It is hard to beat the timeless lines of a classic Action Line
Chevy, but this 1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup takes that legendary curb
appeal to a completely new level. Originally hailing from
California, this truck lived a salt free life before receiving a
meticulous build that earned it a solid number 2 condition rating
in a late 2025 appraisal. The body is exceptionally straight with
excellent panel fitment, and it is finished in a vibrant bright red
paint that looks absolutely miles deep. The exterior has been
thoughtfully smoothed out with a custom molded rear roll pan,
tinted glass all around, and brilliant chrome trim. Dropped over a
set of staggered 20 inch chrome five spoke wheels, this C10 has an
aggressive, ground hugging stance that commands attention wherever
it goes.
Lift the hood and you will find a beautifully detailed engine bay
with color matched inner fenders housing a potent 383 cubic inch
Stroker V8 built by Blue Print Engines. Documented to push a
healthy 425 horsepower on the dyno, this powerplant is dressed to
impress with an aluminum intake, finned aluminum valve covers, an
aluminum air cleaner, and a set of performance headers. That
reliable muscle is sent to the rear wheels through a stout Turbo
350 three speed automatic transmission. You get all the classic V8
rumble you want, paired with turn key reliability and zero signs of
leaks from the drivetrain.
To get that perfect lowered look without sacrificing the ride
quality, the suspension has been completely gone through from front
to back. The front end utilizes drop spindles, while the rear frame
has been properly C notched to provide ample clearance for the
lowered rear differential. The steering and shocks have been
updated, and stopping power is handled by a responsive power front
disc brake setup. Because this is a genuine California truck, the
floor pans and body mounts remain in excellent condition with
absolutely no rust damage.
The inside of the cab is just as dialed in as the exterior. The
metal surfaces are painted to match the bright red exterior,
framing a flawless dark charcoal bench seat with factory seat belts
and pristine black carpeting. A modern aftermarket stereo replaces
the factory radio, sending tunes to upgraded kick panel speakers,
while a polished tilt steering column is topped with a beautiful
wood rimmed steering wheel. Most importantly for those hot summer
cruise nights, this C10 is equipped with a fully functional air
conditioning system featuring under dash vents to keep the cabin
ice cold. Holding VIN CCE142Z102744, this fully sorted 1972 pickup
is a spectacular showstopper ready for the open road.
