The Chevy C-10 was a versatile and popular truck at its inception and has never fallen out of popularity with truck enthusiasts. Not only does the C-10 perform significantly better than its predecessors, but there are plethora of new and aftermarket parts available for the platform, offering up varying levels of customization and restoration options and further solidifying its popularity.
This 1971 Chevy C-10 Cheyenne Super is a very nicely restored mild custom that is an awesome and reliable driver. Whether you are cruising around town or driving on the Hot Rod Power Tour, the truck is as flexible as it is fun. The C-10 is the recipient of 5 year old restoration and has been driven just a few thousand miles since all of the work was performed.
The truck features a performance built Chevy 383 with dual Edelbrock carbs, electronic ignition, and comes equipped with power steering, power brakes and ice cold AC. It has a mild performance cam shaft and has a nice lopey idle. The transmission is a built Turbo 400 with a shift kit and makes nice transitions between gears, and the posi -traction rear end grabs rubber at will.
The suspension on the truck has a 4 inch drop all the way around which really sets off the stance. The lowered ride is courtesy of the folks over at CPP and incorporates a dropped spindle in the front to provide quite a drop while keeping the proper geometry. The Chevy rides on BFG tires with American Racing wheels which offer up a smooth ride and much better handling than the original equipment tires. The truck comes to quick halt via the power front disc set up and is stable and smooth at highway speeds.
For the Chevy truck enthusiast looking for an practical performance truck, look no further than this competent C-10.
