Cruisin Classics is proud to present this absolutely stunning 1971
Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside. This "Action Line" truck is dressed in a
very slick coat of black paint (in high driver quality condition)
that was just ceramic-coated - giving it a gorgeous lasting shine.
Up front is a very cool aftermarket bright horizontal bar grille
flanked by round headlights in square bezels. Beneath is a gleaming
chrome bumper with integrated turn signals. As you move around the
truck, more high-quality brightwork appears, and it really pops
against the black paint - including wiper arms, "C/10" fender
badging, vent window trim, door handles, and dual side mirrors. The
lowered stance of this C-10 works perfectly with its 20" black
10-spoke Ridler wheels with polished rings. The Ridlers are wrapped
with Bridgestone Alenza tires up front and with Nexen Roadian HP's
in the rear. Red calipers peek out from behind the front wheels,
adding both to the look and the braking power. Around back, you'll
find a spray-lined black bed with a relocated gas fill on the
floor, a blacked-out tailgate with indented "CHEVROLET" lettering,
and another bright chrome bumper. The undercarriage is
exceptionally clean and features a newer gas tank and a custom
H-pipe dual exhaust system that sounds fantastic.
When you lift the hood of this Chevy, prepare to be impressed!
Sitting in the center of the immaculately clean engine bay is a
freshly painted 383ci V8 that's been outfitted with all the bells &
whistles that you'd expect to see with such a quality build. The
bright red block is topped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake,
an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, and a chrome Edelbrock air
cleaner. The block is fronted with chromed pulleys that service a
chrome alternator (with chrome bracket), a brand new chrome A/C
compressor, and power steering. Chrome valve covers add a little
more bling to top it off. The radiator is a newer 3-core aluminum
unit that's kept cool with dual electric fans. The hearty V-8 is
mated up to a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission that
sends power to the rear via a 12-bolt rear axle with open gears.
Stopping power comes courtesy of power front discs and rear drums.
Exhaust flows through Hooker headers and a custom H-pipe set up
with newer mufflers before dumping just past the axle with a
classic throaty sound. The truck came to us with a folder of
receipts and two handwritten pages outlining extensive restoration
work (but, they do not list a shop name, date, or billing for the
work - merely that it was 325 hours of work). According to those
pages, both the engine and transmission were rebuilt, a shift kit
was added, the water pump and timing chain were replaced, and a
plethora of other work was done.
It should come as no surprise that the interior of this C-10 is
done to the same high level as the exterior and engine bay. When
you open the door you're greeted by a jaw-droppingly nice black
interior with red accents. The black plastic door cards offer
armrests and crank windows as well as a red and chrome trim piece.
A bright sill plate welcomes you inside for a cruise. The
comfortable bench seat is covered in black vinyl with red
houndstooth cloth inserts, and it's outfitted with seatbelts for
three. Ahead of the driver is a later-model Chevrolet 4-spoke
steering wheel with a working horn on a tilt column. On the column
is the shifter for the 4-speed automatic with a correct OD
indicator. The black steel dash ahead is topped with a red vinyl
dashpad that helps tie all the color accents inside together. The
gauge cluster appears to be a stock C-10 unit equipped with round
gauges for fuel, battery, temp, and oil pressure (inop.) as well as
a 100mph speedometer. The odometer reads 65,913 miles, and the
title confirms those as actual. Also on the gauge bezel are
controls for the lights and working wipers. Mounted under the dash
just to the right of the driver is a trio of Autogage gauges (oil,
volts, water) that allow a more exacting status report from under
the hood. In the center of the dash is a new Custom Autosound
AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo that plays your favorite tunes through 4
speakers mounted on the back cab wall behind the seat. Beneath the
stereo are controls for the brand new Vintage Air system that
delivers ice-cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan. Ahead of the
passenger is a very shallow glovebox (due to the HVAC venting
behind) that has an aux input for the stereo as well as a stereo
instruction booklet. Overhead is a plain steel roof, two red
visors, and a white cab light. Underfoot is fresh black carpet with
dark grey carpeted floor mats. If you turn the light switch to the
left to illuminate the cab interior, red lights come on under the
dash - a cool touch! Included with the truck is the aforementioned
folder of receipts that also contains a copy of the title from 2010
when the truck was in Oklahoma (receipts seem to indicate it may
have been in Iowa next).
If you're looking for a classic C-10 or just a cool vintage truck,
this '71 Chevy is surely going to grab your attention! This C-10
really checks the boxes - super-slick paint, nice brightwork,
spray-lined bed, powerful V-8, overdrive transmission, power
steering, power front disc brakes, cold A/C, stunning interior, and
an awesome sound system! C-10's of this generation are a hot
commodity these days, especially when built to this level, so don't
linger - call our friendly staff today and be the lucky one to put
this beauty in your garage!
