HILL’S HOT RODS GETTIN’ DOWN ON A C30

THE guys at Hill’s Hot Rods just can’t seem to help to build beautiful square-bodies. One of their latest will be this ’76 C30 owned by Chance Gesch, which has been named #GoldDigger. This rendering by “Pinstripe Chris” Dunlop gives us a sneak peek into what the dually will look like in its shaved body and PPG Gold and Cream goodness. The truck is being built with all LMC Truck restoration bits, a monster fuel-injected 632-CID BluePrint big block, GC Cooling drop-in radiator/fan combo, and 24-inch American Force Quake wheels with Nexen N’Fera tires.

The down-low stance will come courtesy of a Porterbuilt front drop member and a RideTech four-link setup, with the latest air management system from Switch Suspension. The interior will be fully reworked by JD Glassworks and will sport a new audio system, electronics, and upholstery, along with Snowden custom seats and Classic Instruments gauges.

We’ll keep an eye on Chance’s truck as it progresses and will hopefully get the chance to see more of it soon!
