1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Super

Description

Sometimes we are fortunate enough to get a truck with all the right features. This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Super not only has one of the best classic pickup designs ever, but it also comes with a long list of desirable features such as fuel injection, and overdrive, to make it a standout among vintage trucks.

Black is an easy color to love, but it can only be applied to the best vehicles because no imperfections can hide from it. This is even tougher for a pickup because they've typically spent part of their life as a workhorse. So it's worth taking a few moments to take in how amazing this shade of midnight looks on this Chevy truck. Look at the bed and think of how much work went into getting it perfect before the black was applied. With that level of care for the bed, you can only imagine how well they treated to rest of the body to get it this straight. Because this is a Cheyenne Super it comes with some extra body chrome, including the upper and lower body side accents. In fact, the lower one still wears its factory-correct 70s-cool wood strip within the brightwork, and boy does it set this truck off!

Another advantage of the Super package was an upgrade to the standard black vinyl bench. This one wears a correct OEM-style red houndstooth insert for the driver and passenger that give a sporty feeling like it was taken from a Camaro (keep this idea in mind for later.) The comforts of this pickup don't end there. This has an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo for modern tunes, and a three-spoke sports steering wheel. The original gauges have always looked attractive, especially within this custom chrome fascia, but they didn't always offer all the information you wanted. So now there's a set of aftermarket gauges underneath the dash because an upgraded motor requires more driver information.

Remember the reference to the Camaro-like interior? Well, under the hood is where this analogy comes true. The 350 cubic-inch V8 is a tuned-port fuel injection unit borrowed from a 3rd generation Camaro. This performance car powerplant is further enhanced with performance headers and Flowmaster dual exhaust that makes a wicked sound. While this truck has the heart of a sports car, it is also set up for everyday comfort. The transmission is a 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive for good cruising, especially on the highway. Power is sent from there to the stout 12-bolt rear end. This is also a power steering pickup and includes power brakes with discs up front. The final piece of this all-day useful package is a set of BF Goodrich T/A radials that provide good modern grip in all conditions.

If you're looking for a handsome, clean, and affordable vintage truck, then this Cheyenne Super will give you everything thing you want without having to sacrifice any comforts. It might look beautiful, but it can still handle the dirty work if needed. Call today!!
