Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is the kind of vehicle that gets
attention without being obvious about it. Maybe it's the great
classic lines, or maybe it's the extra gloss in the paint, or maybe
the sporty stance - no matter what first catches your eye, you can
tell that underneath the investments, this classic is still a real
truck.
The Dark Olive Green isn't outrageously wild like those candy
purple or electric blue paint jobs other classics have received.
Instead, it takes an ideal '70s color and adds a hit of
nostalgia-like flair with a hint of metallic and the clearcoat glow
that comes from a more modern application. So this one fits in with
the old-school truck scene, and it also really pops in the
sunlight. Nice chrome bumpers, a lowered stance and the modern
Ridler wheels (aggressively staggered at 17/18-inches front/rear)
offer a street machine attitude. But the wide trailering mirrors
and full liner paint in the bed remind you that a good truck needs
to know how to get the job done, too.
Inside, the green is joined by a tasteful black. You have some nice
upgrades like the newer cover on the bench seat made of comfortable
cloth. But what will really have you hooked are all the classic
elements. This one retains cool pieces like the textured door panel
inserts, heat/defrost sliders, and even correct AM radio is still
on display. Plus, the skinny dual spoke factory wheel makes sure
nothing get in the way of your view of the full gauge panel or the
road ahead.
The 350 cubic-inch small-block V8 looks terrific as the fresh block
paint radiates from within the dark engine bay. Plus, the wires,
belts, hoses, and other components look fresh - exactly the kind of
maintenance you want in a classic pickup. And this V8 is powerful,
too. It has a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, Weiand hi-rise
aluminum intake, and headers that feed the sweet-sounding dual
exhaust. Out on the road, this one has the right driving features
you want, including the three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of modern street tires.
Plus, with a thick sway bar up front and the C10's desirable
trailing arm suspension in the rear, this makes for quite a
comfortable all-day cruiser.
This is a really nice truck that doesn't cut any corners - you even
get the original owner's manual. It has the chiseled good looks of
a classic bow tie with plenty of muscle to back it up. If there's
one thing we have learned, people like quality, and this one
doesn't disappoint. Call today!!!
