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. |

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
