1973 454 C-10 New to me ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

djinva · 04-25-2018, 05:53 PM

I just purchased a 1973 Cheyenne Super short bed with a 454. It has 33,900 original miles. It is an extremely nice truck that's been kept in the dry it whole life.

How many big block 1/2 tons were built in 1973, I don't know if I have ever seen one.

That’s a great find!

**MusicMan70** · 04-25-2018, 09:54 PM

Beautiful Find; Love the woodgrain! What is the color listed on the Spid? Gotta be pretty rare in that condition.

flashed · 04-25-2018, 09:55 PM

Wow , nice .

Dads79GMC · 04-26-2018, 12:00 AM

Beautiful!!!! Love it!!!

cadillac_al · 04-26-2018, 05:52 AM

That is a cream puff, with woodgrain, hubcaps and all. That could be in a museum. I hope it never gets hacked.

95 S_Trucker · 04-26-2018, 07:10 AM

Nice truck. Was it painted? I don't see any drip rails above the doors.

jkk · 04-26-2018, 07:15 AM

That is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet love it

zach_carver · 04-26-2018, 07:20 AM

WOW! That is one cool truck. I think its cool how many of these trucks are still hidden away with low miles and nice trucks.

djinva · 04-26-2018, 08:41 AM

I haven't had a chance to look over it good at this point. I haven't gotten it home yet and I have to go out of town for a few days for work. I hope to get it home next Wednesday, I really excited about it.

Drip rails didn't exist until 74. Didn't take um long to figure out how neccessary they were! lol

BIGglaSS · 04-26-2018, 10:04 AM

I prefer slammed, LS, big wheels, restomod. But even I would leave that time capsule alone! Excellent find, envious!

Bennydog · 04-26-2018, 03:34 PM

mingoman · 04-28-2018, 07:56 AM

That is one awesome truck you have! Quite a few years ago, 40 I think, we had a 73 cheyenne super on the farm, 454 lwb, solid black. I'm sure it's long gone now.

**Joesjunk** · 04-29-2018, 08:50 AM

Wow, that’s a nice one. I love these low mile original trucks

Had to dig this back up. Probably my favorite square ever. This truck recently sold for around 50k.

**Corts60** · 07-30-2022, 10:12 AM

Now you’ve got everyone drooling!!

What a beautiful time capsule. That should be shined up and put on display. See how much GM will give you for their heritage museum. Haha!
