Though it seems unlikely, 1967-72 GM pickups are among the most popular classic vehicles today. For many years collectors and enthusiasts have overlooked trucks as a less daunting gateway to collectible automobile ownership. That is up until about 6 years ago. Today, Chevrolet and GMC trucks of the era are highly regarded in the collectible world. With many variations, superior reliability, exceedingly simple mechanics, and unassuming drivability these trucks offer entry level collectors a boundless avenue into the hobby, and established veterans’ variation in their garage. During this period Chevrolet began to offer up a different mindset then that of Ford. Chevy contemplated that sedan luxuries and truck muscularity could coexist as one. Judicious thinking thrusted Chevy to the forefront of the truck wars, and began a new era of trucks. This in mind, consider this remarkable 1971 Chevrolet C10 Custom. Laced with aforementioned history, and reformed with some modernization, this true gem is looking for a home.
