1981 Chevrolet C10

Description

This 1981 Chevrolet C10 has been given the right investments to be the ideal vintage cruiser. That means a sharp two-tone, A/C interior, and a V8 rebuilt for added power. So it's time to enjoy the vintage truck lifestyle to the fullest.

As you look over this whole pickup you're going to see a commitment to making this classic better without straying too far from stock. This feeling starts with the paint. The metallic brown and white two-tone has a very period-correct feeling, but it's a fresher application that loves to show off the well-creased body lines. And this is nicely detailed with the white roof and white pinstripes to give this a comprehensive style. Full-length trim, a bright chrome front bumper, and 15-inch wheels that resemble classic Chevy rally units all make for a clean and attractive vintage package. Plus, the rear step bumper with ball hitch and full liner paint in the bed remind you that a proper classic pickup is always up for a few chores.

The interior keeps the stock style with the right upgrades. For example, the door panels, dash, and bench seat all look vintage, but they have the feeling of fresh investments. The wraparound gauge panel is great for all your readouts and Delco AM/FM stereo. And even the dome light works. But details like the auxiliary gauges and modern R134a refrigerant for the factory A/C are part of the upgrades that make sure this classic stays an excellent cruiser.

The engine bay has a clean and fresh style, and we have a receipt for nearly $4,500 for a rebuild. This 350 cubic-inch V8 now has a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, polished Chevy valve covers, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. It's a strong runner and features like the HEI ignition and aluminum radiator with an electric fan help keep it that way. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make for an easy driving pickup.

Complete with the owner's manual, this is vintage fun with everyday easy appeal. So don't miss this restored Chevy, call today!
