classic vintage chrome 8 lug chevy truck automatic bbc Dakota Digital Holley
Description
This 1969 Chevrolet C20, upgraded to 4x4, is a truck built for extra duty, and that includes fresh fuel-injected big block power and a commanding stance. So when you want your vintage truck to also be a tough one, it's great to find one that has been built to be used to the fullest. But as you dig deeper into this unique machine, it has thoughtful details, like the slick two-tone paint, A/C interior, and overdrive transmission. So you'll start to see the brute is an all-around stunner.
That modern black respray does this truck right. It has a clearcoat luster that helps with the truck's intimidation factor. Plus, gives a nice definition to pieces like the cowl hood upgrade and the desirable step side short bed. There's added distinction with premium pieces like the metallic gray upper section of the cab, shining chrome bumpers, cab roof lights, and handy step plates. But the overall look isn't so over-done that people will accuse of having a trailer queen. Instead you know this is the one that tows the trailer queens (and even has the proper hitch to do it.) There's even a spray-in bedliner to help keep this looking good while you pull real truck duty.
Inside you'll see more signs of a proper investment. There's less than 1,500 miles on the build, and so it has a fresh feeling on the custom door panels, carpeting, headliner, and comfy bench seat with iconic houndstooth cloth inserts. You get the right vintage features, like the Chevy sports steering wheel on the tilt column, and we all love a rear sliding glass window in a pickup. But what you'll really love are all the modern upgrades. The gauges look crisp day or night with a cool blue glow; the stereo is an AM/FM/CD/DVD/XM unit with a flip-up touchscreen and Bluetooth; and there's modern R134a air conditioning to keep you feeling cool. Plus, the Holley EFI interface installed under the dash lets you know there's something special under the hood.
A big truck needs a big powerhouse. That's why they installed a fresh 454 cubic-inch crate big block. More than just a big displacement, it has upgrades like ATK aluminum heads, Holley Terminator electronic fuel injection, and Hooker headers. This was nearly a $5k investment all on its own, and that doesn't include another $2k for the upgraded drive belt system. Plus, you have other great supporting components like the Optima red top battery and a Be Cool aluminum radiator. So this is a truck upgraded for big power and a stout construction. The 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle the enhanced V8, and it's also smooth enough for overdrive cruising. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, huge suspension lift, and Toyo Open Country tires on 8-lugh wheels are awesome for off-roading. But the power steering and Hydratech power brakes are also welcomed when you're on the pavement. In fact, the way this one drivers with confidence proves they were out to make more than just an off-roader during the restoration.
This Chevy 4x4 has been given all the right investments to be the truck you've always wanted. And since it's turn-key ready today, you need to call now!
