1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne 4 X 4 Pickup 1/2 Ton 350 V8 Long Bed Truck on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
This iconic truck would make an excellent restoration project, and does not need much to return it to original. This is a 1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne 4x4 1/2 ton pickup truck with a 350 engine in good condition, roadworthy and ready to go with new fluids and filters. The transmission was professionally replaced and converted to 4 X 4 at some point. It has the original orange paint with some scratches,dents, and fading. The quarter panels have a four inch by four inch piece of metal that was removed on each side. The bench seat has some wear, and seat belts are different colors.
This truck was purchased by my father from AJ's Transmissions in 2000 and he used it as a daily driver mainly for short trips to work. The truck had to have the VIN reassigned by the state of Colorado because it was reported stolen in 1976 and the VIN plate removed. The VIN inspection and reassignment paperwork are all provided. Original VIN is CKE142F352702. The odometer reads 47,790 and actual mileage is unknown. Title is clear. Here is some information from Wikipedia: Several changes occurred in 1971. First came another new grille
design (the "egg crate") for Chevrolet trucks and black paint over
portions of the GMC grille. Second, an additional trim package was introduced:
the Cheyenne. On GMC models, this was referred to as the Sierra. These packages
consisted mostly of comfort features — nicer interiors, more padding and
insulation, carpet, chrome trim, and upper and lower side molding and tailgate
trim. 1971 was the first year for AM/FM radios factory
installed. Finally, the front brakes on all light-duty trucks were switched
from drum brakes to disc brakes, resulting in much less brake fade under heavy
use. While many prior C/K half-ton trucks had used a six-lug bolt pattern (6 x
5.5") for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug
pattern (5 x 5–inch bolt circle) common to Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac passenger cars. The
1/2 ton 4 x 4 retained the 6 lug bolt pattern. This bolt pattern would remain
the standard through the end of the C/K series (along with the Chevrolet/GMC
vans). Also, Chevrolet changed the 396 V8 emblem designation to 400 V8 The 1972 models were virtually identical to 1971 models, with the only change being the rear view mirror was glued to the windshield instead of being bolted to top of the cab, and metal or vinyl-covered flat door panels were no longer available; all trim level door panels were molded plastic with integral armrests and wood grain inserts on Cheyenne and Sierra trim levels. For restoration, it should also be noted that the door and window cranks were slightly longer due to the molded plastic door panels, and the vent windows were now secured with a single screw on the inside of the door, thus differentiating it from the 1971 model year. The majority of 10 and 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1967 to 1972 were built with a coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which greatly improved the ride over traditional leaf springs. However, the leaf spring rear suspension was still available on those trucks, and standard on 30 series trucks. The front suspension on all Chevrolet trucks were independent front suspension with coil springs. GMC models came standard with leaf springs with coils springs optional; all four-wheel drive models (Chevrolet and GMC) had leaf springs on both axles. 1967 was the only year for the "small rear window" (RPO A10 offered a large rear window as a factory option[3]). The standard drive train came with a three-speed manual transmission and one of two engines; the 250 in3 straight six or the 283 cu in (4.6 L) V8. The optional transmissions were the four-speed manual, the Powerglide and the Turbo-Hydramatic 350 and 400. The 292 six and the 327 in3 V8 were the optional engines. The 1/2 ton trucks came with a 6 x 5.5–inch bolt pattern, the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks came with an 8 x 6.5–inch bolt pattern. |

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
