Anyways, it's a 1972 Chevy C10 Cheyenne Camper Special....ALL ORIGINAL, UNRESTORED - original paint! Turned 82,000 miles on the way home.
350 4bbl V8, Turbo Hydramatic, factory A/C, power disc brakes, power steering, tinted glass, cargo lamp, AM radio, full wheelcovers, heavy duty springs/front sway bar, camper mirrors, full Cheyenne interior (chrome/woodgrain trim, vinyl/chrome headliner, padded dash & door panels, stainless pedals, etc.), factory rear step bumper and trailer brake. Runs and drives fantastic - cruised comfortably at 65-70 on the highway for the 70 mile trip home in the rain - had to hold it back, cause that 4bbl V8 just likes to go! Here's a few phone pics:
Bed is in amazing shape - no scrapes or rust, very few dings.
Needs new outer rocker panels on both sides, plus a cab corner on the driver's side. Probably will replace the RF fender as well and do a bit of preventative touch up where it needs it, but just what needs to be done, as I'd like to retain its excellent original paint job and 'survivor' status. Door molding is delaminating on the passenger door, not sure if that's repairable.
Interior is in surprisingly good shape - dash has no cracks, carpet is mint. I really need some help finding out the history on the seat - the upholstery appears OEM, and according to the former owner is original, but I can't find anywhere where this was an option - the Cheyennes usually had vinyl seats, and Cheyenne Supers had houndstooth upholstery. The driver's side is fraying unfortunately - but I have no idea whether this is OEM, or whether to replace it with the usual vinyl upholstery. A few people have looked at it and all said it looks to be original, but all brochures, option codes, and pictures I can find don't show any such option. Either it's a rare anomaly or a very good reupholstery job. Steering wheel is very cracked & needs replacement, radio doesn't work, but everything else works great, down to the cigarette lighter!
