TPD HiFi and Rick's Truck Shop: Bringing Premium Sound to a Classic 1966 C10 Pickup

At TPD HiFi, we’re all about enhancing the driving experience with premium sound systems. Our recent collaboration with Rick's Truck Shop in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is a testament to this commitment. We had the pleasure of working on a stunning 1966 Custom Cab C10 pickup, finished in the eye-catching GM Summit White. This project showcases our dedication to quality and innovation, featuring our TPD HiFi kick panels paired with Morel’s Carbon 62 speakers.

A Full Frame-Off Custom Build

The story behind this beautiful 1966 C10 is as impressive as the truck itself. Built by Randy from Bristow for his friend Kenny, this truck is a full frame-off custom build. It boasts a late-model LT engine paired with an eight-speed transmission, a combination that promises both power and reliability. Debuting last year, the truck has already made waves on the circuit, earning accolades and turning heads wherever it goes.

The Perfect Audio Upgrade

Rick Burkett, the owner of Rick's Truck Shop, has been a long-time collaborator with TPD HiFi. When it came time to upgrade the audio system in this C10, Rick knew who to call. Together, we designed and installed custom kick panels featuring the Morel Carbon 62 – a combination of a 6.5-inch woofer and a tweeter. These speakers are renowned for their compact size, making them a perfect fit for the C10 without compromising on sound quality.

Unmatched Sound Quality with Morel Speakers

Rick’s enthusiasm for Morel speakers is evident. Having used them since the late 80s, Rick has seen the evolution of their products and was particularly impressed with the shallow speakers used in this build. Despite his initial skepticism, the performance of the Morel Carbon 62 speakers exceeded his expectations. They offer an impressive range of possibilities and deliver sound quality that truly elevates the driving experience.

A Seamless Integration

The installation process was smooth, thanks to the forgiving nature of the Morel speakers when it comes to space requirements. Rick was thrilled with the final result, noting that the system is easy to control and manipulate, ensuring that every note and beat is delivered with precision. This upgrade was the final piece of the puzzle for the truck’s owner, who had been patiently waiting for this enhancement.

Listening to the Results

During the video, Rick and our team took a moment to sit in the C10 and experience the new audio system firsthand. The clarity and depth of the sound were immediately apparent, leaving everyone impressed. The system not only meets but exceeds the high standards we set for ourselves at TPD HiFi.

Conclusion

This project with Rick's Truck Shop highlights our commitment to delivering top-notch audio solutions for classic vehicles. The combination of our custom kick panels and Morel speakers provides an unparalleled audio experience, making any drive in this 1966 Custom Cab C10 an absolute pleasure. We look forward to more collaborations like this, bringing the best in sound quality to car enthusiasts everywhere.
