Pair of Classic Chevy Trucks to Rumble Across the Block at Mecum Houston 2025
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector 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 4x4 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.
