New Addition 1971 C10 Farm Truck

[OBS_Trash]

Well Fam, I acquired a 1971 Super Cheyenne. Looking for another Forum Recommend for anyone that dabbles in OBS and 71 style C10. I’ve wanted this truck since I was 12.

What’s the best 71’ C10 Forum out there?? Guess now I’m “C10_Trash” too

Slick!!!

We once had a '72 C20 w/ the "Longhorn" option -- that longer-than-8' fleetside bed, wooden to boot -- and 400BB / TH400, 2-piece rims, two-tone paint and quite a bit of chrome, the toolbox on the passenger's side of the box like yours, and dual fuel tanks.

I wish I had a picture.

Too funny you bought it. I have been wanting a 67-72 C20 for a minute. The yellow and white is such a classic look. To be honest, I can’t think of a forum. But there is an “other vehicle builds” section here. It’s got a bow tie on it - people probably know a ton of info here.

Great buy! Jelly...

67-72chevytrucks dot com is outstanding. No-nonsense and a wealth of technical knowledge.

A few years back at the Syracuse Nationals there was a beautifully restored C20 Longhorn -- I think it was also a '72.
If I can find the photos I took I'll be sure to post up a couple.

In the meantime, I found a nice example of a 2-tone Longhorn at the Bring a Trailer website. Sold last year for a cool $29K.
(Bring a Trailer 2 tone big block Longhorn) Note: There's 96 photos of this fine ride, well worth a peek.

For what it's worth, it's a rare sighting, but whenever I see a factory tach in this dash I take the time to drink it in. So nice:

I really enjoy the '68-'72 trucks. Like the GMT400, nice lines, form follows function, have no problem at all being seen behind the wheel of one of these machines. :0)

OP, enjoy that '71. From my perspective you are living the dream.

WOW, virtually the same as ours, 'cept that one has AC, tach, 454 engine, '71MY...

That picture brings back memories.
