Vehicle Description
With its sharp exterior in great form and the fresh power sitting
under its hood sounding a great exhaust note, this 1972 Chevrolet
C10 Cheyenne will draw plenty of attention pulling up to a work
site or simply bearing the load of your weekend warrior activities.
Not only does its long bed configuration provide plenty of cargo
room, but it's also equipped with the features you'd want in a
frequent driver.
As a '72, this C10 closed out the second generation of its model,
aptly named Chevy's "Action Line". It certainly looks the part. It
wears a sharp, black and white paint scheme whose clean condition
adds an air of vitality to this classic truck. The long stretches
of trim running down its sides don't show any serious dings or
blemishes and the bumpers both fore and aft sit level and feature
clean, shiny chrome. Chevy added the distinctive "egg-crate" front
grille the year before this truck debuted, and it's looking good
here, carrying a crisp blue Chevy bowtie in its center that appears
to be freshly painted. Its other exterior fittings all present well
and the badging on all four sides - including the "Cheyenne"
emblems on its front fenders to denote its special edition status -
is also in good shape. The sliding, full-sized rear windshield is a
nice feature that offers improved air ventilation should you ever
choose to add a shell in back.
The parchment colored bench seat, door panels and headliner inside
contrast nicely with the black steel that surrounds them and you'd
have to take a very close look to find any signs of wear on their
vinyl surfaces. The stock Chevy steering wheel is in unusually
clean condition, and the dash area looks sharp with its
woodgrain-accented instrument offering an assortment of functional
and easily readable gauges as a supple, new-looking dash pad runs
the width of the cabin above. The A/C system has been upgraded with
a new compressor and upgraded R134a freon to keep you and your
passengers comfortable. There's a substantial bed area in back that
looks straight and solid, with a black liner that's performed its
protective duties well. You'll find a few scuffs that serve as the
badges of honor of real world use, but no serious signs of any
mishaps.
The power to propel this workhorse comes via a 350 cubic inch V8
crate engine. With just 6000 miles under its belt, it's just
entering its prime and carries an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb on top
and a pair of long tube headers on its sides to maximize its output
as it teams with a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission to make up
a high-functioning, low-effort drivetrain. The powerplant sits in a
very clean engine compartment surrounded by fresh hoses and belts
and neatly routed wiring. The flat black inner fenders provide a
great backdrop for the sharp looking engine components, while a
generously proportioned aluminum radiator sits at the front of the
bay to keep engine temperatures under control. Power steering makes
this classic truck easy to navigate, while power brakes at all four
corners, with discs up front, provides fade resistant stopping
power as it plies its trade on a set of 15" aluminum wheels
outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A radials. The view from below is
reassuring - after more than 45 years on the road, the
undercarriage may show some patina, as you'd expect, but its floor
pans look solid and its frame rails are straight.
Anyone looking to get behind the wheel of a great looking, highly
functioning classic pickup should put this 1972 Chevrolet C10
Cheyenne on their "must see" list. Call today!
