Strong running and great driving (just completed a trouble-free 300 mile trip) 1971 Chevrolet K10 4X4 half-ton long bed pickup truck with the Holy Grail running gear combo (newer small block 350, M465 4 speed manual trans, P205 transfer case, ana 44 front & 12 Bolt rear diffs) and power steering and power brakes.

The running gear is awesome with no apparent issues. I would not hesitate to drive it cross-country today. It starts right up, ccelerates, hifts smoothly, racks straight, urns and stops exactly as it should. Four wheel drive system works great as well. Tires have good tread but are cracking due to age. In my opinion, he excellent condition of the engine, unning gear, uspension, nd frame represent this truck's greatest strength.
The interior is in very good condition. The dash has minimal cutting (around radio only) and very few additional holes drilled; all easily fixable. Dash pad is severely cracked and should be replaced. Passenger window handle is stripped so it's difficult to roll up. Heater blower motor is inoperative. Speedometer, dometer, nd all gauges other than fuel work. All running and driving lights work. Ignition switch is loose but works fine.
The biggest issue with this truck is the typical vintage Chevy truck rust. It's all repairable (I've certainly seen much worse) and all panels are available inexpensively. The bed is in surprisingly good shape with minimal rust (previously repaired) around the fenderwells. Floorboards, ockers, ab corners, nd lower door skins all need love. Please look closely at my additional pictures. I've coated all exposed areas with a rust converter so it will not spread further.
The bones of this truck are awesome. It's only real issues are with the body and they're all fixable. If you are in a dry climate you could just leave it the way it is and enjoy it. It's a great driver as it sits. Or take it to the next level. Just my two cents.
