Vehicle Description
Chevy got everything right with their redesigned 1967 pickups, and
this slammed 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is a fine example. Powerful,
handsome, and ready to work or play, it's proof that the market for
clean classic pickups remains strong.
Finished in basic black (always a favorite on any Chevrolet), this
C10 offers a formal color combination that you don't often see on
vehicles of this vintage and looks awesome anywhere it goes.
Bodywork is quite good, and it's obvious that this truck did not
need any major surgery prior to paint, especially hailing from the
warm, dry southern US. The finish has a lot of patina, much of
which is intentional, so there's a cool mix of casual and
sophisticated going on. It also appears that this truck never
worked for a living, with a bed that's in incredible condition
thanks to nicely preserved oak planks and chrome rub strips that
only enhance the vintage vibe. There's plenty of trim to make it
sparkle, including the mirrors, door handles, window trim, and
bumpers, and the original grille is in fantastic condition. Despite
a few signs of use, this truck shines up nicely and has an awesome
stance that really grabs your attention.
Black vinyl upholstery gives the interior an upscale, almost formal
look, and the thoroughness of the restoration is evident in the
painted door panels, which match the bodywork. The bench seat is
firm and comfortable for three, offering that tooled detailing on
the seat cover that was pure 1970s funky. A heavy-duty mat covers
the floor, so no worries about getting the carpet dirty, and the
dash has all the original gauges intact and operational, with
minimal fading. The original thin-rimmed steering wheel is showing
its age and is probably due for an upgrade and yes, you're seeing
it correctly, that's under-dash A/C which still blows cold. An
AM/FM radio lives in the dash, making this is the kind of truck
where you can slide inside and feel instantly at home.
The 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood is a potent, torquey mill that
moves the pickup with the authority of a muscle car and as a small
block Chevy, it looks right in the vintage pickup. Nestled into a
very clean engine bay, it looks crisp with black details that match
the truck's personality. It's not radical, running an Edelbrock
4-barrel carburetor, a mild cam, and cast iron exhaust manifolds,
but there is a great-sounding dual exhaust system with side exits
that sound great. Power steering and power brakes are included,
making this truck incredibly easy to handle, and the A/C has been
converted to R134a refrigerant for easy maintenance. The TH350
3-speed automatic transmission feeds a rugged 12-bolt rear end,
which highlights a very clean undercarriage that includes stain
black paint, shiny exhaust pipes, and new shocks. 20-inch wheels
look awesome and totally fill the fenders thanks to the
dramatically lowered suspension.
