1971 Chevrolet C3100

Up for sale in our Houston showroom is one of the more desired years for a pick-up truck, the 1971 Chevrolet C30. From 1960, when Chevrolet and GMC brought the C/K series to the table, until 2000 this full-size truck line was a force to be reckon with as it has proven to be the be one of the best selling truck brands. The "C" indicated two-wheel drive and "K" indicated four-wheel drive. The second generation, which this remarkable example is from, was in production from 1967 until 1972 are the more desired models known as the “Action Line”. It was with this revision of the C/K truck that General Motors began to add comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line that had previously been for work purposes alone. The front suspension on all Chevrolet trucks were independent front suspension with coil springs. Several changes occurred in 1971. First came another new grille design (the "egg crate") for Chevrolet trucks and black paint over portions of the GMC grille. 1971 was the first year for AM/FM radios factory installed. While many prior C/K half-ton trucks had used a six-lug bolt pattern (6 x 5.5") for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug pattern (5 x 5–inch bolt circle.) Also, Chevrolet changed the 396 V8 emblem designation to 400 V8. This particular C30 proudly sports a numbers matching 402 C.I.D V8 and three speed THM-400 automatic transmission. The options on this 71’ Chevy C30 include: am/fm radio, power brakes, power steering, aluminum wheels, radial tires, seatbelts, vinyl interior and a numbers matching engine/transmission package.
