This 1972 Chevrolet K10 4WD longbed (chassis CKF142Z163370) has been restored with new paint, interior, suspension and a rebuilt 454 in place of its original 350. Impressively specced with a 4-speed manual, front and rear limited slip differentials, and a nice, modest four inch lift over good looking Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels, it’s described as rust-free with very good driver cosmetics and is easily one of the most tasteful GM pick-up builds we’ve seen in years. Find it here on eBay in Pueblo, Colorado with no reserve.

​Said to have been a lifelong California truck before relocating to Colorado in 2009, restoration included new paint around the same time. Photos show it to be holding up very nicely, though the seller does mention a handful of scratches picked up on the road since. All trim and moldings were replaced during restoration, as were bumpers and the grille. Rolling stock is spot-on perfect—these trucks always look good with chunky BFGoodrich raised letter tires over holed aluminum wheels. Note the twin exhaust exits and their angled exit just aft of the rear wheels—another ideally implemented detail.

​Factory Cheyenne Super trim means the truck would have originally been fitted with a cloth bench, but blue vinyl arguably works even better in this application. Upholstery, carpets, door cards, dash pad, headliner and more were all replaced at the time of restoration, and though not installed, the original, working AM radio is included but not currently fitted—the dash opening remains unaltered. All lights are said to be functional, and the spray-on bed liner isn’t normally as shiny as seen in photos for which a water-based dressing was applied.

​The engine bay has been just as nicely prepped as the rest of the truck, and is home to a rebuilt 454—a nice upgrade over the stock 350. Original A/C has been omitted due to bracket incompatibility, though the seller mentions available aftermarket systems for retrofitting—something we’d look into, especially if operable with factory dash controls.

​This is one of a few chassis shots that seem to support rust-free claims.

​Power steering, brakes (discs in front), a big block, 4-speed and 4WD are a great combo in any form, but this one’s outstanding looks and condition make it our new benchmark.
