This is my truck. PM me for more details.

1971 Chevrolet C-10 Cheyenne Deluxe. 1/2 ton, 2wd, 350, auto, longbed fleetside. 242k miles.

Edelbrock Performer carburetor, Edelbrock Performer cam, Edelbrock intake manifold, CompCam timing chain and gears, Summit house-brand headers, Flowmaster mufflers, side exit exhaust. (most of these were installed about 18 months/8,000 miles ago).

Dyno'ed (chassis dyno) at 193hp, 350ft-lbs, but the throttle cable slipped at about 2/3 of the way through the pull. I'm guestimating its more like 220hp, 375ft-lbs at the rear wheels.

Disc brakes up front, brand new drums out back. Tires are fair, they've got about 60k miles on them.

Aftermarket cruise control. Transmission rebuilt less than 5k miles ago by reputable shop.

It IS rusty. Not much left of either rocker panel, and the cab corners and supports ought to be replaced as well. Starting to bubble over the rear arches, and in the tailgate.

It DOES burn and/or leak oil. Usually add a quart every 500 miles or so.

Asking $1500.

Lots of pictures on my Photobucket.

(This doesn't really do the stance justice, there's more rake than this picture shows.)

That's a lot of torque!

I can't tell, does it have leaf springs or coils?

I'm 99% sure it has coils, I think you could see from that angle if it had leaf springs. I have had a couple of those and 12-17 mpg should be normal, I have heard of someone getting 20 with minor mods and careful driving.

CarKid1989: Not great, admittedly. If you don't drive it like a nutjob, you can weasel 10 or 12 out of it. Usually its more like 9. Could probably be improved with some more careful tuning, I didn't put a heck of a lot of effort into getting it just right.

Jed: Leaves in back, coils in front.

Cooter: Its good. I'm assuming your concern is rust...
