Vehicle Description
With its ultra sharp exterior returned to absolute top form and
plenty of potent power standing eagerly by under its hood, this
1978 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne is a sterling representative of its
manufacturer's line of sturdy workhorses. It's only ventured 2000
miles since its restoration and offers a rock solid driving
experience to go along with its stellar curb appeal.
The precise workmanship lavished upon this C10 is obvious at first
glance. All the restoration boxes have been checked here, from the
painstaking accuracy that's led to a laser straight exterior
configuration, to the application of high impact black paint that's
in great shape, with an appealing shine and consistently smooth
texture everywhere you look. This shade is often susceptible to
showing any imperfections the exterior might be carrying, but there
are none to be worried about here. As testimony to how thorough and
precise this revitalization process was, the body panels on this
classic Chevy were painted both inside and out, and the crystal
clear glass surrounding the cabin is protected by new rubber seals
for maximum protection from the elements. The collection of chrome
worn by this truck is nice and clean - in front, the prominent
grille looms over a clean and unblemished bumper, while in back,
the signature chrome panel really pops against its dark
surroundings.
The fresh blue interior is the perfect accompaniment to what's on
display outside, with a crushed velour split bench seat with a fold
down center section that offers bucket-like support for driver and
passenger alike and is straddled by a pair of thoroughly
refurbished door panels, with an expanse of color matched carpet
below that's in very clean condition. Open and shut those doors and
you'll hear a reassuringly solid thud that's even more obvious than
you'd anticipate - the door shells are insulated for protection
from road and exterior noise, as well as improved temperature
retention. Farther forward, an assembly of digital gauges looks
right at home while illuminating the cabin. With the AM/FM/Cassette
stereo pairing with a CD changer mounted behind the driver's seat,
you'll have no shortage of audio options and a pair of aftermarket
speakers have been recessed into the doors to improve sound
quality. The air conditioning system is running in absolutely top
form - now armed with a new condenser and evaporator, it blows cold
and strong. In back, the bed area is well-protected by spray in
liner and you'll see a box near its center carrying additional
weight to maximize traction at the rear wheels.
Ample eager power comes via a 350 cubic inch crate engine that's
been equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and a 4 barrel carb
to maximize its output as it sits in an orderly compartment
surrounded by hoses and belts that were just recently replaced. The
engine is pulling strong and sounding great, exhaling into a pair
of Hedman headers leading to its aftermarket dual exhaust as it
teams with a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission.
In the interest of increased dependability, the gas tank was also
thoroughly cleaned and coated with POR-15 for optimum corrosion
protection. Smooth power steering makes this pickup easy to
maneuver, while power brakes that feature discs up front bring it
to dependable, prompt stops as it rolls on its set of 15" custom
chrome wheels with spinner centers that are wrapped with Pathfinder
HT tires.
Benefitting from a thorough restoration and running strong, this
1978 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne would be the perfect acquisition for
the truck enthusiast who prizes a combination of vintage appeal and
reassuringly solid drivability. Call today!
