Vehicle Description
If you've been looking for a rugged, go-anywhere, square-jawed
truck with all the goodies, you've just found a great choice. This
1984 Chevrolet K10 4x4 has been nicely upgraded and looks fantastic
in burgundy paint. With plenty of power, heavy-duty off-road gear
underneath, and a comfortable interior, you just can't buy more
truck for your dollar than this.
Nearly 40 years later, these trucks STILL look fantastic. Forget
aerodynamics for a moment, and take a good look at the angles on
this truck, which was designed to work for a living, not sip gas.
Always a clean, southern machine, it sports laser-straight body
panels and paint that shines up well but is still prepared to repel
mud and dirt from playing outside. It doesn't appear to have ever
been a work truck, and the stepside bed/regular cab models often
enjoy the best care because they're personal vehicles. The stepside
bed always looks muscular and this truck is loaded with extras,
including a cowl-induction hood, roll bar with KC sport lights, and
a set off steps to help with climbing into this tall off-roader.
The original chrome and trim looks great, although there's a fresh
grille and clear headlights to give it a slightly updated look. And
it's extremely cool to see real wood planks in the bed as late as
1984, a nod to tradition that still works. Better still, they're
not so nice that you'll be afraid to use this truck as intended.
Get in and get dirty!
The factory black vinyl bench seat interior remains in place and
its current condition tells you all you need to know about the easy
life this truck has lived. Aside from some very light
discoloration, the upholstery remains excellent, with no rips or
tears, and matching black carpets make it feel a bit civilized. The
gauges are original and fully functional, and yes, that's a 4-speed
shifter with a Hurst cue ball on top, making this 4x4 a lot of fun
to drive. It's light on options, but it does have power steering
and power front disc brakes, which are much appreciated with those
massive tires. There's also a new AM/FM/CD stereo head unit in the
dash, and for open-air cruising on mild days, nothing beats a
pickup with a sliding rear window.
The engine is a 350 cubic inch crate motor with a bunch of
reputable horsepower-building parts. Edelbrock supplied the
carburetor, Weiand supplied the intake manifold, and a set of
long-tube headers and Flowmaster mufflers really make it sound
nasty. The engine bay itself is reasonbly clean with body-colored
paint on the block and some chrome dress-up, and all the mechanical
pieces are in excellent shape. The aforementioned 4-speed manual
transmission is linked to a 2-speed transfer case, which feeds both
axles when you're off-roading for maximum traction. Underneath, the
chassis is solid and highly original, augmented by a modest lift
that gives this truck an impressive presence over the other cars on
the road. Massive 35x12.5-15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires are
wrapped around a set of factory-style Rally wheels for an awesome
look.
This cool off-roader is ready to hit the trails or head to the job
site where it will perform equally well. Call today!
