Schwartz Performance<\/a> was tasked with building a Canadian customer the ultimate C10 truck<\/a>. The company started by finding a 1968 Chevy C10 with a small-block V8 and manual transmission. It then went through many hours being rebuilt with upgraded power and handling. <\/p>\n

At the heart of the project is a supercharged 6.2 L LT5 V8<\/a> crate motor producing 755 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque. The motor features a forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons, 2.6 L Eaton TVS supercharger, and dry sump system. Schwartz Performance completed the engine build with custom 1.875-inch stainless steel longtube headers and 3-inch exhaust.<\/p>\n

Behind the powerful V8 is a Quicktime bellhousing bolted to a T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission. A custom steel driveshaft transfers the motor’s torque to a full floating Moser 9-inch rear end with a Currie nodular iron third-member. Inside is a TrueTrac limited-slip differential with a 3.70 ratio and 31-spline axles. <\/p>\n

The truck sits on G-Schwartz Performance’s chassis<\/a> featuring splined swaybars, quick-ratio steering rack, and Ridetech adjustable coilovers. Keeping the motor’s power under control is Baer Pro-Plus six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors front and rear. A set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 tires (295\/30, 355\/30) are mounted on Forgeline FF3C wheels (19×10, 19×12). <\/p>\n
