Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 4x4 cuts an absolutely awesome appearance -
aggressive enough to prompt fellow motorists to give it a wide
berth and yet so well-detailed and put together they won't be able
to look away from it as they do.
The early Chevy C10 stepsides were awesome- looking trucks to begin
with, with their relatively short beds and wide stance giving them
a stout, pitbull like appearance, and the medium blue metallic
paint this '71 wears really does it justice. It's a really killer
shade - magnetic, yet almost understated- and it equips this rugged
truck with so much curb appeal you find yourself turning back
around just one more time to get another look. A nicely-shaped,
functional scoop sits on the hood to feed cold, dense air to the
waiting engine below, and the contrasting black push bar up front
and black lettering on the liftgate are great touches. Any
encounters it's had with rough land haven't even begun to extract
their toll - it remains very well-aligned and its collection of
fresh trim adds to its vitality. With its muscular build, elevated
stance and ultra-aggressive rubber at all four corners, it not only
looks like it could defeat any obstacle in front of it, but also
pound it into submission in the process if need be.
A lot of thought and work went into making the interior equal parts
functional and eye-catching- it's a great environment from which to
navigate this outstanding pickup. A pair of very comfortable, black
vinyl buckets sit in place of the more common bench seat, and they
straddle a matching center console that offers a lot of interior
storage space and convenient cupholders. Just beyond the woodgrain
steering wheel sitting on a CPP tilt column, the dash area features
a stock cluster brought to top form and a show-stopping chrome
glove box that bracket a retro-style AM/FM stereo with auxiliary
ports that will broaden your audio options. Below there's an
expanse of clean black carpeting, punctuated by a pair of
diamond-pattern floor mats, and a B&M shifter sits within easy
reach. The bed area in back is arrow straight on all sides, and its
spray on Rhino liner has done its job to protect it from any scuffs
or mishaps from shifting cargo.
This classic pickup is about as loaded for action as any you're
likely to find, and a great assembly of top tier components give it
the power to morph from a well-behaved frequent driver while on the
asphalt to an absolute predator on more rugged terrain. A 350 cubic
inch V8 sits under the hood, armed with Edelbrock aluminum heads
and Edelbrock 4-barrel carb for plenty of power, and a roster of
chrome components on hand to take the look of the engine
compartment to a high level. The powerplant pairs with a versatile
4-speed 700r4 that's well-geared for both low-end acceleration and
engine-sparing low revs at highway speeds and sounds great as it
exhales out of its Flowmaster exhaust. With a Pro Comp lift kit
providing outstanding ground clearance and a Dana axle up front to
increase offroad durability, an easy flick of the 4-wheel drive
lever empowers this beast to tackle anything in its path. Yet, when
back on the pavement, its 4-wheel disc brakes and smooth power
steering provide this Chevy with good road manners as it steamrolls
on its 18" KMC Rochester wheels outfitted with Toyo M/T Open
Country tires.
You don't often come across the combination of sheer visual impact
and versatile drivability offered by this 1971 Chevrolet C10 4x4.
