This 1972 Chevy K10 Cheyenne Super was original built in Fresno, CA. After completion, the truck spent the majority of its life in AZ up until the time it underwent a complete frame off rotisserie restoration. This was a highly optioned truck from the factory and with some new modern options thrown in the mix, it makes for a tastefully upgraded show piece.
During the restoration, the body of the truck was stripped down to bare metal and was refinished in a gleaming coat of two stage black paint. With its long panels, the truck is extremely straight and given its West Coast heritage, the body is totally rust free. Also stripped was the original chassis which is smooth and unpitted unlike many Midwest and Eastern trucks that saw a lot of salt. Prior to reassembly, the chassis received a coat of GM semi gloss black.
The motor is an LT1 that has been bored and stroked to 427 CI. It sports aluminum heads and breathes out through a set of coated headers which flow into a dual exhaust system. The engine has a mild cam and the dual exhaust system has a great rumble. Keeping things cool is a heavy duty radiator with electric fans and spinning the accessories a serpentine system. The transmission is the rebuilt Turbo Hydromatic unit that pops of nice clean shifts. All of the 4×4 equipment is working properly and truck is very nice out of the roads. Just turn the key and go – with the fuel injected motor, everyday reliability is at your beck and call.
The truck has a new interior restored with the factory correct red hounds tooth buckets. Original factory interior options included the Red Houndstooth bucket seats with the factory center console, upgraded gauge package with Amp gauge, Oil gauge, Temp gauge and Vac gauge. The K10 is also equipped with the factory Tachometer and tilt column. Keeping the cabin cool is the factory 4-season Air conditioning system and a modern digital radio sits in place of the original unit. With truck has an upgraded stereo that can be connected to a smartphone, and has and Audison amp, sub and 6×9 door speakers. The truck has Dynamat throughout the interior when keep temps at bay and rattles down.
