Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet K-10 Super Cheyenne is a proud member of the
second generation of the K-series that held court as Chevy's rugged
full-size, four-wheel drive offering for nearly 40 years, and has
plenty of classic curb appeal and off-road surefootedness to go
along with its powerful drivetrain and strong running
condition.
Having had the good fortune to spend its winters sheltered in a
garage and its summers out of reach of the damaging rays of the
sun, this K-10 features a sharp orange and white paint job that's
retained its vitality, looking great with its long stretches of
side trim that separate the two colors. After more than 45 years of
service, its body alignment is very much on point - you'll notice
the even gaps surrounding the doors on all four sides, as well as
just how level those stretches of trim are as they transition from
front fender to door to bed area. The chrome throughout shows no
major issues, and sits securely in place, and its badging -
especially those denoting its special "Cheyenne" status on its
sides - looks particularly sharp. A few well-executed modifications
give this K-10 some added custom cachet, including the aggressive
scoop rising up from its hood, a front grille where the deletion of
the customary bowtie allows the surrounding chrome to pop all that
much more, and the narrowed position of the tailpipes as they
protrude just the right amount in back.
A very fresh and tastefully colorful interior sits inside the
doors. The well-padded cloth bench seat at its center was just
recently restored, and is surrounded by well-prepped steel and nice
finishes everywhere you look. The shift lever to put this classic
truck into 4-wheel drive mode is within comfortable reach just in
front. This pickup's "Cheyenne" designation afforded it a more
luxurious interior than its lesser counterparts, and the touches
you'll find here add an effectively fresh take to that status. Just
beyond the contrasting steering wheel with a Chevy bowtie in its
center is a great looking chrome instrument cluster that now
carries a full complement of white faced AutoMeter Phantom gauges,
while just to the right, you'll find a Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo
ready to cater to your audio needs. Above, a new black headliner
sits securely in place. The snap-on bed cover is in nice condition
to protect any contents stowed underneath and, if you lift it up,
you'll find the bed lining on this Chevy has done its job well, as
there's no sign of any notable damage in back.
A 402 cubic inch V8 lies in the very clean engine bay to provide
all the power needed to propel this truck forward with authority.
Outfitted with a custom air cleaner, and a host of upgraded
Edelbrock components that include its intake manifold, carb, fuel
pump and water pump, the powerplant is in optimal form, idling very
smoothly and producing just the right exhaust note out of its long
tube headers. The 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission sitting just
behind it shifts with plenty of precision, and with power steering
and power front disc brakes, the street manners you'd look for in
everyday driving conditions are present and accounted for. Should
you yearn to stray from the asphalt into more rugged territory,
this K-10's ample tire clearance combines with easily enlisted 4x4
capability to make for a surefooted off-road performer. Look below
and you'll see that the undercarriage is reassuringly straight and
solid.
With its classic charm, rugged demeanor and outstanding
capabilities both on and off the asphalt, this 1972 Chevrolet K-10
Super Cheyenne is a rare find. Call today!
