and torque. Jim Brown – Dec 21, 2020
The HT383 has been available for a number of years now, and it s an excellent repower option for you GM (on non-GM) truck or 4x4 thanks to its rated 325 hp at 4,500 rpm and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3,500. It s true that GM s aluminum-headed Fast Burn 350 makes 385 hp and 385 lb-ft for just an extra $100 over the HT383 s typical mail-order price. However, we ll show you that an out-of-the-box HT383 is no slouch, and just a few well-chosen add-ons can make it scream well past the limits of the Fast Burn 350 s potential thanks to its increased displacement of 33 cubes. Best of all, you can add the stuff as your budget allows.
