Debuting in 1960, the Chevrolet C/K series of pickup trucks would run for 42 years and four generations before being succeeded by the Silverado. Chevy used the C-moniker to denote two-wheel drive trucks, while K meant that you got four-wheel drive from the factory. Thus, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed is a two-wheel drive second-generation example. But that's not all; it's also a restomod. Having undergone a frame-off restoration that was concluded in 2020, it's got some lovely modern touches, plus a new drivetrain. With less than 8,000 miles etched into the odometer since its rebirth, this vintage charm is ready for it's next fortunate owner residing in Arkansas.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting a set of 20-inch Billet Specialty wheels, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed is a stunner in its Tuxedo Black coat exterior paint. We're told that the entire truck body was stripped and sand blasted. Then, new bed panels and a new bed floor were added, as well as new front panels. Finally, the whole thing was painted in Tuxedo Black. Meanwhile, the undercarriage was also cleaned and painted in Satin Black. That should tell you the meticulous nature of the restoration, as many other restorers neglect the undercarriage. Step aboard, and you're treated to a retro-modern cabin, sporting two low-back seats in black and white, with a center console separating them. Of course, this center console offers cup holders and storage. Shifting your attention to the custom billet dashboard, you'll find a full suite of white-faced retro-style gauges from Omega Kustom Instrument Company. The steering wheel is a Forever Sharp 3-spoke unit. Then, we've got a Retrosound head unit, plus a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system. Finally, we're told that the floors have been Raptor-lined.
Engine
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed has received a new engine as part of its restoration. The engine bay now hosts a GM 350ci small-block V8 with less than 9,000 miles, we're told. This is paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission to drive the rear wheels. The engine also enjoys Holley Sniper fuel injection for added reliability and better cold-starting abilities. Meanwhile, power steering has been added to make driving easier, along with new Wilwood disc brakes and a Wilwood compact master cylinder for enhanced stopping power.
Inspection
In 1967, Chevy released the second generation of its C/K Series pickup truck range. While its ladder-frame chassis remained largely the same as the first generation (because why change something that works very well), the body saw a ground-up redesign. Offered as a two-door pickup truck or chassis cab, buyers could pick from various six and eight cylinder engines to do the grunt work. Here, we have a 1967 Chevrolet C10 Stepside example for sale from Haymarket, Virginia. This truck has undergone plenty of work to bring it to the condition that you see here. Its got a 350 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox, and rides on some swish aftermarket polished chrome wheels. If you’ve been searching for a classic truck with some mods, this is your ideal candidate.
