1971 Chevy C10 Custom Stepside - 350 V8, Auto, RWD, PS/PB, 2/4?
Drop, New Paint, Wood Bed, Very Fun to Drive! 1971 Chevy C10 Custom
Stepside - 1967 was the initial year that Chevrolet Motor Division
and GM Truck and Bus Division agreed to split platform production.
The former would make all light trucks, with GMCs essentially
becoming rebadged Chevrolets, while GMC would build all larger
trucks, supplying Chevy with rebadged units. As such, while the
all-new 1967 GMC pickups shared the same chassis and sheet metal as
Chevrolet, it was available with a GMC unique engine, the 305 cid
V-6. This was in addition to GMC now also using Chevrolet's sixes
and V-8s. GMC's trim lines also paralleled Chevy. From 1967 through
1971, they ranged from the basic Deluxe up to the Custom and the
Super Custom at the top end. Changing for 1972, they then went from
Custom, Super Custom, Sierra, to a new premium Sierra Grande which
matched up with the Cheyenne Super. While GMC also used the C (two
wheel drive) and K (four wheel drive) model designators, they
differed from Chevrolet in that they used four digit numbers for
the weight range. This was partially due to coordinating with their
medium and heavy-duty trucks that were already using four digit
model codes. As such, half-tons were 1500s, three-quarter tons were
2500s, and one-tons were 3500. It is widely known that the
1970-1972 C10s are the most popular and most rapidly appreciating
classic trucks on the market. But, Chevy/GMC stamped out thousands
of these trucks and over the last 50 or so years, many have been
altered beyond any resemblance of how they looked when new. This
awesome C10 not only carries on the traditional overall looks from
the era but adds the basic upgrades needed to be a very fun driver.
The Maroon paint and wood bed are brand new and really sets this
truck apart from the crowd! This C10 also received new brakes and a
recent 2/4? drop for improved stance and drivability.
