This 1972 Chevrolet K10 is a half-ton 4×4 longbed powered by a 350ci V8 paired to a 3-speed automatic and optioned with the Cheyenne comfort and appearance package. The truck was manufactured at GM’s plant in Fremont, California, and reportedly spent most its life in southern California and Nevada before being brought to the Midwest by the seller’s father in 2011. A subsequent cosmetic refreshment included metal repair along with fresh paint, trim pieces, and interior items. Mechanical work since 2011 has included a new battery, ignition parts, starter solenoid, and rear brakes. The truck has been used only to tow a vintage Chris-Craft in recent summers and the seller is assisting his mother in its sale, which includes receipts for the recent work and a clean Indiana title.

Dents and dings were removed from body panels before paint, and rust repair took place in the cab’s kick panels, jambs, and lower rear corners. No remaining rot is evident, though small amounts of bubbling can be seen in a lower front fender, around a drip rail seam, and near a rear wheel well. Six-lug 15″ rally wheels wear deep beauty rings and have been mounted with 33″ Nitto all terrain rubber.

The exterior was repainted in its original two-tone white on Dark Olive metallic in 2011 and has been garaged and covered since. The finish retains an even shine over large expanses of sheet metal with no substantial scuffs or scratches apparent in photos. Tape lines are visible on the windshield seal, and blemishes include scattered small chips and occasional overspray per the seller. Photos in the gallery show the truck’s condition before its cosmetic refreshment.

Bright trim is largely new and presentable overall, with a small kink in the front bumper as well as occasional dings collected since installation. Cheyenne lower side moldings were refreshed and show clean black painted inserts. The 1971-72 “egg crate” grille wears its original finish, and a new bowtie emblem is included but not yet affixed. Fresh lights and lenses look clear and free of damage, while a vertical crack in the windshield is shown in the gallery.

The “Fleetside” longbed measures 98″ in length over a 127″ wheelbase and wears color-matched Rhino Liner over its floor. Signs of use include scuffs and dings, though no major damage or corner rot are visible. A stock tailgate shows small rusted chips at the top but appears free of typical rot in its lower regions, and the period diamond-plate tow bumper also looks free of major corrosion. Optional cab and bed lights are currently wired so that only one can be illuminated at a time.

The Cheyenne’s upgraded bench seat was refreshed with new cushions and correct upholstery including debossed filigree. Doors received new gaskets, bumpers, locks, and panels, and a set of new woodgrain inserts is included to replace the scuffed originals. Factory-style carpeting and pedal trims were also replaced, while the mildly scratched original ceiling panel remains above. Body-colored interior surfaces were left original and most painted surfaces look serviceable while showing occasional white overspray.

Plastics are free of splits where visible in photos, while some metallic trim shows heavy wear. Controls look largely stock and complete including the factory two-spoke plastic wheel. Original instruments included optional temperature, oil pressure, and ammeter gauges, and all have been replaced with a newer set. Just under 39k miles are shown on the current odometer and just over 73k are on the included original.

A factory AM pushbutton radio is retained in the dash but is not currently working. The glovebox insert has been removed for access to HVAC pieces and is included. The fan blows air but not all vents are hooked up, though the piping is included to do so. The nonfunctional factory air conditioning retains its original Frigidaire compressor and is said to be largely intact but disconnected.

The 350ci V8 underhood is believed original and was reportedly rebuilt at an unknown date by the previous owner. The powerplant is said to start immediately and run without issues thanks to a new battery, ignition module, distributor cap, and rotor along with a used starter and new solenoid within the last five years. Alternator and power steering belts are also recent, and the truck was last serviced 2015.

Some ancillary items remain fresh-looking while others wear a coat of oxidation, as do the tops of the frame rails visible from above. The generally tidy engine bay shows some flaking paint and non-original wiring. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, which is said to shift smoothly and is linked to an NP205 transfer case. Optional power steering is said to work well despite a slow fluid leak, while an engine oil leak was fixed with a new timing cover seal in 2010.

Underneath, the C/K ladder-frame chassis was suspended by leaf springs at all four corners for 4×4 models and has been coated in black Rhino Liner here. Manually locking front hubs are fitted along with optional 3.73 axles and Positraction in the rear. Rear brake drums were turned and received new shoes and rebuilt wheel cylinders in 2011. Isolated areas of rust are described in some of the wheel wells.

A thick folder of receipts documents cosmetic refreshments and and repairs since 2010, though no prior service records are available. Extras include a full cover, standard ball hitch, spare tire and mount, minor interior trim parts, and spare key along with the items listed above. Also included are original sales literature, owner’s manual, maintenance folio, and “Authorized Selling Dealer” plate imprint.
