Not digging the Partridge-Family-bus paint scheme, or the overall look of the truck, Steve began transforming the C-10 into what he visualized himself behind the wheel of. It's not that Steve doesn't like the front end of the '70, it's just that he likes the look of the '67 much more. For that reason a '67 front clip now sits in place of the '70. Refining things a step further is a shaved bumper and antenna. In order to match the marker-light-free fenders of the '67, Steve had Kizer's Auto Body shave the bed marker lights. Kizer's also shaved the stake pockets, door handles, and filler neck, as well as molded in the rear roll pan. As for the tailgate, they shaved it and added an LED third brake light to it as well. When everything was said and done, Kizer's worked the body and gave the truck a lustrous PPG Black finish. Adding some subtle, stylish flare to the '70 are the Billet Specialties Vintec wheels with knock-off caps--20x9.5 in the rear and 20x8.5 up front. Along with that is a Bruce Horkey wood bed that Steve installed himself.
The black presence of the truck finds its way inside as well. Steve took the truck down to Ray's Upholstering in Scranton, PA, where they completely reworked the inside of the cab. Blending factory trademarks with new ideas, the interior is as appealing as the overall exterior presence of the '70. On the inside, the dash was left in its stock form. However, CPP billet dash inserts were installed for a distinguished look. Also in the mix are Auto Meter gauges, a Lokar shifter, and a new, polished column. As for the rest of the interior, it's all custom. The door panels are one-off creations outfitted with polished billet handles and custom tweeter enclosures. As for the seat, it's a '67 bench seat that has been recovered in red Ultra leather with some unique stitching. The headliner and carpet are also custom. With the truck finished, both its inner and outer beauty are on display for all eyes to behold. Even Danielle's. CCT
