Roadster Shop, one of the most widely recognized names in the aftermarket classic car scene, has released a new video on its YouTube channel documenting a customer’s 1967 Chevy C10 pickup truck.
This Roadster Shop-built truck serves as perfect proof of why one should never judge a book by its cover. To the uninitiated, the Chevy C10 in question probably looks like nothing more than a rusty old work truck that, at most, has a tired Chevy 350 V8 under the hood. In reality, though, this truck has more performance on tap than the vast majority of modern-day sports cars.
Power in this hugely impressive, no-expenses-spared build comes from a supercharged 6.2L LT5 V8 crate engine, which produces 755 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 715 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a GM 10-speed automatic transmission and a Strange S-Trac rear differential, while massive carbon-ceramic brakes and six-piston front calipers lifted from a C7 Corvette ZR1 provide stopping power.
There’s a lot more to this truck than a hugely powerful crate engine, though. The truck rides on a custom Roadster RideLine chassis with fully independent rear suspension and long-stroke smooth valve Fox shocks, giving it sports car-like handling to back up its 755 horsepower crate motor. A set of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires keep things planted to the pavement and are affixed to a set of stylish, lightweight Forgeline alloy wheels.
The interior of this Chevy C10 has also been upgraded with a reupholstered blue bench seat by JK Automotive designs, Dakota Digital gauges and a billet steering wheel with a classic Corvette cross flags center cap logo.

Nice looking truck and interesting article. Too bad only the first minute of the video plays then breaks up with no video.
But, it’s not a crew cab. (Sarcasm)
Very interesting.
Awesome ride well done!!
Sorry, that’s a 68 cab with the big rear glass, 67’s still had the small rear glass. 🤔
FYI the large rear window was an option in 67
panoramic big back glass was an option in 1967
