This 1972 Chevy C-10 stepside short box truck comes to us straight from sunny California. It's nicely restored, with a shiny base coat/clear coat finish, a new oak bed, and a strong running 350 CID V8 (later model engine, appears to be a 1992 with an Edelbrock intake and carb setup; a nice eBayer informed me that, based on the VIN, this was a 6-cylinder truck in it's original form) and smooth shifting automatic transmission. I bought the truck in Palm Springs, California this winter, and spent the winter enjoying driving it all around the desert. It was a super daily-driver for my winter "snow bird" cruising. Everywhere you go with this truck, people react with a smile and a wave. It cruises smooth and straight down the road. It shifts smoothly and decisively, the power steering and brakes work great. This Chevy required very little sorting on my part, which is a bit unusual with collector cars. I replaced a valve cover gasket, and a few little details here and there, along with adding a new water pump (the day before loading it on the auto transport semi, the water pump seal failed and leaked coolant, so I had my mechanic in California install a brand new water pump). New heater / defroster controller installed, along with a new upper radiator hose. It's very fun to cruise in - the new turbo mufflers give it a throaty growl. The brightwork on this truck is in good shape - much of the trim, bumpers, etc. seems to have been replaced with new aftermarket trim. Very nice and shiny.
