1971 Chevrolet C10 Pickup

Classic Pickups have always had a following and out of those the C10 line by Chevrolet is easily one of the most sought after. In fact, not only are there clubs out there devoted to the C10 but one of the biggest shows in the area is the C10 Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway and is dedicated to the appreciation of these pickups. They were first introduced in 1960 and this ‘71 C10 Cheyenne belongs to the second generation which is known as the “Action Line”. The body is very straight and painted in a nice Gloss Black which looks great. The original style chrome bumpers have a nice shine with zero pitting or issues. The original grill is nicely mounted in place and the Chevy bowtie emblem has been blacked out. The bed has been modified with a custom cover and a smoothed tailgate. The glass is all tinted and the rear window is a more modern style that slides open. The truck rides on a set of nice custom Bad wheels wrapped with Sumitomo Sport tires. The stance can be whatever you like as it has air ride suspension allowing you to completely adjust the height.

Under the hood is a later model LT1 fuel injected motor that runs great. It also has an updated aluminum radiator and electric fans for improved cooling. Paired with the engine is an automatic transmission that sends power back to the 12 bolt rear end with chrome differential cover. The brakes are all converted to disc and are power. It also has power steering and air conditioning making it a really comfortable truck to cruise around in. Add in the fuel injected motor and you have a cool truck with a classic look but modern reliability.

The interior has been all redone in a two tone Gray and Black. It has a unique seat set up that are almost like a bench seat split into 3 buckets. The upholstery is done in a tuck and roll style and the headliner has been redone the same way. The dash features the original style gauges mounted in a nice new chrome bezel. It has also been modified with adjustable AC/Heat vents and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/USB/Aux stereo system. Under the dash are digital controls for the air ride system.

This cool pickup was very nicely built and needs nothing but a new driver and place to call home.
