For Sale: 1977 Chevrolet K-10 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1977 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale Long Bed Pickup

The model year 1960 brought the Chevrolet pickup into the modern era with its C/K series lineup. The "C" designation identified two wheel drive pickups, and the "K" identified 4X4s. The most common pickup was the C10, a half ton truck with a 6.5 or 8 foot cargo box. The C/K series trucks remained essentially the same vehicle during a series of conservative redesigns, until 1997, when the 1998 Silverado replaced it. In 1977, trim packages included Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, Cheyenne, and Silverado, each building on the former with more features.

For consignment, a 1977 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale long bed pickup with a title verified 144,405 actual miles. This reliable 4x4, with a 350 under the hood, has just enough patina that you don't have to fret about driving it in weather, even snow. It's also straight and clean enough to serve as a restoration project if that's the trail you're on!

Exterior
The K10's two tone coverage is a combination of dark red and medium red and overall, it shows some well earned patina with fading, discoloration, bubbling, and some real rust which we'll get to. For now, let's soak in the classic shape of the long bed square body and its high stance, perched on typical 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels and 70 series tires. The rear bumper is a virtual work zone, with various hitches and a trailer wire harness on a diamond steel topped bumper, slightly askew in its service. From straight on, we note round fog lights, a reddish bug guard, and trailer mirrors on the sides. From this angle, we note rusted rocker panels, peeling and cracked filler, and paint runs that would not make Bob Ross happy. The bed is covered with a full liner in good condition.

Interior
Red plastic door cards show some expected patina and open up to a gray tweed bench seat in nice condition behind a black steering wheel and basic instrument cluster housed in black plastic in overall decent shape. Vent levers are positioned over a period AM/FM radio while your guest gets the benefit of an attractive woodgrain insert and Scottsdale name on the dash ahead, all under a dash pad that shows some cracks. The red rubberized floor covering rolls over the transmission tunnel where the range selector is found along with an added cup and change storage bin. The headliner is simple red painted stamped steel.

Drivetrain
Driver quality under the hood where the 350ci V8 resides, topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic. Power is received first by the 12 bolt rear axle with 3.07 convention gears and can be split to the front axle with the same ratio. Power brakes and power steering are on board.

Undercarriage
Red paint on the frame and bed belly set the backdrop for the components that show their age with surface rust and discoloration. There's mud and road spray underneath and we're okay with that as it seems right at home! Our spare tire bracket is hanging low just behind the 12 bolt. Brakes are noted as front power disc and rear drum and dual exhaust flow through stock style mufflers then exit east and west in front of the rear tires. Suspension is made up of leaf springs front and rear.

Drive-Ability
Upon start up, we notice some exhaust leaks but the 350 still provides plenty of power and the view from on high is pretty good, with a slider rear window providing a look at the bed. The truck tracks straight and we're keeping things at pedestrian speeds due to the older tires that appear dry. The tachometer is not working but all other items function as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

4x4 action for snow and mud, and a big bed to do the work a pickup is known for, this truck has a lot to offer. If an old school square body is on your wishlist, take a look at this patina clad model and if bringing it back to show quality shine is your desire, there are lots of aftermarket companies that will gladly take your order for products that fit.
