Join Chris Hamilton, Editor-in-Chief of Street Trucks magazine, for an in-depth walkaround and startup of Project Rocky, our 1979 Chevy C10 that went from rusty salvage to SEMA-worthy road warrior. In this video, we break down every major upgrade that transformed this squarebody into a modern hauler with classic soul. We start with the heart: a Summit Racing 5.3L LS crate engine pushing 400+ hp through a Monster 4L60E transmission. See the BDS Suspension lift, Rough Country spindles, and Performance Online disc brakes that give Rocky its aggressive stance on Atturo tires and Detroit Steel Wheels. We highlight the Vintage Air Gen-5 A/C, TMI Cruiser bench seat, Dakota Digital gauges, and the clean-as-hell paint job that earned it SEMA feature status. Watch the engine fire up and hear that LS rumble through the custom Dynaflow exhaust, pure music for any gearhead. If you're into square-body C10s, LS swaps, or just love seeing a project come together after years of wrenching, this is the video for you. Project Rocky proves that with the right parts and persistence, any old truck can become a legend.
