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 a
believed-original 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 top-of-the-line trim Cheyenne Super wears a fine looking
two-tone Dark Olive 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. Woodgrain trim lets everyone know this is a Cheyenne, and
the interior of the bed was painted green to match, and looks like
it's never hauled a thing in it's life. Talk about a handsome,
driver grade truck, they don't get much cooler than this long
bed.
The Olive Green 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 green-and-black 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 green
carpeting insulates the cab, and the headliner above completes the
look nicely. This is a warm interior - the door panels to each side
sit flush with woodgrain accents matching those on the dash and
every bright surface in sight looks well-prepped and shiny. The
dash area is in good order, with a fresh-looking woodgrain bezel
gauge panel surrounding an assortment of clear gauges and a pad
above showing no visible cracks or warpage. Remarkably, there's
still a factory push-button AM radio in place, although it's ready
for an upgrade, and just like the factory trim sticker in the glove
compartment dictates, this is a factory A/C truck. So regardless of
how hot the weather gets outside, you'll have no issue staying
comfortable - because the R134a air is blowing cold and strong in
this classic.
Part of that driving pleasure comes from the 350 cubic inch V8
fitted between the fenders. Believed to be the original block, it
has a correct 1972 performance look, complete with a Quadrajet
4-barrel carburetor atop a stock intake, a black snorkeled air
cleaner, Chevy Orange paint on the block, and a set of matching
orange valve covers. The small block sparks right up with a flick
of the key thanks to a well-maintained alternator and starter, and
the whole show is kept nice and cool by the big radiator up front.
It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic (also believed original)
and a 12-bolt rear end, so you don't have to worry about actually
putting it to work (this would be an awesome tow vehicle for your
Camaro!). The underside is typical of a vehicle that has lived
someplace warm and out of the elements, and while it's not restored
for the show circuit, it has been well maintained and drives
superbly thanks to power steering and power front disc brakes. A
pair of chambered mufflers give it a mellow exhaust note and those
painted steel wheels adorned with chrome beauty rings and Bowtie
center caps are fitted with fat 235/75/15 radials that set a great
street stance.
