1971 Power Disc Brakes
A friend of mine is seriously looking at this truck and I'm confused about the brakes. A you can see it has the non-power brake master cylinder. I thought seeing the 71's and 72's come with discs I thought that they would be power as well. Could you get non power disc brakes in 1971? If anybody sees anything else that doesn't look right please point it out.

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
Just pointing a couple things out, I'm not dissing the truck - but the valve covers are not original (but kind of cool) seat cover not original, I don't htink the tach is original - looks like a fairly solid truck though.

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
disc brakes were first introduced on these truck in 1971. I believe they came in power and standard non power configs

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
Thanks for pointing those things out but we had already spotted those things. Its just that i don't ever remember seeing disc brakes that weren't power.

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
Greg, According to the GM hertiage center, power brakes were a option in 71. The option code is J70. All 71 C-10's had front disk brakes standard. 71 C-10's could have Power Brakes by ordering option J70. I noticed the SPID on the ebay truck does not have the J70 option, so all is well.

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
It looks pretty good, but I don't see how anyone could ever buy an $8k vehicle without actually seeing it in person, and driving it.

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
I am still scratching my head. So... if you get there and don't like it, you're out $500 and a plane ticket? I hope it works out for your friend. Seems like the guy could "sell" his truck three or four times, and make $500 every time someone doesn't buy it?

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
What's the deal with the steering column?
No indicator. Shifter arm out of a different truck?

Re: 1971 Power Disc Brakes
Thank you for the sharp eyes and info. You are correct and looking at the Spid it doesn't show the truck has having an auto trans from the factory.
