PCHRODS C10R (1967 Chevrolet C-10)

[PCHRODS]

You need to show more GMC love .

A carbon fiber grill would be awesome.

How about those seat brackets? Looks like they fit stock holes in the floor and most aftermarket seats?

these don't bolt into the factory spots, I preferred to have larger seat hardware than the factory bolts, so we made a slightly wider base and used 7/16" hardware. They would accomodate just about any after market seat.

Don't get me wrong, i love the GMC trucks too, but we have to start somewhere right? I happen to have 2 67 Chevy trucks so that's where we started....we'll expand in do time

Hey congratulations on your week at SEMA! Good luck this weekend at LVMS!

I'm sure there will be TONS of photos from SEMA and the optima event after but here was a quick shot with Rob and the truck in the Spectre booth at the start of SEMA.

It's been a while since we posted any updates on the C10R. As many of you might know, the truck made it's debut at the 2014 SEMA Show in the Spectre Performance Booth.



SEMA 2014


The truck was well received at the show, receiving a nomination as a Goodguys Gold Award Participant and one of 20 optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge Golden Ticket Qualifiers.



SEMA 2014


Thursday of SEMA, the final 10 OUSCI Golden Tickets were announced. We stood patiently waiting to hear Brandy's named called. It had been one of Brandy's bucket list items to race at OUSCI, but she never had the opportunity to do so. I had attended the event back in 2010 with my '69 C10. I really wanted her to experience the event first hand, plus it was a good opportunity for me to stand back and watch how the C10R handled.

optima batteries decided to have some fun with her and conclude the press conference after announcing 9 Golden Tickets. Finally after a good laugh, they announced that they had forgotten one last participant, in which the C10R and Brandy would move on to compete in the 2014 OUSCI at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Needless to say she was in tears (with excitement of course).

We were also fortunate enough to be a part of the first annual SEMA Ignited Cruise. Mike Norris made for a good passenger during the cruise as he tuned the truck; getting it ready to compete for OUSCI. It made for a late night, but was definitely worth it.

Saturday and Sunday brought on the real challenge; competing at OUSCI. We had only taken the truck out twice before this; a couple hour shakedown at Adam's Motorsports Park and then the NMCA Hotchkis Autocross event in Fontana the weekend before SEMA. Our goal while competing at OUSCI was to 1. hope the truck settings were good enough to get Brandy through the three events (the truck was literally finished while on the way to SEMA and there was not enough time to dial it in for OUSCI) 2. Hope nothing breaks while on track and 3. make sure Brandy kept away from those famous k-rails she likes so much.

All-in-all we couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The truck did great and we see huge potential for 2015. With some more seat time and the right adjustments , the truck shouldn't have any problems keeping up.





2015 brings some new twists and turns to the C10R. We will be announcing some new ventures with the truck within the next month.

We have also started posts on social media called C10R-The Things That Make It Work. With little spare time to post updates on the forum throughout the build, we wanted to go back and reflect on all the parts we used to make the C10R handle and function the way it does. We want to take those social media posts and elaborate in this thread on the parts used and the people we want to thank along the way. Starting next week we will start our first feature on this segment and many more to come throughout the year.

Such an amazing vehicle!

Our plan was to have the C10R Debut video during SEMA, but we were slightly overwhelmed with the video software we purchased. Now that we have had a couple months to play around with the software, we are happy to announce the first PCHRODS C10R Video is finally live. Check it out and make sure to check back on our social media sites for an announcement on our race calendar.
