Vehicle Description
1971 C-10 "Trucking Coool"
It wasn't long ago that trucks were never owned by choice, but
rather by necessity .One purchased a truck because of the work that
one could accomplish with the help of an empty box behind the
driver... For those of you that have short memories or are just too
damned young to know.... Those trucks that the working class used ,
quite literally built our country. Brick by brick and block by
block... They enabled the regular working stiff to aspire to be a
Contractor or just haul his own supplies or get and move farm
supplies.. They gave the working class independence.... The truck
enabled the blue and no collared folks the opportunity to do what
needed to be done without having to rely upon horses and wagons or
worse yet to have to hire someone else to do the job....
Then came the age of "Truck Cool"and kids were doing things to
trucks that had never been done before. Bigger motors, lowering
them right down to the ground, Jacking them up five feet in the air
. Making them as shiny on the bottom as they were on top....putting
TV's or theatres ..right there in the truck .Then the Manufacturers
began producing trucks that were so luxurious you might have
thought you were driving a Cadillac or something , 6 passengers
,rear seats with heaters and power everything... Hell these new
trucks even tell you where to go and how to get there.......The age
of the "Work Truck" was fading fast..
Now here is what is really "Trucking Cool" !!!! Let's take a 71
C-10 dinosaur that was , in a previous lifetime one of those trucks
that built the country , that was a "brick by brick" " block by
block"Work Truck and give it a whole new life...
First take it down to the frame then let's put a late model L/S
motor in it and a late model 4 speed electronically controlled
overdrive tranny in it... Then let's add air conditioning , leather
interior, and power steering ..... light weight aluminum bed along
with all new suspension.... Let's put a phenomenal paint job on it
and an ass kicking set of 20 inch wheels ...... And presto chango
we have resurrected an awesome truck !!!! another 50 years of life
has been infused into the sheet metal...... Come and get your TRUCK
ON.....
