The Top 10: Thomas Dickerson's 1967 Chevy C10

After seeing Thomas Dickerson’s first build, a 1967 Mustang GT350 tribute that we featured back in 2023, it was fair to wonder if the SEMA Young Guns competitor could top it. Sure, he would hone his skills and develop new ones, but could he really take a big step beyond the ’Stang?

Well, with this 1967 Chevy C10 pickup, the answer is a resounding “Yes!”

And, according to Thomas, the two aren’t even in the same league. “I was telling my dad before SEMA, the Mustang was great, but these two builds are completely polar opposites of one another. I mean, the Shelby was more of that restomod style and the truck is more of a true custom,” he explained.

Apparently, the judges—who are also top builders—agreed, with the spectacular C10 bringing home a 2025 SEMA Young Guns overall win. Visit OnAllCylinders.com for the full scoop on this Perfect '10 and the young builder who brought it to life.
