This amazing 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is one of those vehicles that needs more space than we can give it here. Completely rebuilt from the ground up and finished in classic black-on-black, there are absolutely no disappointments here. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, loaded hauler that's also drop-dead gorgeous, look no further. These are already some of the best-looking pickups ever designed, and the clean bodywork and high-quality paint, give it a magnificent 21st century dose of cool. Very little has been altered, shaved, chopped, or frenched, but it sure looks awesome, doesn't it? That's the sign of a great build, making the ordinary look amazing. The up-level Cheyenne trim package gives it lots of brightwork that simply dazzles against the inky black paint, plus a kind of '70s-cool wood strip running along the rockers. Fit and finish are quite good, which you already know is critical on a black truck, and you can see from the reflections that the surface is in outstanding shape. A sprayed-in bed liner plus a removable rubber mat ensure that this truck is still up for a trip to the hardware store or local swap meet, and a set of bed rails means you can tie down anything you can fit in the bed. One look underneath and you'll find that this truck hasn't been 'gussied up' either - what you're looking at is the original floors & undercarriage of a southern truck. While the topside was done to the 9's, the current owner believed there was no reason to restore the undercarriage as 'I spend my time looking at the truck, not looking underneath it'. While it's always nice to see a show quality undercarriage, we tend to agree with him - when the rest of it looks this good - who cares? Fully insulated for a hushed driving environment, the black interior is another notable upgrade that blurs the line between original and modified. The bench seat offers a cloth and vinyl seat cover that looks stock and gives the Cheyenne a luxurious feel. I've long believed that the dashboards and gauges in these trucks were among the best-looking ever designed, better suited to a Corvette than a pickup. The instruments are in good shape with bright markings and needles, and the rest of the dash is stock. Factory A/C is still managed by its original controls, and entertainment comes from an AM/FM/CD head unit. There's also a tilt wheel, making this truck feel more like 2012 than 1972, and it's as comfortable to drive as any new car. Impressive. Mechanically, there aren't many better ways to power your Chevy than with a 350 cubic inch V8. They stuck to the basics with the build, so there's not a lot of flash beyond the open-element chrome air cleaner, but it also contributes to this truck's honest good looks. The Chevy Orange paint looks great in the black engine bay, and there are a lot of new details if you look closely, including things like the A/C lines, belts and hoses, and nicely refinished exhaust manifolds. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a rugged 12-bolt out back with highway-friendly gearing. A newer dual exhaust system has a muted rumble that allows this truck to cruise long distances without making your ears ring, and the chassis is solid, albeit a bit crusty. Classic Rally wheels with spinners completely fill the big truck-sized wheel wells with 275/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials. There's so much more to this truck that I urge you to give us a call today to discuss it. We have a hard time keeping these in stock, so if you're interested, do not delay and call today!
