1971 Chevrolet C/K Truck

1971 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup

In the 2000s when American Muscle Car values shot through the roof, many hot rodders and customizers could no longer justify altering these collector cars. It was at this time that the rise in popularity for modifying trucks really began to take hold and in recent years, the classic truck market has risen to show the widespread appreciation for the vehicles. Providing a perfect blend of classic style with usability that isnt available in coupes or sedans, people have come to appreciate trucks as a classic that you can still use- and the Chevrolet C10 is at the top of everyones list.

This 1971 C10 stepside is a great example finished in Medium Blue with a white roof. Under the care of a previous owner, this car was treated to a restoration, where it was kept largely stock, but did receive some nice to have upgrades as well. With its lowered ride height, this truck fits the muscle car ethos, sitting on a set of 15-inch Corvette Rallye wheels, wrapped in Radial T/A tires. Up front, a cowl induction hood helps the engine breath a bit better, while in the rear an oak wood bed floor has been fitted along with polished hardware.

The interior has been upgraded from a bench seat, to a pair of bucket seats sourced from a Blazer, with a storage console between them. Both seats and the door cards are wrapped in blue vinyl and the seats feature blue houndstooth inserts, while the dashboard is painted in the trucks body color. An AM radio sits in the dashboard, and in front of the driver, a Comfort Grip 3-spoke steering wheel from a Chevelle or Camaro SS has been installed. Perhaps most crucially, the truck has been fitted with modern air conditioning, power steering and power disc brakes so it is pleasant to drive - even in the summer heat.

Under the hood sits a 350 cubic inch V8, with some mild hot rodding done to it. Under the billet air cleaner sits a 4bbl Quadrajet carburetor on an Edelbrock intake, and an HEI Ignition system is behind it. A set of jet coated headers lead to a true dual exhaust, and an oversized aluminum radiator with electric fans keeps everything cool. This engine is connected to a TH350 3-speed automatic gearbox which is shifted on the column, and sends power back to a 12-bolt rear end.

A classic truck is great for so many reasons, they look fantastic, are fun to drive and can actually be useful around the house! This C10 Stepside is really a perfect classic for the person who wants to use their vehicle - built with reliability in mind, this truck runs and drives great, but retains that wonderful C10 shape people fell in love with more than 50 years ago.
