You're looking at an incredibly sharp truck finished in it's
original color - Medium Bronze Metallic! This was a farm truck
turned show stopper! The frame off restoration was completed in
2022 with the goal of having a showroom fresh C10 with a some more
horsepower and creature comforts! Behind that Iconic ""Egg-Carton""
grill is a date correct 1971 GM 350c.i. which is amplified by a
ceramic coated set of long tube headers, a Holley 4 barrel
carburetor, and Weiand Aluminum Intake Manifold! Some other
noteworthy features under the hood are Power Steering, and a Power
brake booster. (Front Disc, Rear Drum) Behind that V8 is a freshly
rebuilt TH350 Automatic Transmission backed by the original 12 Bolt
Rear End which houses a brand new Eaton Posi Trac unit with 3.08
gears! Riding on new rally wheels with Radial GT tires!
The interior of this pickup received a laundry list of new
components as well, while keeping the factory original appearance
with a re-foamed and covered bench seats with a matching headliner
and dashpad! As you look further into the cab you will notice a
3-Spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel which is fixed to the factory
column. This truck also utilizes the factory gauge cluster which
boasts a 100-mph speedometer, and an inset of auxiliary gauges. The
five-digit odometer now shows 97k miles. (2,000 miles have been
added since the restoration) The original AM radio was replaced
with a RetroSound unit giving the truck modern sound while keeping
classic styling!
Additional information about this 71' C10:
The frame was taken down to bare metal and coated with chassis
paint. The frame is straight, and without heavy pitting! Anywhere
rust was found the panel was replaced! The floorpan of the cab,
along with the cab corners and rockers are new. All cab mounts were
replaced at this time along with many other bushings/wear items.
The front and rear bumpers were replaced during restoration along
with the front inner fenders and rear wheel tubs. New windshield
and rear glass were installed. The window felts and seals were
replaced as well as the door seals and latches. Sound deadening
material was installed underneath the rubber floor liner. This
makes a world of a difference when it comes to road noise! Now for
the truck bed! The bed is entirely new metal from LMC Truck and
looks immaculate! Keep in mind when considering this pickup, these
C10's are made up of thousands of individual parts and we cannot
list them all, however a binder full of receipts are included along
with a Usb drive full of pictures from the restoration!
