An exacting frame-off restoration performed a while back not only
left this 1971 GMC C10 with top-tier curb appeal, but also with
some quality mechanical upgrades to maximize its next lucky owner's
experience behind the wheel. It has been well-cared for and lightly
driven ever since, leaving it in top-notch condition. Its short bed
configuration, installed seamlessly during that process, gives it a
stout, robust appearance, and the slick, shiny okra-colored paint
it wears, complemented by contrasting white paint surrounding its
cabin, is a fitting match for this classic truck. It's got a great
stance that's low enough to serve notice that some skilled
aftermarket wizardry has been added to the mix, but without going
so overboard as to render it without enough ground clearance to
handle everyday road conditions.
The accompanying tobacco vinyl interior makes for a comfortable
driving environment, featuring a bench seat and door panels that
show very little wear, a nice by-product of this C10's light usage
over the years. The headliner still fits snugly, and the carpeting
below is in unusually clean condition. The level of functionality
you'll find inside these doors is impressive. The factory gauges
are all in good working order, displaying their readings through
crystal clear lenses in the instrument cluster, and the factory air
conditioning system blows cold and strong after being retrofitted
to accommodate modern R134 refrigerant. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD player
with Bluetooth connectivity and an auxiliary port has also been
added to the mix, combining with a pair of kick panel speakers and
powered by both a sub-amplifier and amplifier mounted behind the
seat to provide a quality audio experience.
Raise the hood and you'll be greeted by a very well-maintained
engine bay, at the center of which resides a 350-cubic-inch V8
that's fed by a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system. The
engine is running in top form, firing right up, idling smoothly,
and pulling strong. An added mild aftermarket cam gives it some
added vitality without disrupting its vacuum and the pair of
Flowmaster mufflers now in place at the rear add a nice, deep
resonant exhaust note that you'll appreciate with just a tap on the
accelerator.
