1979 Chevrolet Scottsdale BIG10 'Patch' Got Patina? You would with
this rig! Patch is a South Dakota Native, named for obvious
reasons.. Patch of paint here, Patch of patina there. Built at the
Janesville, WI plant in April 1979. Bought New at Cassels Motors in
Faulkton, SD and later traded in close by at Stobbs Motor Company
in Miller, SD, just 41 miles south. There it was sold to the second
owner where it was used to haul a water tank around the farm, very
occasionally. We got if from a nice SoDak Truck Enthusiast in
Mitchell, SD that rescued it from said farm. Couldn't pass up
chance to resurrect this cool lookin' BIG 10! - side note (The
BIG10 package was basically 3/4 ton or Heavy Half as GMC called it.
Designed to save on taxes in some states, and emission regulations
in others.) Mechanical: Original #'s matching 350 with only 82K
miles. TH350 Automatic and 3.07 gear ratio. New fluids, oil change
(good VR1 High Zinc oil), Plugs & wires, cap & rotor. Vac lines,
PCV valve. New Radiator (rebuilt brass), hoses, coolant. New brake
master cylinder. Carburetor rebuilt and more.. Runs, Drives and
Stops as it should. Heater Works well, AC parts are there, but
needs a charge.. but we don't need that in Wyoming. Interior:
Factory Carmine Red Interior, Original Red Cloth seat has some
splits in the fabric. Foam is excellent! Good & Firm, which
verifies the mileage. Rubber floor mat, dash pad have cracks (see
pics). Replaced the door panels with some neatly faded/patina'd
original GM Red door panels that were found in Montana. They match
the look of the truck perfectly! Gauges, lights, instrument Panel
works, except the shift indicator tab that holds the cable is
broken. AM Radio works, so you'll never miss your favorite talk
show! Window tracks cleaned and greased. Good windshield and how
about those Gun Racks? Comes with a Sweet Custom trash can made out
of an old boot. Plus a vintage 'Keep On Truckin'' key chain!
Exterior: Code 18 - Charcol & 17 - Mystic Silver Two-tone
