I was listening to c10 Talk the other day while doing some painting around the house, and in their Lonestar Throwdown episode the topic of using trucks for autocross came up.
Of course after once I was done painting, and with drink in hand, I cruised around looking for trucks on autocross courses which lead to today’s Theme Tuesday.
This C1500 has a pretty cool story, the owner had started it on one truck which then caught fire, but he transfered his work to this second truck and well, kept on truckin.It’s an LS powered rig now and more about it can be found here and here on Pro-Touring.com.This Advanced design truck might not be built to Autocross, but the owner looks like he’s having a blast giving it a go. Goals for myself perhaps? I need to hit up a Good Guys event anyway… – Source
There’s a Schwartz Performance chassis under this truck that looks like it works very, very well.
It looks as though there seriously wasn’t anything Butch King didn’t try in his Blazer that is sadly no longer with us – sourceHere;s another s10 built to corner, a build thread on this truck is here for your convince I’ve seen this photo quite a bit, but now I have a build thread on Kill Billet to go with it!The owner of this truck documented driving his car across the country in the Hot Rod Power Tour, and bending some corners with it here on alloymotors.comI tried to keep this post to mostly trucks in action but I made a few exceptions, this Ranger is a well deserved one I think. Sadly I have yet to be able to track down more informationOf all the trucks I found c10s seem to get autocrossed the mostC10 + Good Guys on Google is a great search combo if you are dying for more – Classictrucks.comI usually don’t like roof modifications on trucks, but, seeing this one uses more than makes up for itNo Limit specializes in making trucks do non truck stuff very well.Chris Smith’s C10 is one of my favorite competitive trucksIt also does a damn fine job of looking like a show truck when it needs to as well. When I saw it at SEMA in 2012 it had a 753 horsepower 454 between the fenders in 2012It was in full Optima Street Car Challenge mode at the timeIf you’re curious this is the truck beside it, another C10 built to manhandle road courses and Autocross tracksIt looks (and sounds) great cruising alongBut looks more at home on the course – myrideisme.com
As you can imagine this Rabbit hole goes quite deep, and if you’re wondering why I didn’t include noteworthy builds like the PCHRods C10R or the local Targa Truck, well, I’ve already thought of a differentTheme Tuesday for trucks taken to the next level.
