For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet C10 in Mesa, Arizona

This 1971 Chevrolet C10 Custom is a classic pickup with V8 power, useful features, and the kind of style that makes these short bed Chevy such a timelessly popular style.


Silver is the kind of color that always looks good. It seems to have a shine no matter if the truck is dirty or clean. So it does a good job of showing off this C10's straight body panels. New headlights, complete side trim, and those cool upgraded 20-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels all make for a good vintage package. Plus, this classic Chevy truck still knows how to get to work. The bed has a Rhino Liner to protect it during Home Depot runs, and when that doesn't hold enough, there's also a proper trailer hitch on the rear.


The full black interior goes well with the exterior silver, and the paint returns on the door tops and dash to prove it. There are some nice details, like the taut bench seat with classic-style texture, clean dash pad, and dual-spoke steering wheel with stock-style gauges. Overall, it has the basic feeling you really got on the old-school pickups. You even have the sliding rear windows so that the kind of breezes flowing through in the kind of way only a vintage truck can provide.


Under the hood is proper Chevy V8 power. You may admire the polished pieces like the air grabber, valve covers, radiator hose, and alternator. But what will really make you happy are the performance upgrades. This 350 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor; it gets a good spark from the MSD Street Fire wires; and long tube headers allow the motor to exhale with added power and authority from the dual exhaust. This pickup has nice driving features like power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension. Plus, the wheel upgrade also means you get to fit modern grippy tires.


When you look at the fundamentals this classic Chevy provides, you realize this is a great deal on a short bed C10. So don't let it slip away, call today!
