1972 Chevrolet C10

Description

Sometimes the right machine comes along that you know you love for work AND play. This 1972 Chevrolet C10 has the function of a long bed truck, the comfort of an A/C interior, and plenty of V8 growl. Best of all, it's wrapped around a shimmering example of classic two-tone.

Admit it, you're digging how this truck looks, aren't you? This cool shade of Medium Olive isn't outrageously wild like those candy purple or electric blue paint jobs other builders try to pull off. Instead, the two-tone green and white has all the right premium pickup looks from the era. But this factory-correct color combo has also been recently reapplied for a little extra metallic flair. So it fits in with the old-school truck scene, right down to the wood paneling in the trim. And it also really pops in the sunlight and catches the neon lights perfectly when you're out cruising on a Saturday night. Plus, mirror-like bumpers and a tonneau cover create one stylish machine. But as you've noticed, this is a long bed pickup. That means it can carry the larger loads and do more chores. So underneath the folding cover is a spray-in liner. Now your weekends with this C10 can be spent at the hardware store AND showing off at car shows.

Just like the exterior, the interior appears quite correct, but has some subtle upgrades. For example, the shining exterior green returns on the dash and tops of the doors. But now it's joined by a black bench and door panels that both have the cool classic Western-style pattern embossed in them that the premium Chevy trucks received during this era. The classic Chevy dual-spoke steering wheel feels good in your hands, and it gives you a clear view to all the gauges. And as you look across the dash, you're going to spot great feature you'll always want, like the upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner and factory air conditioning that's blowing cold.

The period-correct with upgrades feeling continues under the hood. This is a 350 cubic-inch block that decodes to the correct era. It not only looks great with the bright block color, but there a bunch of shiny upgrades, including the valve covers, alternator, air topper, and inner fenders. And beyond just flair, the hoses, wires, and belts all have the look of continuous proper maintenance. But what you'll like best is that this V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as the long tube headers feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Out on the road, this pickup has all the right features, like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension.

This is a really nice truck that doesn't cut any corners - you even get the original owner's manual. It has the chiseled good looks of a classic bow tie with plenty of muscle to back it up. If there's one thing we have learned, people like quality, and this affordable classic doesn't disappoint. Call today!!!
