Vehicle Description
1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup
To compete directly with the Ford F-series and the Dodge D-series,
Chevrolet introduced their C/K series of pickups. They were
produced from 1960 to 2002 and were marketed under both Chevrolet
and GMC. While mostly being Pickups they also served as the base of
the full size SUV line. The second generation starting in 1967 was
known as the "Action Line" version due to Chevrolet wanting to have
a more utilitarian vehicle for work and farm use while also
incorporating optional comfort features like automatic
transmissions, radios, and carpeting. They retained the same drop
center ladder frame of the previous generation but were completely
redesign from the ground up with an entirely new look to improve
its capability as a multi use vehicle. This proved to be an
extremely popular run for Chevrolet among classic car/truck
enthusiasts and their desirability continues to grow even more in
recent years. They looked pretty similar for the first part of the
generation but in 1971 there was a mid year revision with the new
egg crate grill as well as some other upgraded features. This 1972
was the last year for the second generation so received all the
upgrades incorporated throughout their run. This beautiful C10 is
in great condition and was frame off restored in 2013 by AJ Stewart
and TD's Automotive in Texas. The result is a great looking classic
pickup truck that is very solid and a great driver. Only Chevrolet
products were used throughout its construction and all were either
brand new or rebuilt. The stepside body rust free and straight. It
was repainted in a very beautiful PPG #3989 Dark Garnet Red that is
in great condition. The color was original put on late 50's
Cadillacs and really suits the truck nicely. The original chrome
bumpers have a great shine as does the side mirrors, trim, etc. The
glass is all in good shape and the rear window is the type that
slides open. One of the coolest feature we love on any vintage
pickup is the wood bed and this one was all redone. It also comes
with a set of custom made wood side slats with American Flag air
brushing. They are not shown in place on the pictures but it does
have them for both sides. The 15 inch American Racing wheels with
Silver centers look good on it and have Coker redline tires.

Under the cowl induction hood sits a fresh crate 350 V8 motor. It
has approximately 2,600 miles on it since the restoration was
completed. It is fitted with an Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor,
blacked out valve covers, and an Edelbrock air cleaner. There
aren't any heating issues and it has a new 4 core radiator. The
truck sounds excellent with a new cat-back dual exhaust system. The
Turbo 350 automatic transmission has been rebuilt and shifts
smoothly. It sends power back to the 12 bolt rear end. The brakes
on the car have all been redone with new discs up front and a new
CPP master cylinder with brake booster. The suspension has also
been completely rebuilt and the truck lowered 2 inches in front and
2.5 inches in rear. That along with features like power steering,
power brakes and Old Air AC make it a very comfortable truck to
drive. When the AC was installed it was a modern system using R134a
making it easy to service and recharge as needed.
The interior of the truck was redone by Northside Upholstery in
Fort Worth, TX. It features Black carpeting and Burgundy cloth
upholstery on the split bench seat, door panels, and headliner.
Three point seat belts were added for driver and passenger for
additional safety. The dash is painted to match the body and topped
with a Black dash pad. It has a mostly original layout with a
working AM/FM radio and all stock style working gauges. Other nice
features include power windows and power door locks which are all
functioning properly.
This is a very well done truck and being fully restored it is ready
for a new home. Just after completion the pickup passed a National
Street Rod Associate Inspection with flying colors. That insures
that it was set up to be road worthy and everything is working.
This is an opportunity to take advantage of someone else's hard
work, labor, dollars, and time investment because you couldn't redo
another one for this asking price.
Take it home for $34,500.00!
