\"1978<\/a><\/p>\n

Pro Touring Texas<\/a> gave this 1978 Chevy C10 a complete makeover at their company in Springtown, Texas. The truck received the dependable 6.2 L LS3 V8 making 525 hp (386 kW) and 486 lb-ft (658 Nm) of torque. Behind the motor is a 6L90E six-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end. The motor and transmission run on a Terminator X Max ECU with the transmission kit<\/a>. The truck sits on a Roadster Shop Slammed Spec chassis<\/a> with adjustable coilovers and parallel 4-link rear suspension. The truck has plenty of braking thanks to Baer Pro+ six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors on each corner. The polished factory painted body is accented by a black grill, billet sideview mirrors, and Forgeline 22-inch wheels.<\/p>\n
