Of the many standout trucks at this year’s Texas C10 Nationals, a 1972 C10 called “Bruzer” was near the top.
The truck was originally built for autocross. Its low-slung stance makes the truck look track-ready. Plus, the C10’s sparkling blue-and-black two-tone paint with woodgrain elements is a feast for the eyes. And to top it off, “Bruzer” is powered by a Chevrolet Performance LS376/525 crate engine.*
“The LS engines make good horsepower and are dependable,” said owner Ronne Allen during the C10 Nationals.
However, Allen chose this particular engine not just because its ASA camshaft helps the engine make 525 horsepower and 486 lb.-ft. of torque. He did it also because of the mean sound.
In the truck, the engine is part of a Chevrolet Performance Connect & Cruise Crate Powertrain System. A SuperMatic 4L70-E four-speed automatic transmission is mated to the LS3-based mill.
“It's all one package, you get the wiring harness, computers and everything, it's just kind of plug and play,” Allen said. “It's very simple to install.”
With stunning looks and performance to match, it’s only fitting this truck should get the wallpaper treatment. High-resolution desktop and mobile images for your screens are available below.
