The Cheyenne
🔥 Mo’ Muscle Cars 1979 Chevy Cheyenne C10 Restomod
Dive into the impressive build of this 1979 Chevrolet Cheyenne C10, transformed by Mo’ Muscle Cars into a high-performance, contemporary restomod. Named for its bold style and precision engineering, this truck delivers a perfect balance between classic cues and modern muscle.
Modern LS1 Power & Enhancements
At the heart of this build lies a potent 350‑hp LS1 5.7L small-block V8, swapped in to offer crisp throttle response, reliability, and plenty of torque for street cruising or show circuits. Paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and beefed-up rear differential, this Cheyenne delivers modern performance in a vintage package.
Suspension & Stance That Turn Heads
The truck rides strikingly low, featuring a custom air-ride or coil-over suspension setup that hugs the pavement while retaining classic C10 flair . The flush-fit wheels and shaven appearance provide a seamless, aggressive ride height that elevates the Cheyenne’s road presence.
Show-Quality Finish
Draped in a deep red paint, this C10 catches light in all the right places, highlighting sculpted lines and sharp contours. Polished trim, custom grille, and detailed finishing touches contribute to a cohesive visual masterpiece.
Custom Interior Touches
While the video highlights focus on the exterior and powertrain, Mo’ Muscle Cars’ dedication implies the cabin likely received upgrades—modern seats, custom dash, fresh upholstery, and creature comforts—fully respecting the build's restomod ethos.
Heritage Rooted in Passion
Built for owner Marcos Regalado, this Cheyenne is a nostalgia-driven tribute: “This C10 brings back so many memories of my dad… I had to fully build it from top to bottom. From suspension to wheels, paint color, motor—everything had to meet my vision” . It’s more than a truck—it’s a legacy on wheels.
