Vehicle Description
Want a vintage truck with the best in modern power? How about a
1972 Chevrolet K-10 4x4 with a 7.3-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel
under the hood? And more than just great power, the full
restoration, including lifted suspension and A/C interior, means
this is the classic pickup that will leave you wanting for
nothing.
A nice long bed K-10 will always catch your eye, but you also
instantly know there's something more going on here. Your first
glance at this paint makes you think this is cool classic 4x4. But
then you see the straightness of the sheetmetal and the metallic
shine on the olive paint. It signals your brain to go in for a
closer look because this one has had a serious investment. Then
you'll pick up on details like the mirror-like chrome bumpers and
16-inch Centerline wheels that are just as shiny. You start to
notice that the step rails match the freshly painted frame... and
then you also realize you can see the frame details because this is
a mean 4x4 with a lifted stance.
Inside the green theme continues, and now it's joined by some great
tan brown details. It starts with the distressed-style leather seat
that looks so comfortable it's like they stole it from a cowboy's
living room. This coordinates nicely with the carpeting and
original-style textured door panels. The three-spoke steering wheel
is an obvious nod to Chevy's performance roots, and that sporty
feeling continues with the full Classic Instruments gauge panel,
including a large tach. People won't be able to resist a ride in
your pickup, so to keep everyone happy there are features like the
AM/FM stereo with iPod input and ice-cold air conditioning.
Under the hood is the best upgrades of them all. This is a modern
fuel-injected 7.3-liter turbo diesel V8 powerhouse. You don't often
see a Ford engine (ok, really Navistar) in a Chevy, so it's already
going to attract plenty of attention even before you show off the
details like the piping that's painted to match the exterior. Plus,
that unmistakable exhaust note instantly let's everyone know you
have something special. This motor is used for industrial duty in
other application, so we know it has some of you already imagining
this classic nearly limitless potential. And as you look through
the undercarriage photos, you'll see a solid investment in the 4x4
suspension with Fox components and a six-inch lift. Then again,
with the level of detail in the chassis against the green body and
less than 2,300 miles on the whole build, you might just want this
truck to win awards. But even if use this one for the long haul,
features like the overdrive transmission and front disc brakes keep
it a confident cruiser.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and restoration photos,
because after all, people are going to want to know all they can
about this very unique diesel pickup. But something this unique
doesn't wait for long. Don't miss out, call today!
