For Sale: 1984 Chevrolet K-30 in Mesa, Arizona

Imagination, determination, and a strong investment can create a 4x4 like this 1984 Chevrolet K30. With the rare quad cab, comfortable A/C interior, overdrive transmission, lifted stance, and a deep blue borrowed from a Corvette, this one-ton truck already has a ton of appeal. But what makes it absolutely awesome is the fully-built turbo diesel that gives this the bravado to live up to its beefy style.


This is a custom classic truck for those who need to look good getting to work, carrying the family, towing the toys, or do all three. The commercial-grade C30 chassis is already a rarity on the market today, but the four-door cab is the kind of truck that's almost a mythical sighting. So there are a lot of us who are excited about the setup even before looking at all the investments in awesomeness. The front has a custom steel bumper that makes for the perfect place to mount the Warn winch w/synthetic cable. The extra-tall lifted stance is anchored by those 20-inch XD wheels with the HD 8-lug setup. And the rear chrome bumper has a deep step, and beneath it is a proper tow hitch with 8-pin connection and trailer brake. Newer headlights, newer taillights, top running lights, a useful bed w/liner paint, and aluminum side steps for each door make for practical quality details. It's all finished in a share of dark blue borrowed from the '79 Corvette. The paint does a great job of conveying the right dark/mean attitude while given the right sophistication of a custom. And the finish is the right balance of a good gloss but never too fancy... after this isn't a trailer queen; it's the one that tows the trailer queen.


The 3+3 means the rare double bench seat interior that can seat up to six people. And just like today's extends cab trucks, there's adult-sized legroom in the rear. Everyone gets to stay comfortable with newer blue velour upholstery (2013), tinted windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth , Rockford Fosgate door speakers, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The driver's seat is a true command position with an upgraded sports steering wheel and a tilt column. The wraparound gauge panel is done in a carbon fiber texture, and it's home to crisp AutoMeter readouts with some of the most important dials moved to the A-pillar.


Under the hood of this Chevy is Dodge power...or more appropriately Cummins power. It's a 6.7-liter turbodiesel. It has been rebuilt and enhanced with a Stage 5 pump kit, a custom cam, 5,000 RPM kit, Banks Power air intake down tubes, an aluminum air intake w/four-inch outlet, Garret turbo, and more. It makes for a monster powerhouse that you dial-in with the Banks Power controller. And there was a new four-speed automatic transmission installed earlier this year (a nearly $6k investment all on its own.) It includes a multi-disc converter, billet low stall stator, billet input shaft, and billet flex plate. The NP205 4x4 transfer case is made even stronger by NorthWest FabWorks components. This gives it plenty of off-road prowess, especially combined with the 10-inch lift, Super Swampers M16 tires, King 2.5-inch diameter off-road racing shocks with piggy-back bypass. There's also a Benchworks power steering pump, four-wheel power disc brakes, and rear airbags when doing big towing - all part of this mean machine's practical side.


There are a ton of investments all totaling nearly $40k of upgrades to this rarely seen quad-cab classic Chevy. We don't have the room to list it all here, so give us a call today for all the details on this unique and capable 4x4.
