Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Super offers all the old school
cool you could want in a classic pickup, but it also features the
dependability you'd want in a frequent driver. It's got an upgraded
power plant under its hood that pairs with a clean, well-fitted
appearance that's sure to turn heads on the asphalt or at the work
site.
This Cheyenne wears a fine looking two-tone red and white exterior
that keeps its vintage appearance very much intact. The paint shows
well even though it's been driven and has a nice, solid shine. This
venerable truck closed out the second generation of C10s, which
represented Chevy's first concerted effort at adapting what had
formerly been fairly spartan workhorses for a wider audience. When
you put it side by side with the C10s of the previous generation,
you'll find that it actually bears a stronger resemblance to the
more modern trucks that would follow it than the generation of C10s
debuting the generation before. The brightwork - as well as the
bumpers both fore and aft - are in solid shape, with nothing off
kilter or showing any serious dings or blemishes, and the front
grille looks impressively clean with a signature Chevy bowtie
positioned at its center. The diamond plate surface over the top of
the rear bumper provides a strong reminder of this pickup's rugged,
purpose-centered heritage.
The interior retains a thoroughly factory configuration and has
received the attention it's needed over the years to keep it
looking sharp. The bench seat in its center features a cover
bearing the houndstooth check pattern that was very much en vogue
in its day and combines vinyl and cloth that sits over ample
padding, so it's plenty comfortable for even the longest of trips
that would be a luxury for many classics but very much in the
wheelhouse of this one. Underneath, a clean expanse of black
carpeting punctuated with a pair of Chevy-branded floormats adds a
nice bit of contrast. This is a fresh, vital-looking interior - the
door panels to each side sit flush with woodgrain accents matching
those on the dash and every red steel surface in sight looks
well-prepped and shiny. The dash area is in good order, with a
fresh looking panel surrounding an assortment of clear gauges and a
pad showing no visible cracks or warpage. A quality audio
experience comes via an added AM/FM stereo with iPod connectivity
that teams with a pair of speakers mounted behind the seat.
Regardless of how hot the weather gets outside, you'll have no
issue staying comfortable - the air conditioning is blowing cold
and strong in this classic.
Upgraded, dependable power sits under the hood in the form of a
'90s era, throttle body injected 5.7 liter engine. It's in very
good form, starting up with no hesitation at all and pulling with
plenty of conviction as it teams with a 4-speed automatic 700r4
whose overdrive gear brings motor-sparing low RPMs at highway
speeds. An electric fan pairs with the radiator up front to keep
temperatures under control during stop and go driving, while the
added Flowmaster dual exhaust provides a deep, rumbling note. Both
power steering and power brakes with discs up front are on board,
so the navigating is easy and stops are low-effort and dependable
as this vintage Chevy rolls on its set of 15" Rallye wheels
outfitted with Futura GLS Super Sport tires.
