1979 Chevrolet C10

Description

Thoroughly redesigned from stem to stern, the all-new third generation C/K trucks for 1973 proved to be the longest-lived series in Chevrolet's history and the three-box styling has proved quite popular since. Aside from wheels and hubcaps, there really wasn't much that was round anywhere in the design other than the body sides that featured a sculpted character line with a central plateau panel as well as curved side glass, a first on a GM truck. This short bed 1979 Chevrolet C/10 is an excellent example of this stylish design that is so popular today, as it was when new. Finished handsomely in a rich green color, the clean body lines are highlighted by the removal of all factory emblems and badging. Sitting slightly lower than the original ride height, this C/10 rolls on a staggered set of Dunlop GT Qualifier white lettered tires mounted on Ultra brand polished aluminum wheels, giving it a great stance without sacrificing drivability and utility. A black tonneau covering the bed adds to the smooth and tailored look of this clean classic truck. Inside, the deep black interior is complemented with a factory tilt steering column fitted with a custom Grant three-spoke steering wheel, a row of three under-dash gauges and a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth.

Powering this classic Chevy is a 350 cubic inch V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission with numerous upgrades that include an aluminum Edelbrock Performer intake topped with Holley Street Demon four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock chrome open-element air cleaner. Chrome valve covers look great on the engine and the long-tube exhaust headers exiting through a throaty-sounding dual exhaust system help this healthy 350 engine breathe. On board is a new battery, front disc brakes and a quality trailer hitch as well.
