1971 Chevrolet K10 Custom Restored

Location: Klamath Falls, Oregon

Why It's Curated: This 1971 Chevrolet K10 Custom is for sale in Klamath Falls, OR. What separates this truck from the sea of "restored" C/K pickups is the integrity of its execution: a complete frame-off build finished in 2023, stripped to bare metal with all rust repair and prevention addressed before a base coat/clear coat finish was applied using Axalta solvent-based systems in the factory Medium Green. The result is a truck that reads correct -- all trim, emblems, and easily overlooked details reinstated to factory spec. Drivetrain updates are purposeful rather than radical: a 700R4 automatic with a Transgo shift kit replaces the original SM465, paired with a 355ci V8 and a 4-inch soft-ride spring lift. American Racing Baja 172 wheels in 15x10 wear Cooper Evolution MT 35x12.50R15 tires. The odometer shows 1,200 miles since the build, unverified as total lifetime miles. Second-owner provenance, the original build sheet, service brochures, and factory manuals round out a rare, well-documented package. Built for the enthusiast who wants a honest, period-correct driver with just enough capability to use it.

Model History: The 1972 K10 Cheyenne Super K10 4×4 represented the final pinnacle of the second-generation Chevrolet C/K series, which spanned 1967 to 1972. That year Chevrolet introduced the Cheyenne Super as the top-tier trim, featuring upgraded interior materials, woodgrain dash and trim, additional chrome accents, and deluxe upholstery—making it a luxury-focused counterpoint to utilitarian base models. The K10 designation denoted four-wheel-drive capability, rare at the time; four-wheel-drive versions accounted for a small fraction of production. Engine options ranged from the 250 CID inline-six base motor through small-block 307 and 350 V8s to the 402 CID big-block, paired with manual or automatic transmissions. The 1972 model year marked the final production run for this six-year generation, making it particularly sought after by collectors.
