Have you ever heard of the C10 Nationals? Dubbed “America’s Truck Event,” the program has been going on since 2018 and is gaining momentum around the country. C10 Nationals is geared toward Chevrolet and GMC trucks from 1947 through the current model year. Included on the agenda for each event are a swap meet, a cruise, a show, a dyno challenge, a vendor area, an autocross event and an awards ceremony. Talk about action-packed!
As you are reading this, in fact, there is a C10 Nationals event taking place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada on March 28 and 29. Don’t sweat it though, because you still have time to buy a C10 and attend the next one – it is slated for May 9 through 10 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.
Featured on AutoHunter is this 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe. It is being offered by a private seller in El Paso, Texas, and the auction will end on Tuesday.
The truck received a complete restoration, and its Medium Olive and White color scheme stays true to the original build. Features include chrome brightwork, body side moldings, dual side mirrors and newer Hankook Kinergy whitewall tires.
According to the Protect-O-Plate that comes with the truck, it was originally sold from Hansen Motor Company in Roseburg, Oregon, on March 14, 1972. The Service Parts Identification sticker says that it came optioned with a front stabilizer, a hydraulic brake booster, upgraded gauges, body side moldings, heavy-duty rear springs, power steering and the Custom Deluxe package.
Known for its enduring appeal, the “Action Line” C10 pickup was produced from 1967 through 1972 and is an undisputed American classic today. The truck was so popular when it was new that General Motors was producing it in 11 different assembly plants to keep up with demand – including two in South America and one in Canada.
Power comes from a 350ci small-block V8 mated to a rebuilt 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. The listing says that the powertrain has been upgraded with a four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, an MSD distributor, a high-torque starter, ceramic-coated headers and aluminum valve covers. Maintenance wise, the oil was changed and the spark plugs were replaced in December, so the truck is mechanically sound.

The auction for this 1972 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe ends Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at 11:45 a.m. (PDT).
