A Timeless Classic, Elegantly Refurbished.

The 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super Truck is a remarkable representation of American automotive history, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. This vintage beauty has undergone a complete transformation, seamlessly blending original features with contemporary upgrades, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.

Powering this truck is a 350 ci motor, flawlessly paired with a 350 turbo transmission and a 373 rear, ensuring that its performance matches its stunning appearance. Not only is the engine mechanically sound, but it has also been aesthetically enhanced, meticulously ground, filled, smoothed, and painted to perfectly match the truck's exterior. The transmission has also received careful attention, meticulously ground, smoothed, and finished with a shining chrome plating.

However, the modifications don't end there. The Cheyenne's frame has been meticulously boxed, filled, and smoothed to perfection, mirroring the same level of treatment given to the underside. Prominent stainless steel elements have been incorporated, providing both durability and a visually captivating shine to the vehicle.

What truly sets this truck apart is the intricate woodwork. Over 70 handmade solid red oak parts have been added, adding a unique and luxurious touch to the vehicle. This, combined with the fiberglass cowl induction hood and the cleverly frenched-in antenna, showcases the perfect fusion of classic and modern design elements.

Another standout feature is the custom-made polished stainless steel fuel tank, which complements the headers and 2.5 pipes that have been treated with a jet-hot finish. To ensure that the sound matches the aesthetic, polished stainless steel mufflers have been added, producing a growl that will delight any auto enthusiast.

The Cheyenne's paint job is also striking. Adorned in its original shades of Hawaiian Blue and White, the truck gleams with a PPG base coat and clear coat. The finish has been meticulously wet sanded 360 degrees, resulting in a smooth and flawless appearance from every angle.

Inside the truck, drivers are treated to modern conveniences such as a tilt wheel and factory air conditioning, ensuring comfort regardless of the journey's length or the outside temperature.

This 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super Truck is a harmonious blend of the past and present, representing the pinnacle of automotive restoration. Every element, from the exquisite woodwork to the engine enhancements, has been carefully chosen and expertly applied, resulting in a vehicle that is not only a work of art but also a piece of automotive history.
