a custom ordered, one owner 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 �-ton
pickup truck, which has been lovingly restored by the original one
owner over a 20-year period and we can proudly say that this C20
truck is one of the nicest examples on the market today! This
truck, which rides on a 127-inch wheelbase, was built in GM's
Fremont, California assembly plant in spring 1971 and came with the

April 19, 1971 and sold to its original owner on April 30, 1971,
who was from Orem, Utah and who had put down a $100 deposit on
March 26, 1971. He owned this truck for 47 years, you can tell by
how well it presents itself today that this truck was his true
pride and joy! Dressed in factory correct White over Dark Olive
(code 564) and resprayed professionally in 2009, the truck's paint
and body side trim are in impeccable condition. Its windows are
clear and intact, all of its lights look great and are haze-free
and it has a straight and solid body. The engine bay is extremely
tidy, the battery looks newer and the chrome bumpers are in
brilliant order, including the front overriders. The cargo bed is
in very good order and the white bed cap has a section that opens
at the rear, grab bars and a center high-mounted brake light. This
truck rolls on Michelin XC LT4 tires, size LT235/85R16 at all four
corners. The rubber is in very good order and each tire surrounds

and upgraded to push 349HP! This truck truly moves! It has orange
valve covers, a blue distributor and breathes via a K&N air
cleaner and dual exhausts that were newly installed in 2017. Two

three-spoke steering wheel and rarely-seen tilt steering column,
inner door panels, dashboard and gear shift are all in excellent
order. Even the dome light still works! Completing the interior is
a factory AM radio. The instrument panel offers a full array of
gauges, including a tachometer, another rarity on a 1971 truck but
this truck was custom ordered just right! Numerous changes occurred
in 1971. First, came another new grille design (the "egg crate")
for Chevrolet trucks. Second, an additional trim package was
introduced: the Cheyenne. These packages consisted mostly of
comfort features � nicer interiors, more padding and insulation,
carpet, chrome trim and upper and lower side molding and tailgate
trim. Nineteen seventy-one was the first year forAM/FM radios

trucks were switched fromdrum brakestodisc brakes, resulting in
much less brake fade under heavy use. Documentation includes
