Vehicle description
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 custom pickup nicknamed "Boosted Bertha" is powered by a Mast Motorsports 408ci LS engine topped with a polished Magnuson LS7 TVS2800 supercharger and a FAST Big Mouth 102mm throttle body. The engine features 1000cc injectors, a Callies Compstar crank and rods, ARP fasteners, an LSX turbo camshaft and Porterbuilt fabricated headers feeding a 3-inch Flowmaster stainless exhaust system. Cooling is handled by a Flexalite custom radiator with dual fans. Power is delivered through a TCI 4L80E automatic transmission with a 10-inch billet converter. The truck rides on a fully custom chassis built by SloshTubz and features a one-off cantilever system designed for the QA1 adjustable shocks, allowing for an exceptionally low stance. The Mango Green exterior finish was applied by Eddie Jewell of Jewell Restorations and is complemented by custom Budnik Pivot wheels. The cab features a fully custom interior by Relicate Custom Leather, with Chocolate leather upholstery completed by Billy Hoover Street Rods, incorporating a German square-weave pattern. Comfort and function include integrated air conditioning and a handheld air-ride controller. This build was featured in the Replacement Parts booth at the 2015 SEMA Show, appeared on the cover of Truckin' magazine and was highlighted across multiple MotorTrend and print publications.
