Description

The '67-'72 Chevrolet/GMC C/K series of pickups is well on its way to achieving icon status, just as the '55-'57 Chevy passenger cars have. Neither the tri-five Chevys nor the '67-'72 pickups ever became unpopular. They maintained a solid popularity over the years, and that popularity rose steadily throughout the 90s. The demand for nice C/K examples has intensified as the most desirable trucks are quickly snapped up. Over the six-year run, more short bed Fleetside trucks were produced than Stepsides. Production numbers by bed style were pretty even for the first three years. Then in 1970 the Fleetsides took a considerable lead. That lead continued into 1971 when the Fleetside to Stepside ratio was about 3:2. In 1972, the ratio jumped to 2:1. The production number differences between Fleetsides and Stepsides was even more pronounced for longbed trucks. The differences grew yearly until 1972 when longbed Stepside production was only about 3 percent of the total run.Viewed from the outside, the only two visual differences between the 1971 and 1972 models are the rearview mirror is now glued to the windshield and there is no black stripe around the grille. Internal differences include a new door panel design and the addition of a strengthening screw on the inside of the door below the vent window division bar.This particular 1972 Chevrolet C-10 pick up has gone through a complete, frame off restoration that was just finished in October of 2009. Every nut, bolt and part has been taken out and refurbished/replaced. This truck didn't look as good as it does today when it rolled off of the factory floor! Finished in its original color combination, the paint is nearly perfect with no imperfections. The front and rear chrome bumpers have both been rechromed and look excellent. Both doors shut tight with no uneven gaps. Glass is good with no cracks or chips and the rubber is all new. Inside, the truck is finished in olive and yellow which coincides nicely with the yellow and white exterior. The seat is freshly reupholstered with no wear showing. The same goes for the headliner, door panels, carpet and dash pad which are all perfect. The original AM push button radio has been replaced with a new Kenwood AM/FM CD player that sounds great. All the gauges are in good working order as well as the lights, blinkers, horn and wipers. The option sheet is still intact inside the glove box which shows that this was a highly optioned truck. As rare as the long beds were, they are even more rare with this many options since most were purchased strictly as work trucks. Under the hood, the truck retains the correct 400 Cu In V8 that came standard. Other options include factory power steering, power brakes, Turbo Hydramatic transmission and A/C which still blows cold! The motor is extremely nicely detailed and look better then new. The chrome valve covers and K&N air cleaner are nice touches to the V8 and really dress it up. The underside is as nice as the top. This is an obvious frame off restoration with all rubber bushings replaced as well as all of the suspension components. You won't find many nicer then this, I promise. The miles show 38,267 and the VIN number is CCE142J126144. The truck is being sold on a clean Missouri title.
