    CLASSIC TRUCKSFEATURED
    1971 Chevrolet C10 – Stella Mae

    Written by Wes Drelleshak on December 16, 2010



    EVROLET C10 – STELLA MAE















    Trey And Keith Stephen's '71 Chevy C10

    Whoever said “father knows best” had it right. Trey Stephens struck a deal with his dad, Keith, that if he kept up his grades in college Keith would build a truck for him. Guess who got the grades? After a long Craigslist surf session, Keith found the truck in Arizona and, after playing phone tag all night with the seller, the deal was made and the truck was bought sight unseen. Lucky for them the C10 was in great condition and was exactly what they were looking for. With only a few dents to be hammered out of the body it was in great condition. Although a lot of reworking of the undercarriage was done in order for the truck to sit as low as it does, the truck still retains the stock exterior appearance.
    The pickup was not repainted to look patina; the way it looks now is pretty much how they bought it, which is what they had in mind. For Trey and his dad it was about finding the diamond-in-the-rough stock truck with perfect patina and minimal rust. Seeing the truck with my own eyes, I would say mission accomplished. The character of this truck comes from the years it has been battling the elements. The only thing Keith said he labored on the body was a deep cleaning and deep polishing job. That’s right polishing. I did a double take when I walked by it at the Kansas Speedway Goodguys show last September and, when inspected closely, the paint has a deep gloss finish. Because of this glossy finish I asked how the paintjob was done? Keith said he was not sure, some guy at GM did it along time ago.


    The suspension had to be reworked to fit the huge 22-inch Coy’s C5 wheels out back and 20-inch Coy’s C5 in front. To wrap the giant wheels, Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires 255/40R20 are in front and 265/40R22 in the rear. Keith installed the rear suspension with help from Roger Lynskey at RPL Customs of Royse City, Texas. Nathan Porter at Porterbuilt Street Rods in Apache Junction, Arizona, made the rear tubular trailing arms, crossmember, and Stage II C-notch kit. Trey and Keith used airbags from Slam Specialties to go from ride height to dragging the frame. For the front suspension DJM 3-inch drop spindles from a ’73-87 Chevy kit were adapted to Porterbuilt’s tubular upper and lower control arms, followed by KYB shocks all the way around for the heavy hitting and sometimes unsuspected potholes.
    Keith says, “It was a fun build to do with my son, Trey, and great incentive for him to get good grades in school. The truck was not a high-dollar build, but rather a twist on a stock truck. It’s a Stepside in a world full of Fleetside C10s, and it stands out in a crowd. We named the truck “Stella Mae” after a few choice beverages were accidently kicked and rolled under the truck. It was fitting since the color of the bottle’s logo was very similar in color.” Well, Trey, keep up the good grades in school, and Keith, keep up the good work on Stella Mae. We can’t wait to see what you guys do with the other ’67 Chevy Fleetside

          1968 Chevy C10 – Creations n’ Chrome’s

          Written by Drew Phillips on October 9, 2013

          Wes Drelleshak - writer;


          CHEVY C10 – CREATIONS N’ CHROME’S


















          The Creations n’ Chrome Mustangs had become quite well known for their colored chrome finishes, but oftentimes people would overlook the shop’s ability to build a complete vehicle. Everyone would check out the Mustangs’ exteriors, but would pass up the rest of the stuff like the chassis and engine work. This caused the boys at Creations n’ Chrome to stop and think about ways to showcase the shop’s ability to build a complete vehicle and how they would approach the next build differently.
          Starting off with a great truck, C&C’s 1968 Chevy C10 was being shaped and formed to the ultimate shop truck. First thing was deciding on what would power such a sleek C10. The guys in the shop got together and brainstormed on engines and came up with a 502 Ram Jet. Well they weren’t finished with the engine just yet and decided that adding a Vortech V7 YSi blower would be the icing on the cake.


          A set of 1.75-inch tubed Kooks headers feed into 3-inch exhaust with CGS mufflers calming some of the sound down. To supply enough fuel to the engine a Holley Billet Dominator fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator were installed external of the tank. A 700-R4 was built to handle the massive power of the supercharged Ram Jet and a custom-built Currie 9-inch rearend was installed.
          The 9-inch rearend has 3.83 gears with a Tru-Trac differential to plant both tires on the ground. The front suspension featured Hotchkis TVS upper and lower control arms and drop spindles, including a new sway bar. The rear suspension has CPP trailing arms with Hotchkis springs, shocks, and sway bars. The frame of the C10 was also reinforced to support the Ram Jet’s massive output.
          For the interior, C&C graphed in a set of 2012 Ford Mustang GT seats and deleted the headrest for visual reasons. The door panels were covered in high-end leather and stitched in a diamond pattern to match the seats. A custom wood center console was made to house the integrated rear-firing subwoofer. The console also has a cool place to set a drink because the guys at C&C wanted this truck to not only look great, but also be practical on the road – that’s right, this truck is a driver. Classic Instruments gauges line the cluster alongside the Billet Specialties steering wheel and Lokar Shifter.
          When I first laid eyes on this truck it was at the 2012 Las Vegas SEMA show displayed in the Hotchkis booth. I thought it was another truck that I had recently photographed, but the engine and interior made me take another look. To me this truck represents what can be accomplished with a C10 as well as support from the aftermarket and great vehicle builders such as Creations n’ Chrome.
