1970 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne

Description

It's got rugged, timeless looks, combined with all the road-readiness you could want. This 1970 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne carries all the classic styling cues that made the second generation of Chevy's C10 line such a winner when it was introduced, along with some well-chosen visual touches that blend in perfectly with their vintage backdrop.

As the '60s were giving way to the next decade, Chevy embarked on a fairly extensive do-over of its respected trucks, not only giving them a more modern appearance than what they had carried just before, but also adding an apt new nickname to go along with it - the Action Line. True to its model's original intent, this '70 seems plenty ready for vigorous activity - it's had the good fortune to have had its vintage look left largely intact, but with some great added touches also joining the mix to up its visual vitality level. The dark blue metallic and white color scheme now draped over its exterior is a great fit - the two-tone combo really pops in person and offers a strong shine. A billet grille has been added up front, looming over a table straight front bumper and joining a collection of brightwork that's in uniformly clean condition. This vintage truck's sturdy foundation has served it well, supporting an exterior that, after nearly a half century of faithful service, remains in very good alignment - both the cowl hood and the doors sport nice even gaps, and open and shut easily.

The interior has benefitted from a nice refurbishing that's left it still holding onto a suitably vintage appearance. The houndstooth covering over the bench seat mixes vinyl and cloth to good effect - it's become a "go to" update for a number of classic Chevys for good reason and it's well-represented here. In keeping with the C10's workmanlike intent, rubber flooring sits below and it's in very solid condition. A late model GM steering wheel now occupies the column, while the dash area in front of it sports what appears to be a fresh instrument panel filled with clear, readable gauges, as well as a supple-looking dash pad across the top. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD with iPod connectivity sits at its center, teaming with new speakers mounted in the door panels to provide great sound in the cabin. The bed area is well-protected by a vinyl tonneau cover and, while you can see some limited evidence of this C10's faithful service inside, it remains in good condition.

If a rock solid running condition under frequent driving is a priority for you, this pickup should move up your "must see" list - the 350 V8 standing by under the cowl hood is really running strong. It's been outfitted with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb for added power, as well as a chrome air cleaner, valve covers and fan shroud for increased visual flair, and it sounds great through its Flowmaster mufflers. A new fuel tank sits under the bed in back and the hoses surrounding the engine have been replaced to increase reliability. The powerplant teams with a smooth-shifting TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and with both power steering and front power disc brakes on board, this sharp looking C10 really drives nicely on its set of 15" stock wheels outfitted with Invader Radial G/T tires.

Whether faithfully carrying you to your work site in vintage style or bearing the burden of your weekend warrior pursuits, this 1970 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne is ready for action. Call today!
