The 1972 Chevrolet C10 offered buyers a whole new world when it came to life behind the wheel of a pickup. While it still executed its role as a workhorse effectively, it brought buyers the opportunity to order their new truck with luxury extras that were a pipedream only a few years before. This 1972 C10 Cheyenne Super demonstrates this approach perfectly, with trim and equipment that would make life on the road a pleasant experience. It is an original survivor, and it is looking for a new home. Located in Parker, Colorado, you will find the C10 listed for sale here on eBay. The BIN has been set at $37,500, but there is the option to make an offer.

The Cheyenne is finished in a combination of Ochre and White, and the owner claims that the paint is original. If this is true, its condition is pretty impressive. The sorts of lives that these pickups tend to lead can see them sporting plenty of scratches and marks, but we see none of that with this vehicle. The paint shines impressively, with no problems or issues to report. The bed is just as nice because while it has a few rub marks in the paint, nothing suggests that it has suffered from any type of abuse. I can’t spot any dings or dents in the panels, nor is there any evidence of rust. The trim and chrome present perfectly, while the chrome step rear bumper is a practical option. The original owner ordered the C10 equipped with tinted glass, and this is in excellent condition.

Buyers had a wide choice of engines when they ordered their new C10 in 1972, and the original owner chose to equip this one with the venerable 350ci small-block V8. This is backed by a 3-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes round out the package. The 350 should be capable of producing 175hp and 290 ft/lbs of torque. Those numbers are slightly down on the figures being pumped out by the range-topping 400ci unit, but it was still more than enough to make the C10 an effective load carrier or tow vehicle. The owner has recently had the engine and transmission pulled, and both have been re-sealed. While this work was being completed, he had the same shop rebuild the original carburetor. Curiously, the owner doesn’t indicate how well the vehicle runs or drives. However, it does come with some significant documentation. These include the Order Sheet, Build Sheet, Owner’s Manual, Protect-O-Plate, and maintenance records.

By today’s standards, the interior of the Cheyenne Super is not that well equipped. In 1972, it was something of a revelation. This package brought cloth and vinyl upholstery, some additional sound deadening, and woodgrain inserts on the dash and glovebox. The original owner chose to supplement these items with an AM radio and air conditioning. All of this remains untouched, although the factory radio has made way for a retro-look unit. There’s not much to be critical of here because the upholstery is in excellent order, there are no issues with the dash or carpet, and the door trims look spotless. The gauge cluster looks crisp, with the markings bright and all of the lenses appearing clear and free from cloudiness. There’s nothing for the buyer to do because the condition is well above average for a survivor-grade pickup.

If you were to wander out today with $30,000 in your pocket hunting for a 1972 C10 Cheyenne Super, you would more than likely come home empty-handed. Values are climbing steadily on these classics, and it is common to see them sell for $40,000 or more. This one is below that figure, and if it is as original and clean as the photos and listing suggest, it could be a very reasonable buy. Is this a classic pickup that you might be interested in pursuing further?
