Vehicle Detail
You are bidding on a super nice fuel injected 1970 Custom C10 Chevy Suburban with rear air ride that is in excellent shape, very clean and ready to be driven anywhere. These are becoming increasingly more difficult to find in good shape and are only going up in value. This suburban spent most of its life in North Carolina and had very limited rust upon purchase. The objective of this project was to build a super cool dependable cruiser with a great blend of the old with the new that could be driven anywhere. The complete drive train, interior and suspension were removed and replaced with more modern mechanics and suspension making this ride much improved and way more practical than whenever it rolled off the assembly line in 1970. Here are some of the features: Engine Compartment & Drive Train:With the more modern running gears, this suburban will cruise down the interstate at 85mph with no sweat while getting much better gas mileage compared to a carbureted 350 engine. Fuel Injected computer controlled 350 TBI engine 700r4 automatic transmission w/overdriveEngine has all new sensors/senders for computer and gaugesDrive shaft was rebuilt w/ all new universal jointsNewer model posi 12 bolt rear Newer model rear tank w/ internal baffles and new fuel pumpNew 3” exhaust system w/ dual Flowmasters(40 series) for a nice mellow sound…runs through the mid crossmember so that NO exhaust shows underneath from the sidePower Front Disk Brakes w/new front calipers, rotors & brake pads New Rear drums & brake shoesNew front and rear brake linesTilt Power SteeringLarge radiator…engine could run on the equator for days and not get hotNew ball-milled open air filter…stud kit was used in order to convert the TBI filter housing to an open element filter in order to give the engine a retro lookNew Billet American Racing Torque Thrust wheels…20x8.5 front & 20x10 deep dish rearNew Nexen Tires Suspension: The stance of this suburban was done the right way in order to maintain the correct geometry and handling of this ride. The front end is super tight and was professionally aligned so that it rides and drives excellent at any speed. New McGaughys Drop kit w/ New Front drop spindles & front springsThe rear was bagged for an excellent ride and height adjustment….kit includes 2 rear bags with top and bottom mounting brackets, small air tank, paddle valve w/pressure gauge, and the a/c compressor is currently used to fill the tank. You can upgrade as you see fit, or easily remove the kit and install a set of rear springs.5 Lug Conversion…the entire front suspension was converted to a newer model chevy(’73-’87) front crossmember and a-arms…new bushings and upper & lower a-arm joints were installedNew front wheel bearings New tie rod endsNew pitman & idler armsRear end is a newer model 12 bolt posi rearNew CPP C-NotchNew front and rear shocksNew CPP rear shock relocatorsNew CPP adjustable rear Deluxe Trac panhard bar Front sway bar Interior: Excellent blend of the old with the modern comfort and convenience of the new. Interior looks like it came out in this vehicle and makes for a more enjoyable and comfortable ride than the stock "bus" seats that came in these vehicles. Billet steering wheel w/ Tilt power steeringNew charcoal grey Carpet w/ extra layer of jute paddingFloors are in immaculate shape with no rustNewer model Chevy Tahoe front and rear adjustable seats w/ shoulder seat belts…rear seats will lay down for more storage room(just like they do in a new Tahoe)New digital JVC CD player w/ remote…and built-in Bluetooth technology with aux port for ipod/iphone hookupVery nice sound system w/ brand new front & rear Alpine speakers…6” in the front aftermarket kick panels & 6x9” in the rear with JBL amp and a 12” adjustable Memphis Car Audio subwooferOriginal A/C cab…comes with compressor, but A/C lines will need to be finished…my next step with this project was to install a Vintage A/C systemAll glass is either new or in perfect shape w/ new tint and all new seals except wing glassNew dash padAll new door & window sealsAll gauges work…speedometer runs about 10 mph fastWipers do not work on high Exterior: The sheet metal of this truck is in great shape…Is it perfect? NO, it has a few minor bubbles, nicks & dings, and some rust underneath the doors. Again, nothing major....I just want to be honest and make sure you understand that it does have a few minor quirks....it has been driven daily as it was intended to do. The undercarriage has never been sprayed with undercoating and is in great shape…this is the reason I bought this suburban. Grey/Burgundy base coat/ clear coat paint is approximately 2 yrs. old…the top grey color is in almost perfect shape…the lower burgundy color does have a few nicks & small dings from being driven. Sorry for the picture quality, but the color looks much better in person than in the pics.New ’72 C10 Front grill & shellNew chrome front and rear bumpersNew chrome side mirrorsNew head/tail/side & turn signal lightsAll Doors shut great & windows roll up and down freely If you are looking for a nice classic vehicle that the entire family can enjoy, then you need look any further. With a few minor tweaks (engine dress up & minor cosmetic repairs), this would be a very high end ride that you would not be afraid to pull into any show. Again, all the old drive train has been replaced with a 350 Chevy fuel injected TBI engine and 700r4 automatic overdrive trans, and all suspension has been upgraded and rebuilt in order to make this vehicle as dependable and practical as possible. The complete interior has been modernized as well with the comfort and amenities offered with today’s vehicles. Seats and interior from sound mat to the headliner were meticulously installed and appear to have come out of the factory that way. This suburban was built to be driven and can be anywhere….it is a true “ turn key” and drive home vehicle…don’t worry about bringing a trailer to pick it up….fly in and drive home!

On Oct-05-14 at 11:31:16 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had several questions about the "quality" of the paint, and rightfully so....I know all too well how difficult it is to judge the appearance of paint based on pics. I will say this...it does not have the "appearance" of a $80k show car, but it has a better paint job than what comes out on the newer model Chevy vehicles.
