Paul Shauck came across this $600 '61 C10 while looking for something else. He left the 55-year-old paint alone but changed the hood for $100.

The C10 uses an iron block 5.3L from a 2001 Tahoe with a 4-inch stroke to get a new-school, 383ci displacement. Twin 62mm inducer turbochargers feed boost and give the truck around 750 hp. The drivetrain consists of a Turbo 400 with a Gear Vendors and a 9-inch with 3.50 rear gears.

 At the 2015 Ohio Mile May meet, the truck ran a best of 162.92 mph
