1974 Chevy K10 - Juggernaut
Street-Legal Chevy For Any Kind Of Throttle-Driven Competition
Photography by Ken Brubaker
Absolutely unstoppable. It doesn't matter if it's mud bogging in Bloomsburg, sand drags at the local quarry, ice racing on Lake George, or even street driving, Jim Otis' '74 K10 powers its way to the top anywhere that throttle rules. Ever since he bought it in 1978 as a toy to romp through southern Florida mud, Jim has been building this 11/42-ton to burn and churn through the deepest goo and has now spread his wings to compete in burnout contests. Jim's truck does everything fast-and is guaranteed to get you to the grocery store and back between commercials because this thing is still street legal.
