"Rocket Ralph" - 1982 Chevrolet

Meet Rocket Ralph — 1982 Chevrolet C10 Short Box StepSide

Rocket Ralph is the perfect blend of classic American style and modern performance. With its iconic step-side bed, bold square-body lines, and eye-catching black-on-red color combo, this truck turns heads everywhere it goes. It captures the spirit of vintage trucking — and backs it up with serious muscle under the hood.

This freshly restored build is powered by a 377ci stroker engine built from a Chev 400 4-bolt main block (.030 over), featuring a 350 LT1 crank and rods, TRW pistons, and a precision-balanced rotating assembly. It’s topped off with Edelbrock heads, a belt-driven blower, MSD 6 Boost Timing Master Ignition, and a Comp Cams 292 Magnum cam. Supporting upgrades include Crane hydraulic lifters, roller rockers, GM Performance push rods, Sanderson ceramic-coated hugger headers, an Edelbrock gear drive timing set, Powermaster chrome alternator, billet pulleys, and Bowtie iron heads. Cooling is handled by a large aluminum 2-core radiator with electric fan, and the setup is backed by an automatic transmission and a 3.73 gear ratio with positraction.

The exterior features a fresh coat of black paint with less than 300 km on it, paired with a classic wood-lined bed for timeless character. Inside, the cab has been thoughtfully upgraded with a red ABS headliner, new door pins, interior lighting, and a retro Bluetooth stereo. For sound, it’s fitted with PowerBass S-Series shallow speakers — 6x9” (50W RMS) behind the seat and 3.5” (30W RMS) in the dash — delivering clean, modern audio without losing the vintage vibe.

While the 5-digit odometer reads 59,807 km (as of 04/28/25), the true condition of this truck is far fresher. Most major systems — including the drivetrain, paint, and interior — have under 300 km of use since the build. It’s essentially a new truck in a classic shell, fully refreshed and ready for cruising or showing.
