Following the popular Overhaulin’ television series, Rob Phillips started building cars on his own gaining notoriety when his 1969 Chevy C10 was shown at the 2007 and 2008 SEMA show

Rob Phillips and his wife Brandy Morrow Phillips are no strangers to the automotive world or the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show held each November in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rob grew up working on cars alongside his uncle. The experience he gained from drag racing and working in speed shops landed him a role on the popular television series Overhaulin’ as lead project manager. When the original show ended, Rob Phillips decided to branch out and start his own shop. Rob gained notoriety when his 1969 Chevy C10 pickup truck was taken to the SEMA show in 2007, 2008, and again in 2010. Building cars and attending shows introduced Rob to the world of Autocross competition only to quickly become hooked on the sport.

Like Rob, Brandy grew up around cars since the 1990’s joining her father, who works in the automotive aftermarket industry, at SCCA and NASA events. Brandy began competing and attending driving schools after getting her license. In 2008 Brandy was given the chance to compete in several Spectre Performance vehicles as part of a marketing program for the company. Her diligence paid off in 2011 when she won her first Goodguys Autocross event at the 2011 Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. Brandy hung up her driver’s suit in 2012 in favor of maternity clothes as the couple started a family.

The 1972 Chevy C10 project truck rolled into the Phillips’ garage in August 2012 in rather rough condition before the couple began the tear-down and C10R concept truck transformation

Even before their son was born, Rob and Brandy were making plans for their next project vehicle. Despite a long list of candidates the couple kept coming back to a Chevrolet C10 pickup. Rob had used his 1969 Chevy C10 show truck to compete in autocross and pro-touring events. His experience with the Chevy C10, and the fact that he had already begun designing and testing modifications intended for his truck, made the decision to build another C10 a no-brainer. Rob set aside his 1969 C10, and while Brandy was still pregnant, they acquired a 1972 Chevy C10 and began the tear-down and modification process.

The C10R concept first came about when Rob wanted to rebuild his 1969 C10 and take it to the next level of competitiveness. Using knowledge gained from racing the 1969 Chevy C10 truck, Rob knew what worked well and what didn’t. The goal for the C10R was to keep it from becoming a full blown race car, but still be able to hang with the top competitors in their race circuit. The couple chose to experiment with new products including a Detroit Speed and Engineering front suspension set up, and a custom rear suspension designed and built by Phillips. Many of the modifications Rob and Brandy are making to the C10R are unproven and until the truck is completed they can only hypothesize on how the C10R will perform.

The Chevrolet LS1 engine chosen to power the C10R truck is estimated at 585 horsepower, 575 lb-ft of torque, and will be set back 10” in the frame for better weight balance
