LOOSY

A Street-Built '69 Chevy C10 That Doesn't Play!

- Corey Decker

SOME BUILDS LOOK good sitting still. Some are just built to haul groceries. Then there's Loosy, a 1969 Chevy C10 out of East Rutherford, New Jersey, that was put together to raise hell and have fun doing it. Its owner, Ed Brinksma, didn't farm this thing out. He's an auto body guy, so he did the paint, the bodywork, and a whole lot of the wrenching himself. Two years of late nights and weekends later, Loosy came out the other side ready to party.

CLEAN BUT MEAN

At first look, Loosy doesn't hit you with wild graphics or chrome everywhere. The grille and bumpers are stock, just cleaned up and painted. The roll pan out back smoothes everything out, and the body is covered in Caribbean Blue paint from Axalta. It's a color that pops without being flashy. What really grabs you is the stance. The truck sits low over Forgestar F14 wheels-19s up front and 15-inch drag radials out back. Those big meats in the rear aren't for show. They're there because Ed planned on putting real power to the ground.
