We run through these "Action Line" era Chevys as fast as we can get them. Stylish, omfortable, lassic and powerful, hese can be used as car show cruisers or tow/haul champs. We've got a really great 1971 Chevrolet C10 here in two-tone green and white with flashy wheels, comfy interior and a stout 383 under the hood. Interested? Of course you are!Several changes occurred in 1971. First there was a new grille design (the "egg crate"). Second, n additional trim package was introduced: the Cheyenne. The package consisted mostly of comfort features: nicer interiors, ore padding and insulation, arpet, hrome trim, nd upper and lower side molding and tailgate trim. This is a Cheyenne Super, o it's got all the trim you could get in '71 and deluxe paint. The crisp Dark Green and White top go really well together, nd it looks great with the upscale interior. The bumpers are shiny, ights and lenses clear, nd even though the lowered stance makes it look menacing, t also has plenty of flash. The side spears and grille look fresh, nd the sliding rear window and bed rails are little details which enhance the whole package. The bed is painted to match the bodywork and shows a few signs of use, o you don't have to be afraid to put it to work on weekends. This is a short bed truck, hich just looks more balanced than the stepside or long bed models, nd gives it a bit of a sporty attitude at the same time. Inside, ou'll find an appealing interior that's upscale and elegant, articularly for a pickup truck. The wide front bench has a diamond-tufted seat cover that matches the door panels and dash, iving it a very unified look. From the driver's seat, ou're staring down a factory steering wheel, Sunpro tachometer, nd a set of factory gauges, lus an aftermarket temperature gauge under the dash. It's likely that this truck originally carried an AM/FM radio, ut it's been upgraded with a digital Pioneer AM/FM/cassette head unit that sounds much, uch better. The woodgrain on the dash and door panels is original and keyed to the Super package, nd we always dig the hand-tooled look of the door panels, s if the truck stepped right out of the Old West.Mechanically, his truck's a champ with a 383 cubic inch stroker motor, tout TH400 transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. The engine compartment shows that good money was spent, nd the upgrades include aluminum heads, big Holley 4-barrel carburetor, nd a mild cam inside, o it's still user-friendly on the street. It's also sharply dressed with chrome valve covers, n open-element air cleaner, nd some braided hoses for effect. Long-tube headers feed a pair of Flowmaster mufflers that give it that distinctive performance sound. The suspension offers up a supple ride thanks to the independent front and optional "truck arm" rear suspension with coil springs at all four corners. While many prior C/K half-ton trucks used a six-lug bolt pattern for the wheels, wo-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug pattern common to passenger cars, hich allows this one to wear 18-inch Ridler wheels and matching Nitto performance rubber.Plenty of power, reat comfort, lean sheet metal and a great look add up to a cool truck you can't pass up.
