Here is a 1968 Chevrolet C10 we built for a customer located in British Columbia, Canada. The owner originally came to Schwartz Performance seeking a C10 chassis, engine, and transmission. He did not own a C10 yet, but knew he wanted a 67-68 C10 with a big back window. After discussing options, we ended up sourcing a truck for the customer and completed the project from start to finish. The goal was to have a truck with original styling but handle like a modern Corvette.
