Gateway Classic Cars of Denver welcomes this 1971 Chevrolet
Cheyenne C-10! This Frame off restoration does have new A/C
Compressor and New Holley Carb, and a bunch of receipts from LMC
Truck. C/K is a series of trucks that were manufactured by General
Motors. Marketed under the Chevrolet and GMC brands, the C/K series
included a wide range of vehicles. While most commonly associated
with pickup trucks, the model line also included medium-duty and
heavy trucks. "C" denoted a two-wheel drive; "K" denoted four-wheel
drive. Numerous changes occurred in 1971. First came another new
grille design (the "egg crate") for Chevrolet trucks and black
paint over portions of the GMC grille. Second, an additional trim
package was introduced: the Cheyenne. On GMC models, this was
equivalent to the Sierra. These packages consisted mostly of
comfort features - nicer interiors, more padding and insulation,
carpet, chrome trim, and upper and lower side molding and tailgate
trim. 1971 was the first year for AM/FM radios factory installed.
Finally, the front brakes on all light-duty trucks were switched
from drum brakes to disc brakes, resulting in much less brake fade
under heavy use. A divot and adjustment screw was added to the
inside of the door located above the door panel and near the vent
window. The screw provided a way to adjust the gap in the window
track. This change was made due to the window track loosening over
time. While prior C/K half-ton trucks had used a six-lug bolt
pattern (6 x 5.5") for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched
to a five-lug pattern (5 x 5-inch bolt circle) common to Buick,
Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac passenger cars. The 1/2 ton 4 x 4
retained the 6 lug bolt pattern. This bolt pattern would remain the
standard through the end of the C/K series (along with the
Chevrolet/GMC vans). The 20 and 30-series trucks had the 8 x 6.5"
pattern. Also, Chevrolet changed the 396 V8 emblem designation to
400 V8 (Source Wikipedia) Don't miss your opportunity to own a
