World-Class C10 by Scott's Hot Rods 525hp LS3 Auto Scott's Chassis Extensive Fab

A no-expense-spared, fully bespoke build executed by Scott's Hotrods 'n Customs, this 1967 Chevrolet C10 represents a modern benchmark for high-end custom trucks. Completed in 2024 following an approximately six-year build, the truck was unveiled at the 2024 Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, where it immediately drew national attention, earning selection as a Truck of the Year Late Model finalist and receiving the Meguiar's Magnificent Masterpiece Award at the 2024 Goodguys Lone Star Nationals. Documented from concept through completion, the build reflects a coordinated, multi-disciplinary effort focused on precision fabrication, cohesive design, and uncompromising execution.

At its core is a genuine 1967 C10 cab retaining the correct small back window, a one-year-only feature that defines authenticity within this generation. From that foundation, more than 40 body modifications were executed, each designed to refine proportion and surface continuity without disrupting the truck's original identity. The grille has been recessed, factory bumpers have been sectioned and reshaped to match revised body contours, and the roof has been subtly wedge-sectioned with shaved drip rails for a cleaner profile. Both front and rear glass have been flush-mounted using reworked factory components, requiring extensive metal reshaping and precision finishing. The stance is anchored by Billet Specialties B-Forged 570 three-piece wheels measuring 20", finished in black chrome and wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 295mm front and 345mm rear tires. The bed has been fully re-engineered with radiused inner panels, a raised floor, and retained usability, while BedWood Leopard Wood flooring is finished to a deep, multi-layered gloss. All exterior surfaces are finished in S650 Mustang Dark Matter Grey Metallic, complemented by over $16,000 in black chrome plating from Advanced Plating across exterior and trim components.

Power comes from a GM Performance LS3 crate rated at 525 horsepower, paired with a 4L70E automatic transmission. Power is routed through a Moser Ford 9" rear end equipped with 3.70 gears and an Eaton TrueTrac differential. The engine bay is defined by a fully reworked firewall that has been recessed and extended for improved ergonomics and spatial balance. Exhaust is handled by a custom stainless steel system by Scott's, fitted with MagnaFlow mufflers. The truck rides on a fully engineered Scott's Hotrods 'n Customs chassis featuring a complete coilover suspension system. A Scott's independent front suspension incorporates tubular upper and lower control arms, power rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners. The rear utilizes a Scott's 4-bar suspension with machined link bars and a panhard bar.

The interior, executed by Pro Auto Custom Interiors, is entirely bespoke and built around a custom-fabricated metal dash and center console, both reshaped and leather-wrapped in a coordinated deep red and grey leather scheme. Dakota Digital instrumentation sits within a custom black chrome bezel, complemented by an Alpine touchscreen system with Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay capability, seamlessly integrated into a matching custom surround. Vintage Air controls provide modern air conditioning, with vents, controls, and trim finished in black chrome and carried throughout the cabin, including the Sparc steering wheel, custom shifter, dash trim, and switchgear. The seating and door panels are fully custom-fabricated with diamond-stitched leather inserts, while integrated accent lighting highlights the depth and detail of the materials.

Accompanied by a comprehensive binder documenting over $710,000 in build receipts, not including the cost of the truck itself, this C10 stands as a fully realized, no-compromise execution of modern custom craftsmanship. With its documented six-year build timeline, proven show field recognition, and cohesive design carried through every component, it represents a level of investment, engineering, and detail rarely seen in a single build.
