Known as, “Cooked”, this fearsome 1965 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Custom is an over-the-top build and bad to the bone! It was designed by car designer Tristan Pengelly of Renderings by Tristan located in Canada. It was built by Chris Cerce and his team at Chris Cerce Customs located in Taunton, MA. It was featured in the first issue of Truck Hub magazine in the Summer 2020 which is included. The build started in September of 2018 and was completed in December of 2019. Since completion it’s logged 496 miles and this is the first it’s been listed for sale. It’s powered by a Don Hardy LSA V8 with a Whipple Supercharger with 925HP and a TCI Automotive GM 4L80E Street Fighter automatic transmission. The Roadster Shop Chassis provides full chassis performance for the ultimate driving experience.

The exterior of this C10 is so beautiful it’s hard to put into words. The stylish and sporty design is truly timeless especially when it’s been slightly customized like this example. The cab was removed from the original chassis and media blasted. The body was sprayed with epoxy primer before the custom metal work was started. The body received new floors, lower A-pillars, cab corners, door bottoms and a fender. The body was laser leveled and all the panels were precisely gapped to one another. To be clear, the body lines and gaps are at a much higher level than the factory ever produced. The bed was widened to match the bodyline of the cab which looks amazing. It was finished in Porsche Carmine Red from Axalta with five coats of Spies Hecker high solids clear coat. The paint work is exceptional throughout and was recently detailed to a show quality shine by MS CLASSIC CARS. The front windshield including the rubber seal was replaced new. The rear window was also replaced new and flush mounted. The two vent windows with chrome trim were replaced new and the door glass was left original. All the glass is slightly tinted throughout. The truck has a killer stance on custom 20” Forgeline “Grudge” 3-piece wheels that have a polished outer lip and Bronze Metallic power coated inner lip and center with polished edges. The wheels are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires that are 285-30-20 on the front and 345-30-20 on the rear.

The custom interior of this C10 is also so beautiful it’s hard to describe in words. Ben Hermance of Hermance Designs located in Worchester, MA designed the complete interior. It was then brought to life by JK Automotive located in Stoneham, MA. This is a one-of-a-kind interior that’s the perfect blend of the original design and modern upgrades. During the build process the floor was extended 4” and the cab was widened 3” behind the seat to allow for more interior space. The floors were covered with a special paint material for sound deadening. Items like the headliner, dash and mini-console were all fabricated. The metal smoothed and painted in a light brown base with a matte clear. A new wiring kit from Ron Francis was installed.

The engine compartment is highly detailed with many custom features and parts. The heart of this C10 is a Supercharged LSA V8 engine that was built by Don Hardy Race Engines located in Floydada, TX. The engine was dyno tested and produced 926HP at 6,800 RPM and 835 lb-ft of torque at 5,100 RPM. The engine specifications sheet and dyno sheet are included. The engine is a Chevrolet Performance LSA cast-aluminum block with six-bolt main, 4340 forged steel crank, 4340 H-beam rods, Diamond forged pistons and Dart LS3 PRO1 280cc aluminum heads with 68cc chambers. The engine was outfitted with a 2.9L Whipple twin-screw Supercharger, Holley Dominator EFI system 85-pound FAST Precision Flow injectors, Nick Williams Performance 102mm throttle body and LS7 coils. The engine is coupled to a new TCI Automotive GM 4L80E automatic transmission that is rated to handle 1000HP. It’s also equipped with a Circle D Pro-Series billet converter and 3” billet driveshaft. The power is transferred to the pavement through the new Ford 9” POSI rear end that was finished Cerakote Cobalt to follow the theme. The rear end was outfitted with an Eaton Detroit Truetrac differential, Strange Engineering Pro-Series nodular iron third member, 31-spline axles and 3.55 gears.

The undercarriage is also highly detailed with many custom features and parts. The underside was finished in satin black for a smooth and clean appearance. The body sits on a new Roadster Shop Spec Series Chassis number #003344 which was also painted satin black. The Roadster Shop Chassis paperwork and serial tag is included.
