With its distinctive green paint holding a deep shine and an assortment of chrome trim that's looking sharp, this 1979 Chevrolet C10 is a fine representative of its model in unabashedly boxy, third generation form. Sporting a tastefully lowered stance that still leaves plenty of clearance to contend with regular driving conditions and rolling on a set of 20" IROC-style wheels, this is a great-looking truck. Its cabin glass is as clear as you could want and is surrounded by fresh, pliable seals to keep the elements from intruding, and the set of dual chrome exhaust exits combines with a leather roll-up tonneau cover to create a nice look from the back.
Climb in and take your position behind the wheel and you'll be surrounded by a well-restored, very comfortable interior that features a fresh bench seat, bracketed by door panels in a clean condition that suggests that they were replaced not long ago. A Grant steering wheel is now perched on the tilt column, with a set of white-faced analog gauges in place in the instrument cluster just in front of it. At the center of the dash, a RetroSound AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port and Bluetooth connectivity replaces the original radio, offering an enhanced array of audio options for your travels.
If your future plans call for plenty of driving, then this classic Chevy warrants a closer look. It's powered by a 350-cubic-inch V8, most likely its original powerplant, that's running smooth and strong and has been outfitted with both a four-barrel Holley Avenger carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold to optimize its output. It pairs with a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission that shifts with slip-free precision. Aftermarket headers leading to a dual exhaust that terminates in a pair of Flowmaster mufflers allow the engine to exhale with minimal back pressure while also creating a deep, rumbling note when you step on the gas pedal. Power steering makes this pickup easy to maneuver, and power brakes that include discs up front, as well as a recently replaced master cylinder and power booster, provide a level of confidence-inspiring stopping ability suited for frequent driving.
