Vehicle Description
This 1971 GMC C10 is an intoxicating mix of vintage and new. It's a
one-family owned pickup, but there have been some major investments
along the way. That's how you get bright and clean machine that
even has cold-blowing A/C.
Bold okra yellow, a clean white roof, and even brighter
chrome...that's truly a lasting first impression. But also take
some time to appreciate the details of this one. For example, the
reason why a modern clearcoat application looks so good on this
pickup is because it has some timeless curves. The squared-off hood
melts into a rounded fender line that runs the full profile of this
pickup. And you see this so well because there has been a solid
investment in this truck to erase any workman roots. Heightening
its attractiveness is plenty of mirror-like brightwork on the
grille, bumpers, and even the upgraded alloys with an aggressive
18/20 inch front/rear stance. The reason why this truck looks so
well preserved and updates is because it's a one-family owned
machine. When the latest generation got ahold of the truck about a
dozen years ago, they gave it a full custom treatment that did
everything from expertly deleted the trim to convert it to a more
desirable short bed model. It was reported that there was over $75k
invested in this pickup, and the quality really shows.
Inside is more of that vintage style mixed with modern appeal. We
love the fresh investment in the attractive saddle tan seat that's
now finished in a supple leather. It has the classic/premium
embossed western-style pattern, and the door panels are done to
match. Plush carpeting, a smooth dash pad, and plenty of the
exterior yellow on the metal components complete the classic truck
look. What you'll also love are all the right well-integrated
upgrades. This includes an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input and
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And the custom chrome steering
wheel gives you a nice view of the full gauge package, including
tach.
The engine bay has proper GM 350 cubic-inch V8 power. You can tell
there were more big investments under the hood simply because no
truck celebrating nearly half a century should look this tidy and
fresh all on its own. Everything appears stock from the bold color
of the block, to the four-barrel carburetor. So it should be no
surprise that this V8 fires up eagerly. But what may first surprise
you is how this has a touch of added attitude that tells you there
are some more aggressive internals. The whole undercarriage is
clean, right down to the newer shocks, and so this one rides with
confidence going down the road. Plus, the power steering, power
brakes w/front discs, and grippy/modern Toyo tires keep it a great
cruiser.
This GMC has been given all the right investments to be the truck
you've always wanted. And since it's turn-key ready today, you need
to call now!
