The 1967 Chevy C10 known as “Max Headroom” showcases Kindig‑It Design pushing creativity and engineering to new limits. It stands out as a convertible truck that blends craftsmanship with bold visual flair.
Drop‑Top Innovation on a Classic Truck
Kindig‑It’s team, led by Dave Kindig and foreman KevDogg, chopped the top by 2½ inches and engineered a fully retractable hardtop that neatly folds into the bed. With a touch, the tonneau cover lifts and the cab opens, turning this classic truck into a unique convertible.
Powertrain Specs and Performance
Under the stretched hood sits a Lingenfelter‑built LS7 engine pumping out about 680 horsepower, paired with a GM Performance 6L90E automatic transmission and paddle shift. A carbon‑fiber intake and stainless headers complete the setup, ensuring both power and durability.
Chassis, Suspension, and Brake Package
The truck rides on a Roadster Shop chassis with independent front and rear suspension, all finished in gloss‑black powder coat. Wilwood disc brakes on custom‑sized 20×8 and 21×13 Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in red‑lined Pirelli P Zero tires deliver precise stopping power.
Show‑Quality Styling and Finish
Painted in a two‑tone “Black Hole Black” and “No Strings White,” the truck features a stretched hood, shaved tailgate, smooth door handles, and custom roll pans. Every surface was refined to highlight flawless fabrication and a sleek silhouette.
Deluxe Interior Design
Inside, the cabin is wrapped in Rosso Red leather over Corbeau seats. The dash houses Dakota Digital RTX gauges behind a retro‑inspired design, while the custom console, steering wheel, and bespoke panels add a luxurious touch.
Recognition and Story Behind the Build
The “Max Headroom” project earned finalist positions for major custom truck awards and was showcased on television for its groundbreaking engineering. The shared vision between Kindig‑It and the truck’s owner fueled this striking transformation from concept to reality.
Summary
Kindig‑It Design’s 1967 Chevy C10 “Max Headroom” blends radical vision with flawless execution. From its retractable roof to its 680‑hp LS7 and premium interior, it’s a one‑off that challenges what a truck can be.
