For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet C10 in Lutz, Florida

This 1981 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale has a clean upgraded look, comfy A/C interior, and proper V8 power. So it's the solid cruising classic pickup you've been hunting for.


We like the first impression this one gives. The brown metallic paint has a glossy and attractive style, and it has a touch of that root beer tone that's so popular today. Combined with plenty of classic brightwork on the bumpers and trim, this truck has an appealing driver-ready appearance. A driver's classic also means substance within its style where the liner paint in the bed not only looks good, but it's also rugged to protect the bed for when it's time for real truck work. The 20-inch US mags wheels give this short bed pickup a nice sporty stance, and they allow you to fit better modern tires. And as you look over the full package, you'll see this full truck was meant to be an easy cruiser with a functional side. That means plenty of stoplight appeal no matter if you're having a Sunday drive or just going to Home Depot.


The interior is just as well presented as the exterior. It's a full tan package tastefully done with the cloth bench seat, good door panels, and a smooth dash. Everything from the grip of the steering wheel to the dome light that greets you has the right vintage feel. But there are also the right features for a better cruiser. For example, the tilt steering column gives you a good view of the wraparound gauge panel. And the factory air conditioning is now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant.


Under the hood is a quite stock and correct look to Chevy's small block V8. So the honest and clean style really fits with this truck's overall theme. The 305 cubic-inch V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor, and it swiftly moves this relatively lightweight pickup for a fine experience on the road. This one feels solid in the way it rides, and there are smooth shifts of the three-speed automatic transmission. Plus, there's power steering, power brakes, and front discs to make it an easy cruiser.


Stylish, vintage, useful, and a true fun cruiser - this square-body short-bed Chevy has a ton of appeal. So if you want to drive a distinct classic this weekend, you need to call today!
