LT4-Powered 1964 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

This 1964 Chevrolet C10 pickup, expertly modified by Fat Fender Garage in Gilbert, Arizona, features a custom Porterbuilt Fabrications chassis paired with an Airlift adjustable suspension. It sports Avant Garde multi-piece wheels—20 inches in the front and 24 inches in the rear—complemented by unassisted Wilwood six-piston disc brakes. The truck’s exterior has been repainted in Porsche’s Chalk hue, and the pickup bed has been elevated, altered, and fitted with Ironko wood slats for a distinctive look. Powering this C10 is a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 crate V8 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a Currie rear end. The cabin boasts a contoured bench seat wrapped in red leather, along with a billet steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, and an Alpine touchscreen head unit. The vehicle is currently available on dealer consignment in California with a clean Nevada title.

The exterior of this C10 was meticulously repainted in the Porsche shade of Chalk during its build. The side mirrors, bumpers, and bodyside moldings were refinished in metallic gray, with carbon trim enhancing the LED headlights. Detailed photos of the paint and trim can be found in the gallery.

Riding on a Porterbuilt Fabrications chassis with a front drop member and an Airlift Performance adjustable air suspension featuring a carbon-look air tank, the truck’s bed floor was modified and raised to fit the larger wheels and tires, finished off with Ironko wood slats. Dual Optima batteries are housed in custom-fabricated boxes located behind the rear wheels.

The Avant Garde multi-piece wheels, wrapped in carbon-look vinyl, measure 22 inches in the front and 24 inches in the rear, paired with 255/30 front and 405/25 rear Pirelli P Zero Nero tires. Braking is handled by Wilwood discs with six-piston calipers and drilled and slotted rotors.

Inside, the truck features a contoured bench seat upholstered in red leather, complemented by matching door panels with billet handles. An Airlift suspension control module is mounted on the dashboard, and the build includes an Alpine touchscreen infotainment system and air conditioning.

The black Billet Specialties steering wheel is mounted on a tilting column with billet indicator and gear selector levers. The Dakota Digital instrument cluster includes a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, configurable digital display, and readouts for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The odometer displays 438 miles, though total mileage is unknown.

Under the hood, the engine bay has been shaved, tucked, and refinished in red. The supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 crate V8 engine, equipped with a custom air intake from beneath the engine, delivers power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a Currie rear end. The build also includes a Boyd Welding fuel tank and a dual exhaust system with Borla mufflers.
