Vehicle Description
This 1981 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale is just a flat out great looking
classic pickup. It wears a super-sharp 2-tone color scheme over its
rugged third generation C10 exterior and appears fresh and vital
from every angle. It's also well-equipped to handle the demands of
frequent driving, as it's packing fresh power under its hood, with
a recently rebuilt transmission sitting just behind it.
The early '80s seem awfully appealing when this sturdy truck pulls
up to report for duty. Dressed up in a two-tone gray and silver
metallic color scheme, it has a tasteful, vibrant look to it that
will have you rightfully convinced it's ready for action. The paint
really looks nice - it has a great shine to it, especially when out
in the sun, as well as a uniformly smooth texture. A quick lap
around will tell you its body alignment is very much up to par as
well - the cab transitions nicely into the bed area in back and
both the hood and doors open and shut smoothly while being
surrounded by tight, even gaps. The squared off, geometric front
grille sits over a clean bumper, while just below, the spoiler adds
a nice custom touch. Come around to the back and you'll see that
the Chevrolet badging on the lift gate really pops against its
chrome colored background. The finishing details are well looked
after here, too - the cabin sports clear glass, with front and rear
windshields surrounded by fresh rubber and all badging appears to
be on point.
Inside, the refurbished interior is looking sharp. At its center is
a revitalized bench seat likely added not long ago, judging from
its fresh appearance. Covered in black vinyl and showing no
creasing or other signs of wear, it's plushly padded, offers
comfortable support for even long trips and sits over fresh carpet
that's punctuated with a pair of floor mats. Additional interior
comfort and convenience features include cruise control, an air
conditioning system that was installed only about three months back
and is running at the top of its game, and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD
stereo with both satellite connectivity and an auxiliary port to
connect additional audio sources of your choosing. In back, the bed
area is well-protected by an extra thick, textured liner that's
obviously done its job well - there's no marked scuffs or any other
signs of shifting cargo inside its walls.
The engine compartment is nicely detailed and the 350 cubic inch V8
sitting at its center is as fresh as can be, having only logged
about 3,000 miles since its build. It's armed with a 4-barrel
Holley carb for added power, as well as a pair of chrome Edelbrock
valve covers and a chrome air cleaner for looks' sake. With
Flowmaster mufflers added to the mix, the powerplant sends a great
note out of the chrome exhaust tips peeking out just the right
amount in back and pairs with a freshly rebuilt TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission to form a very solidly functioning
drivetrain. Both power steering and power front disc brakes are on
board, so this classic pickup is an easy driver and can stop
promptly on its set of 15" American Racing wheels outfitted with
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
This 1981 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale offers the opportunity to put a
