1979 Chevrolet C20 Classic Pickup – Arizona Rust-Free Survivor – Heavy-Duty Truck!
Up for sale is my 1979 Chevrolet C20 heavy-duty pickup truck. This is a classic single-cab, long-bed, rear-wheel-drive truck with an automatic transmission and approximately 148,823 miles showing on the odometer.
The biggest selling point of this truck is its exceptionally well-preserved, rust-free body and frame!
This truck spent its life in Arizona's dry climate, which has helped preserve the original metal. There is ZERO body rot, only very minimal surface rust, and no major body damage. Finding a 47-year-old Chevrolet C20 with such solid original body panels and frame is becoming increasingly difficult, especially compared with trucks exposed to decades of snow, road salt, and moisture.
Vehicle Highlights:
- 1979 Chevrolet C20 heavy-duty pickup
- Single cab, long bed
- Rear-wheel drive
- Automatic transmission
- Approximately 148,823 miles showing
- Arizona-preserved, rust-free body
- No body rot or major body damage
- Extremely solid frame with minimal surface rust
- Primarily original body panels
- Repainted twice throughout its lifetime
- Replacement engine in excellent running condition
- Automatic transmission shifts smoothly
- Heavy-duty C20 suspension
- Rear airbag suspension assistance, allowing adjustment for ride height and additional load support
- Runs, drives, and functions very well
- Overall cosmetic condition approximately 6/10
Mechanical Condition:
The engine has been replaced and is in excellent running condition. The truck starts, runs, drives, and shifts great! It is a very enjoyable classic pickup that can be driven as it sits.
There are a few minor electrical glitches associated with the truck's age. The wiring could benefit from repairs or potentially a complete replacement to get everything dialed in properly. These issues do not prevent the truck from running and driving normally.
The truck does not appear to need any major mechanical work based on its current driving condition. With some electrical attention and cosmetic improvements, this could become an even nicer example of a classic Chevrolet square-body pickup.
Heavy-Duty Suspension and Utility:
Unlike the lighter-duty C10, the C20 was designed for more demanding hauling and work applications. This truck features heavy-duty suspension components along with rear airbag suspension assistance, allowing the rear suspension to be adjusted for different loads and helping maintain proper ride height.
Whether you're looking for a classic work truck, weekend cruiser, restoration project, or a solid foundation for a custom build, this C20 offers tremendous potential.
Why This Truck Is Special:
The greatest advantage is the Arizona-preserved metal. Rust repair can be one of the most expensive and time-consuming parts of restoring an older truck. With this C20, you're starting with an exceptionally solid body and frame rather than dealing with rotted floors, cab corners, bed panels, or extensive structural rust.
The truck is approximately 47 years old, and finding one with this level of original metal preservation is a major advantage.
Price and Contact Information:
I'm open to reasonable offers and motivated to find the truck a good home. All reasonable offers will be considered!
You're welcome to call me directly with any questions, to discuss the truck, or to arrange a time to see it in person.
