For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet C10 in Ft Worth, Texas

Chevrolet trucks produced between 1967 and 1972 are extremely popular with truck enthusiasts and one look at this clean truck explains why. Chevy made many different versions of these trucks, but most sought after today is the model featured here: the 1971 Chevrolet C/10 Fleetside short bed. Never abused or heavily altered, this classic C/10 is mostly stock in appearance with upgrades done in just the right areas to create a great looking truck that is still practical and enjoyable to drive.

Subject of a frame-off restoration, the paint and trim on this classic Chevy C/10 look great, starting with the turquoise paint that has a high-gloss, but with a patinaed finish full of character and accented with a white painted roof. Bright chrome plated bumpers front and rear, as well some carefully placed old school pinstriping compliment the paint color beautifully. Lowered with CCP spindles and rear coil springs and blocks, it also has a relocated track bar for stability and smoother cruising. Completing the clean look of this classic are a set of five-spoke mag wheels staggered with tires 245/55R18 front and rear 275/55R20 for perfect stance.

The beautifully restored interior features red colored reproduction upholstery with matching CST western-style door panels, removable red armrest with cup holders, Ididit tilt steering column with red-rimmed custom polished banjo-style steering wheel, red carpet and rubber floormats with flames. The matching turquoise painted dash has custom installed, white-faced Dolphin gauges and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD player with AUX port. A quality Old Air air conditioning system charged with R134a keeps the cabin cool on hot days.

Under the hood is a healthy 454 big block crate engine mated to a TH400 automatic transmission. Some of the quality mechanical upgrades include polished Pro Comp aluminum intake manifold topped with a QuickFuel carburetor, finned aluminum valve covers and matching air cleaner, dual exhaust, a rebuilt 12-bolt rear end with 3:73 gears, power steering and power brakes with discs up front. The engine bay is clean, simple and easy to work on and service. A set of photos come with the truck that document the restoration.
