Two standout Chevrolet pickups from the golden era of American trucks are set to cross the Mecum auction block Saturday, April 5, during the Houston 2025 event — each offering a distinct blend of show-stopping looks and brute force.
Leading the charge is a 1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Super (Lot S242), restored from the frame up and fitted with a monster 572-cubic-inch V-8 crate engine. With aluminum heads and an automatic transmission, this short-bed pickup pairs classic looks with modern-day power. Finished in eye-popping red over a black interior, the C10 is outfitted with air conditioning, tilt steering, bucket seats, and a center console. It also boasts power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes, offering a comfortable drive to match its raw strength.
Just steps away, the 1970 Chevrolet K10 Custom Pickup (Lot S238) presents a more rugged, trail-ready attitude. A fuel-injected 383-cubic-inch V-8 built with Holley Sniper EFI powers this 4×4 beauty, paired to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and NP205 transfer case. Its glossy black exterior is accented by Cheyenne Super badging, new moldings, and custom lighting. Riding high on a 4-inch suspension lift with 20-inch Coys C30 wheels, this K10 mixes form with function, thanks to refinished bodywork, LED lights, and a spray-lined bed.
Additional features include Classic Air climate control, a fully detailed engine bay, custom CVF hood hinges, and fresh interior updates. The truck retains its original owner’s manual and Protect-O-Plate — key credentials for serious collectors.
Whether your tastes lean toward street-cruising style or lifted trail dominance, these two classic Chevys are ready to turn heads and ignite bidding wars in Houston.
