Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne pickup

1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne pickup

In 1971, Chevrolet introduced a new trim level into its C/K pickup series. Though hardly luxurious by today’s standards, the Cheyenne trim included things like additional padding in the seats; more attention to noise, vibration and harshness control; carpeting; chrome trim; and lower side molding. Perhaps most significant to buyers was that the Cheyenne (and its cross-brand equivalent, the GMC Sierra) didn’t look like a bare-bones work truck, allowing suburbanites to park pickups in the driveway without raised eyebrows from neighbors. This 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne, for sale on Hemmings.com, is clearly a K-series four wheel drive model, but what lurks beneath the glossy hood is anyone’s guess. The base engine for Chevrolet trucks in 1971 was 250-cu.in. six, followed by the optional 292 six, the 307 V-8 and the 350 V-8, so we’d want to clarify that before making any kind of offer. Overall, the truck appears to be in solid condition, ready to work or play for its next owner at a significantly lower price than a modern rig. From the seller’s description:
