Probably one of the nicest Cheyenne K10s in the country.

Numbers matching 1971 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne short bed 4x4.  Factory air conditioning, power steering, power front disc brakes, tach/gauge package, heavy duty cooling, posi and a lot more.  Original Protect-O-Plate, owner's manual, lots of service/restoration documentation and known provenance to first owner.  All inclusive, ground-up restoration with new steering and suspension systems.  Rebuilt engine, transmission and axles completely gone through.  Spectacular paint, gorgeous body and showroom interior.  Truck looks, feels, functions and drives like brand new . . .

2.5 inch lift looks perfect with 33-inch tires and rally wheels.

Top quality restoration and lots of factory options.  Doors, hood and tailgate are solid and precise, side glass rolls up and down silky smooth, sparkling clear lenses and stunning exterior bright work . . .

 The kind of build quality everybody looks for.  (and happily pays for)

Unbelievably good looking truck looks butch from all angles.  Spectacular panel and trim alignment, beautiful glass and knee-deep in rubber . . .

Old school solid axles with Warn manual locking front hubs.

Dual exhaust, 2-speed transfer case and tow hitch receiver . . .

Foy's attempt at a history lesson from the documentation provided . . .

The first owner leased this truck new, taking delivery January 22, 1971 at Kauffman Chevrolet in Colfax, California.  As best I can tell, he drove it about 13 years, traveling a little over 86,000 miles.  It passed to the second owner (still in Colfax) toward the latter part of 1984, mileage increasing to roughly 120,000 over the next 11 years.  This guy did a lot of maintenance and unlike the original owner, kept all his receipts.  The third owner (in nearby Orangevale, California) paid for the vehicle with a credit union check dated February 14, 1995 and would turn the odometer over once more during the next 18 years.  Besides putting on the most miles, this owner did the most work to the truck.  He had the original motor rebuilt about four months after purchase and afterward, wrote down dates, oil changes and mileage anywhere handy.  I found entries on pages in the owner's manual, scribbled on pieces of paper and some I discovered accidently on the back of parts receipts.  Looking at his purchases, you find things such as; he tried two carburetors before settling on a third.  He had a couple of different exhaust systems installed, swapped the mufflers for the ones on the truck now and then changed the tailpipes.  The lift kit was installed during this time, along with all the body and paint work, window tint, spray-in bed liner, steering and suspension rebuild, a few starters, couple of alternators, several tune-ups and brake jobs and a new interior.  Not sure if he sold it or what but the title was signed over last November to a dealer in Sacramento, with 01,646 on the odometer. (201,646)  A friend of Doug's (VLVA owner) in Canada bought it less than a month later and brought it to us with 01,763 showing. (201,763) It now has 201,801 miles and is basically a show truck.  I listed everything I could find in the table a few pictures above.  It's interesting reading. (if you're into that kind of thing) . . .

This series Chevy truck has been a favorite since day one.

I love all vintage GM pickups but this Cheyenne short bed has been a coveted dream vehicle of mine since I first watched it roll off the carrier the day it arrived.  As far as I'm concerned, this truck is absolutely perfect.  The body is smooth, straight and beautiful with gorgeous paint, and somebody got the stance exactly right with the 2.5 inch lift.  Walk closer and you'll see chrome and stainless that does not look 43 years old.  No masking or overspray boo-boos either; this bad boy was completely disassembled and carefully put back together.  Open the door, you'll feel and see nothing but quality and the Cheyenne package really dresses up this cabin.  Turn the key and the rebuilt original 350 fires instantly, sounds awesome and pulls like a freight train.  Transmission shifts perfect and all new steering and suspension means this truck probably tracks down the road better than it ever did when new.  I love this truck.  Unfortunately, it's a dream I'll never experience but you can have it.  Is this the nicest 1971 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne short bed 4x4 on the planet?  I think so.
