1972 Chevrolet C10

Description

This 1972 Chevy C10 perfectly blends the classic pickup looks with modern touches inside and out. Of course, it doesn't hurt that there is a monster big block motor just waiting to be unleashed.

Only the right truck can wear turquoise. It's a confidence color that draws attention with its electricity. For a color like this to be on a pickup, the body needs to be as straight as this one, because imperfections from this recent respray have no place to hide - a rare find on vehicles that were intended as workhorses. From the shiny bumpers, to the delicate trim, to the bold grille, all of this brightwork gives this C10 an upscale look. No body modifications, no cowl hood, and no questionable graphics... just a solid, straight great old pickup, in a great color combination. But there is one piece really hints at another purpose. The five-spoke American Racing sport wheels with aggressive Cooper tires suggest that light paint was needed to hide this Chevy's tough side.

Inside some of this truck's performance nature starts to show a bit more. Beyond the classic sports steering wheel that looks fresh out of a Camaro SS, the plastic gauge panel has been replaced with a new aluminum unit. It houses the full AutoMeter gauge package that includes a large speedometer and tachometer, as well as readouts for the oil, water, and battery. Even if this is a driver's pickup, the passengers get a recently restored comfortable black vinyl bench seat, and everyone can listen to plenty of modern tunes on the AM/FM/CD stereo. But the feature you really want to know about is the one that makes the nice rumble when you turn the key.

Yes...that's a 454 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. If big block power wasn't already enough, this one was rebuilt with plenty of upgrades such as a performance air cleaner, Edelbrock intake, chrome valve covers, and Hooker headers. It feeds a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, so you know that no one mistakes this for a small block motor as you go thundering by in the left lane. In fact, when this pickup is not eating muscle cars on Saturday nights, this C10 is a really good all-day cruiser. It has an automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, and trailing arm suspension in the rear.

Quick, stylish, and a tad incognito – this Chevy is one great pickup. And we never even had to mention how this affordable classic has all the right tools to still go to work after its recent restoration. Call today!!
