1972 Chevrolet C10 74598 Miles Black Pickup Truck 350 V8 Automatic

Description for Chevrolet C-10 1972

Chevy got everything right with their redesigned 1967 pickups, and this slammed 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is a fine example. Powerful, handsome, and ready to work or play, it's proof that the market for clean classic pickups remains strong. Finished in basic black (always a favorite on any Chevrolet), this C10 offers a formal color combination that you don't often see on vehicles of this vintage and looks awesome anywhere it goes. Bodywork is quite good, and it's obvious that... this truck did not need any major surgery prior to paint, especially hailing from the warm, dry southern US. The finish has a lot of patina, much of which is intentional, so there's a cool mix of casual and sophisticated going on. It also appears that this truck never worked for a living, with a bed that's in incredible condition thanks to nicely preserved oak planks and chrome rub strips that only enhance the vintage vibe. There's plenty of trim to make it sparkle, including the mirrors, door handles, window trim, and bumpers, and the original grille is in fantastic condition. Despite a few signs of use, this truck shines up nicely and has an awesome stance that really grabs your attention. Black vinyl upholstery gives the interior an upscale, almost formal look, and the thoroughness of the restoration is evident in the painted door panels, which match the bodywork. The bench seat is firm and comfortable for three, offering that tooled detailing on the seat cover that was pure 1970s funky. A heavy-duty mat covers the floor, so no worries about getting the carpet dirty, and the dash has all the original gauges intact and operational, with minimal fading. The original thin-rimmed steering wheel is showing its age and is probably due for an upgrade and yes, you're seeing it correctly, that's under-dash A/C which still blows cold. An AM/FM radio lives in the dash, making this is the kind of truck where you can slide inside and feel instantly at home. The 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood is a potent, torquey mill that moves the pickup with the authority of a muscle car and as a small block Chevy, it looks right in the vintage pickup. Nestled into a very clean engine bay, it looks crisp with black details that match the truck's personality. It's not radical, running an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, a mild cam, and cast iron exhaust manifolds, but there is a great-sounding dual exhaust system with side exits that sound great. Power steering and power brakes are included, making this truck incredibly easy to handle, and the A/C has been converted to R134a refrigerant for easy maintenance. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission feeds a rugged 12-bolt rear end, which highlights a very clean undercarriage that includes stain black paint, shiny exhaust pipes, and new shocks. 20-inch wheels look awesome and totally fill the fenders thanks to the dramatically lowered suspension. Don't miss your chance to be a part of the next big thing, these Chevys are hot! Call today.
