Jaw dropper on Ebay: 1971 Chevrolet C-10

[72BlckButy]

If it's true, this is an amazing find. Of course the steering wheel is wrong, and a few other things have me curious, but overall a solid looking original truck.

Man thats green...the chevy tips are a nice touch (not)

[D-Rat]

It's the year newer shortbed version of my CST

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Looks to be a beautiful truck..

[cdowns]

i doubt the claims ///i dont think dual exhaust was an option the steering wheel the rims the missing oilfillyube are a few of the redflags that cry out scam

[bigguy69]

was the black looking woodgrain on the glove box supposed to be that way?

[BIG ORANGE]

Very nice piece of history, that will make someone a sweet ride!

[rockc]

They sure add and put on a lot of parts for only ???? miles

i would say that this is a photo shop pic. The sun is beaming but the truck has a shadow? odd but still a nice looking truck. And if were real i would love to see it in person. thanks for sharing

Not real. That truck was a custom deluxe or less that has been converted. Deluxe emblems sit lower than super emblems (they have a bigger gap between the two as per the factory build manual). The a/c vacuum can. is a 70 earlier unit, 71 should have the plastic reservior. The white stripe on the vacuum lines should still be visable at least, they are not. The woodgrained dash and glovebox door do not match and it looks like the door has a 72 emblem- they are very different- 71 is plainer than 72 (lots of scroll). The final things are custom comfort and convience would have never shown up on the spid nor would the chrome front bumper- they were included in the super package. Only trucks that recieved dual exhaust from factory were bb trucks. Looks like a old cloned restore to me.

I'm not buying it either. Too many "valuable" options on this truck for such low miles. And imagine that, a USED CAR DEALER has it.

Scammage.

[Restrorob]

IF this were the real deal, Who in their right mind would put it on sleezebay with no reserve !

Years ago when in the auto biz I was informed once a older speedo flipped 100,000 the numbers would miss align, Notice the 3 centered in the window and the rest near the bottom ?

Miss represented in so many ways..... But still a nice looking truck for what it REALLY is.

[sameyrasmea72]

The sad thing is somebody will probably fall for it. A super would not have the molding listed as an option and I think the guages are standard on a Super too.

[leh72super1500]

A real tell tale sign that this is a higher mileage truck than what they claim is the wearing paint around the ignition switch. It is nice though, but not for this price.

[big_al_71]

This place is just about half hour north of my shop, if anyone is interested in actually buying it and needs me to go check it out I will be happy to do so.
I dont know about options or this or that but I definetly know crap work when I see it or rigs so I can definetly give you an honest description.


by the looks of it seems like a very nice truck indeed...I dont know about 17k but you never know.

[Old Yeller 1970]

I certainly don't know how to identify the errors others have mentioned. What get's me about this truck being an original 34k mi truck is there's no story of who it was bought from and their knowledge of the truck's history. Without that I would be very suspicious. But based on the photos it may well be worth the current selling price and more.
