STRONG SHORTBOX CHEVY, 383 STROKER, ALUMINUM HEADS, TH400, 12-BOLT, FLOWMASTERS!

Description

We run through these "Action Line" era Chevys as fast as we can get them. Stylish, comfortable, classic and powerful, these can be used as car show cruisers or tow/haul champs. We've got a really great 1971 Chevrolet C10 here in two-tone green and white with flashy wheels, a comfy interior and a stout 383 under the hood. Interested? Of course you are!Several changes occurred in 1971. First there was a new grille design (the "egg crate"). Second, an additional trim package was introduced: the Cheyenne. The package consisted mostly of comfort features: nicer interiors, more padding and insulation, carpet, chrome trim, and upper and lower side molding and tailgate trim. This is a Cheyenne Super, so it's got all the trim you could get in '71 and deluxe paint. The crisp Dark Green and White top go really well together, and it looks great with the upscale interior. The bumpers are shiny, lights and lenses clear, and even though the lowered stance makes it look menacing, it also has plenty of flash. The side spears and grille look fresh, and the sliding rear window and bed rails are little details which enhance the whole package. The bed is painted to match the bodywork and shows a few signs of use, so you don't have to be afraid to put it to work on weekends. This is a short bed truck, which just looks more balanced than the stepside or long bed models, and gives it a bit of a sporty attitude at the same time. Inside, you'll find an appealing interior that's upscale and elegant, particularly for a pickup truck. The wide front bench has a diamond-tufted seat cover that matches the door panels and dash, giving it a very unified look. From the driver's seat, you're staring down a factory steering wheel, a Sunpro tachometer, and a set of factory gauges, plus an aftermarket temperature gauge under the dash. It's likely that this truck originally carried an AM/FM radio, but it's been upgraded with a digital Pioneer AM/FM/cassette head unit that sounds much, much better. The woodgrain on the dash and door panels is original and keyed to the Super package, and we always dig the hand-tooled look of the door panels, as if the truck stepped right out of the Old West.Mechanically, this truck's a champ with a 383 cubic inch stroker motor, stout TH400 transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. The engine compartment shows that good money was spent, and the upgrades include aluminum heads, a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and a mild cam inside, so it's still user-friendly on the street. It's also sharply dressed with chrome valve covers, an open-element air cleaner, and some braided hoses for effect. Long-tube headers feed a pair of Flowmaster mufflers that give it that distinctive performance sound. The suspension offers up a supple ride thanks to the independent front and optional "truck arm" rear suspension with coil springs at all four corners. While many prior C/K half-ton trucks used a six-lug bolt pattern for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug pattern common to passenger cars, which allows this one to wear 18-inch Ridler wheels and matching Nitto performance rubber.Plenty of power, great comfort, clean sheet metal and a great look add up to a cool truck you can't pass up.
