1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom

Description

The iconic second-generation, rear-wheel-drive C-Series Chevrolet trucks launched in 1967, with designer Harry Bradley penning an innovative nose, refined grille, and sleek cab. As production continued the C-Series was gradually given a more upright, utilitarian look.

By 1972, the tough-looking C10 was easy to drive and highly configurable: It was available with Fleetside or Stepside bodies, 115- or 127-inch wheelbases, inline sixes or small- and big-block V8s, and manual or automatic transmissions. But the big story was comfort — these trucks coddled occupants with a smooth ride from a ladder frame and refined suspension, then impressed them with numerous convenience and power options. It was a revolutionary pickup then, and it remains a highly desirable collectible now.

This example combines classic Chevy truck styling with updated looks and performance. Its cab, long bed, and engine bay have been refinished in Silver, and it stands out with a White top and grille surround, a subtle cowl-induction hood, and a smoothed rear bumper. The refreshed interior wears gray upholstery and black carpet, and has been modified with a body-color dashboard, tilt steering column with an aftermarket wheel, a floor-mounted shifter, and an aftermarket stereo system.

It's powered by a modified 350ci V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission, with power front disc brakes and power steering rounding out the creature comforts.

This 1972 Chevrolet C10 is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Missouri title.
