Seller's comments about 1979' Chevrolet C/K Truck

This 1979 Chevrolet K10 Custom Deluxe is a different kind of cool. Its a survivor-level 4x4 with V8 power, nice features, and a true patina style thats better than a candy-coated finish to many of us truck fans. The best trucks have an awesomely rugged sense of style. So we love to see it when it appears as if this one has gone over forty years with the same finish. In fact, the history we have on this one indicates that it has been with the same owner from new up until earlier this year. So while the color was once called Bright Blue when the Flint factory first applied it, today its more likely just to be called patina blue. The finish has fade and wear, but the body still shows the crisp lines of good respect. So while this would look quite nice with a respray, wed hate to erase 40+ years of earned history. It has all the pieces you want in a faithful workhorse, including wide towing mirrors, a rear step bumper with a tow ball, dual fuel tanks, and a tall 4x4 stance. And yes, as honest as this pickup is, it cant help but put a shining face forward with the newer headlights, polished grille surround, and bright chrome bumper. The interior follows more of that survivor attitude. But the robust classic feeling is exactly what you want when column shifting the transmission or opening up the rear window to let the breeze through. So you may make an investment to restore the air conditioning or add a new dash pad because thats what you like in a cruiser. But were just happy to see the whole package remaining so honest, right down to the working AM radio. Under the hood is a classic 350 cubic-inch V8 motor with a four-barrel carburetor on top. Its the right displacement for this pickup, and it makes for a solid power package. Like the rest of this truck, the appearance remains honest and stock. But the way this runs so smoothly reminds you of proper care under long-term ownership. Youll even spot newer fundamentals like the alternator. Its fun to take full control over this with the classic three-on-the-tree manual transmission. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make this Chevy truck ready to be a great cruiser. And the two-speed 4x4 transfer case, lifted suspension, and all-terrain tires are ready for off-road work. This is an impressively vintage 4x4 that tells its history all in the first glance. It makes for an all-around awesome attitude that you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
