1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Fathom Green Two-Tone, 350 V8, Custom
Build Why This Car Is Special The 19671972 Chevrolet C10 is one of
the most sought-after classic trucks in the hobby today, and for
good reason. Collectors and enthusiasts commonly refer to this
generation as the Action Line or simply the second-generation C/K
trucks. Chevrolet introduced this body style in 1967 with a wider
cab, larger glass area, and a much more car-like feel than the
trucks that came before it. By 1971, Chevrolet had refined the
formula further, adding a new egg-crate grille design and improving
interior quality across the trim levels. The Cheyenne trim,
introduced for 1971, was the top of the C10 lineup. It brought
wood-grain interior accents, additional sound deadening, full
carpeting, chrome interior door handles, and exterior Cheyenne
badging that set it apart from the base Custom and CST models below
it. Chevrolet positioned the Cheyenne to compete directly with
Fords Ranger trim on the F-100 the truck wars of the early 1970s
were in full swing, and both companies were discovering that buyers
wanted comfort alongside capability. This particular 1971 Chevrolet
C10 Cheyenne has been built on that strong factory foundation and
taken several steps further, resulting in a truck that drives well,
presents exceptionally, and needs nothing to be enjoyed. The
exterior color is Fathom Green over White, a two-tone combination
that suits the C10s clean lines without being subtle about it.
Fathom Green was a factory GM color during this era a deep, rich
green with just enough brightness to stand out in sunlight and it
pairs naturally with the white lower body on this truck. The
overall effect is period-correct in spirit while looking sharper
than most factory builds ever did. Features List - 350ci Small

Block V8, the engine that defined the Chevrolet truck lineup
throughout the late 1960s and into the 1970s. The 350 was available
in multiple states of tune from the factory, and it remains one of
the most proven V8 engines ever built parts are plentiful, the
architecture is well understood by any competent shop, and the
engine responds well to modifications. This example has been fitted
with performance headers and a dual exhaust system, which improves
exhaust scavenging and gives the engine a noticeably deeper sound
than a stock single-outlet setup. A performance air filter rounds
out the induction side, helping the engine breathe more efficiently
than the factory paper element setup. The transmission is a 3-speed
automatic, appropriate for a truck of this size and use profile.
Power steering is fitted, which makes a meaningful difference at
lower speeds and during parking stock manual steering on these
trucks requires real effort. Front disc brakes have been added in
place of the factory front drums, a worthwhile safety upgrade that
gives the truck significantly better stopping ability, particularly
in emergency situations. Drum brakes remain at the rear, consistent
with the factory configuration for the period. The underside of
this truck is worth examining carefully, and the photos reward that
attention. The frame, suspension components, and undercarriage have
been well tended to. The exhaust runs cleanly from the headers
through dual pipes to dual mufflers, exiti WeBe Autos Specializes
