Vehicle Description
There's an awful lot to love in this 1971 Chevrolet C10 CST pickup,
including the great color combination, serious big block power, and
upgraded AC interior. If you've been searching for a do-it-all
weekend warrior, this affordable custom should be your leading
candidate.
This truck really has the look of a lot of quality investments. The
glossy medium blue metallic paint looks quite nice in the sunshine.
Plus, the white roof has an extra hint of premium with its two-tone
appearance. A bright front bumper, smoothie wheel, and straight
full-length trim give this the look of an impressive vintage
pickup. There are even cool detail upgrades like the crystal-clear
headlights, bow tie marker lights, and blue-dot taillights. And we
all know people will be talking about those Chevy bow tie exhaust
tips for a while. But even with all these great style features,
this is still a true pickup at its heart. That's why there's a
useful long bed beneath the hinged tonneau cover (of course, it
shines like its working days are over.) Plus, the proper tow hitch
and wide trailing mirrors mean a trailer can do the real dirty
work.
The exterior blue returns inside on the metal pieces and now its
joined by a well-done black for the seats, door panels, carpeting,
and dash pad. It has a classic look, but there are also
well-integrated handy upgrades. For example, the radio still has
the classic knob-style appearance, but it's an AM/FM digital tuner
w/cassette. The air conditioning looks like the factory setup, but
now it's running on modern R134a refrigerant. So it blows cold
today and will be easy to service and keep cold in the future. You
have a grippy sports steering wheel, and it's mounted on a tilt
column. That gives you a clear view to the full gauge package with
Bosch tach now mounted in the center. And the addition of cleanly
mounted auxiliary readouts under the dash are another indication of
something special under the hood even before you start this up and
hear it roar.
These pickups are great because a big block fits so nicely in the
engine bay. It's a period correct 402 cubic-inch V8 that has been
upgraded for serious power. It now includes Edelbrock Performer
aluminum heads, a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor,
ProComp intake, and Hedman headers that feed a throaty X-pipe dual
exhaust. The fundamentals like the belts, hoses, and wires show
this has been given good care, and the way the big V8 fires up
reaffirms this quality. The TH400 three-speed transmission is good
for its stout construction and easy automatic shifting, and this
feeds a proper 12-bolt rear end. So it's not only powerful, but
easy to drive, too. That's why you also have power steering, power
brakes with front discs, wide Cooper Cobra tires, and the C10
desirable trilling arm rear suspension.
This is a powerful pickup that's also an attractive Sunday driver.
So at this affordable price, you know this will be a deal that's
moving fast. Call today!!!
