This is a 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne C 10 1/2 ton longbed pickup. It is probably as rustfree and original as you will find out there. It was owned forever by an elderly fellow down in Tucson,Arizona. It has been off the road and in storage for the last number of  years.The last Arizona registration in the truck was 2007. So it will need a tune up, fluids,belts ,filters,hoses changed. The stock 350 engine sounds pretty good, did not see smoke and should be good to go after freshening it up.. It will also need the brakes brought back as there are none, or very little right now. Which I found out yesterday. I put some fresh gas in it, put a good battery in and turned the key. Started right up. I drove it in my lot. Put the brakes on and nothing. Pumped them a  couple times and it stopped. So this is no highway machine right now. But it will take little to get it going down the roads again. This is one of those trucks you can drive as is, fix it up as you go. It will need new seat cover,carpet, arm rests , steering wheel cover and such on the interior.The door panels and the headliner are in pretty nice shape. The exhaust is a little loud so it will need some repair there. Tires are probably due.Not too mention brakes. But it really does not need too much. While the paint is original, it can probably be cleaned up enough to go as is. You only have original paint once.  The body is a beauty. Really no rust. Excellent,rockers, floor,cab corners. There is a small hole on top of the driver's  front sill near the gasket where they all rust. The wood in the bed is original and needs work. There is a heavy rubber mat on it. Which may help protecting the wood, but it also traps any moisture under it and rots the wood. There are some bad spots and missing pieces on the front part of the bed.Some of the side molding is off but it is in the bed..This truck came from the factory with quite a few options. Rear sliding window,HD springs,gauge package,tinted glass,AC,PS,Delco AM push button radio,Custom Sport truck, 350, HydraMatic AT.There is some kind of antique brake controller below the steering wheel. It belongs in the Smithsonian.The original owners manual in the plastic is still in the glovebox.There is a rear trailer hitch set up so pulling a small trailer would be no problem. This would be a great weekend, go to the dump, go to The Home Depot, haul the kids to the games,go around town in style truck. Or make a great shop truck.Hard to beat these old Chevys for ease of maintenance,parts supply and all around great value. Especially one as rustfree,solid and original as this one.This is no showroom truck, or even close. Just a straight honest original well maintained old Chev with plenty of life left. Truck has a straight clean Arizona title and is ready to go. Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. Pick up here in Presott,Arizona is encouraged. The truck will start up and drive well enough onto a car hauler so that it would not be a non op and charged as such by the transport guys. Storage till pick up is no problem.And I can help arrange overseas transport no problem.
