This iconic truck would make an excellent restoration project or just repaint it for a good looking classic truck to drive. Featuring a 1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne 4x4, 1/2 ton pickup truck with a 350 engine in good condition, with new fluids and filters. It ran just fine until recently when it now needs a new starter (eleven tooth). The transmission was professionally replaced and converted to 4 X 4 at some point, and the aluminum transfer case is 1/3 lighter than the original cast iron. The Chevy orange paint has some scratches, small dents, fading, and a little rust here and there. The quarter panels have a four inch by four inch piece of metal that was removed on each side. The bench seat has some wear, and a couple of seat belts are different colors, the cigarette lighter is missing, a few cracks in dash vinyl, one tail light cracked, spare tire is on passenger side but the original is mounted underneath, some trim is missing and others not in great shape, two inch diameter rust hole in bed, and a few smaller ones. The rust on bottom corner of drivers door has extended onto a bracket as well. Underside looks good otherwise. This truck was well maintained by previous owner. For additional photos, please email. Engine is stamped 0405TJB on passenger side cylinder block. The air filter manifold is stamped mfg 1976. This truck was purchased from AJ's Transmissions in 2000 and used as a daily driver mainly for short trips to work, then parked since 2007 and started on occasion. The truck had the VIN reassigned by the state of Colorado because it was reported stolen in 1976 and the VIN plate removed. The VIN inspection and reassignment paperwork are all provided. Original VIN is CKE142F352702. The odometer reads 47,790 and actual mileage is unknown. Title is clear and in hand. For shipping and pick-up information: Truck is located in South Denver, Colorado 80210, right off of I-25. Information from Wikipedia: Several changes occurred in 1971. First came another new grille design (the "egg crate") for Chevrolet trucks and black paint over portions of the GMC grille. Second, an additional trim package was introduced: the Cheyenne. On GMC models, this was referred to as the Sierra. These packages consisted mostly of comfort features — nicer interiors, more padding and insulation, carpet, chrome trim, and upper and lower side molding and tailgate trim. 1971 was the first year for AM/FM radios factory installed. Finally, the front brakes on all light-duty trucks were switched from drum brakes to disc brakes, resulting in much less brake fade under heavy use. While many prior C/K half-ton trucks had used a six-lug bolt pattern (6 x 5.5") for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug pattern (5 x 5–inch bolt circle) common to Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac passenger cars. The 1/2 ton 4 x 4 retained the 6 lug bolt pattern. This bolt pattern would remain the standard through the end of the C/K series (along with the Chevrolet/GMC vans). Also, Chevrolet changed the 396 V8 emblem designation to 400 V8 The 1972 models were virtually identical to 1971 models, with the only change being the rear view mirror was glued to the windshield instead of being bolted to top of the cab, and metal or vinyl-covered flat door panels were no longer available; all trim level door panels were molded plastic with integral armrests and wood grain inserts on Cheyenne and Sierra trim levels. For restoration, it should also be noted that the door and window cranks were slightly longer due to the molded plastic door panels, and the vent windows were now secured with a single screw on the inside of the door, thus differentiating it from the 1971 model year. The majority of 10 and 20 series Chevrolet trucks from 1967 to 1972 were built with a coil spring trailing arm rear suspension, which greatly improved the ride over traditional leaf springs. However, the leaf spring rear suspension was still available on those trucks, and standard on 30 series trucks. The front suspension on all Chevrolet trucks were independent front suspension with coil springs. GMC models came standard with leaf springs with coils springs optional; all four-wheel drive models (Chevrolet and GMC) had leaf springs on both axles. 1967 was the only year for the "small rear window" (RPO A10 offered a large rear window as a factory option[3]). The standard drive train came with a three-speed manual transmission and one of two engines; the 250 in3 straight six or the 283 cu in (4.6 L) V8. The optional transmissions were the four-speed manual, the Powerglide and the Turbo-Hydramatic 350 and 400. The 292 six and the 327 in3 V8 were the optional engines. The 1/2 ton trucks came with a 6 x 5.5–inch bolt pattern, the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks came with an 8 x 6.5–inch bolt pattern.
