1978 Chevrolet C10 Big 10 Stepside Short Bed Pickup
Factory 454 Big Block V8 - Beautiful Original Condition - Long-Term
Family Ownership - Just 33,838 Miles Believed Actual!
We are proud to offer this beautiful 1978 Chevrolet C10 Big 10
Stepside Short Bed Pickup, a remarkably well-preserved example of
Chevrolet's legendary square-body pickup featuring the highly
desirable factory 454 cubic inch big block V8 engine!
Finished in a stunning black exterior with a beautiful red velour
interior, this exceptional truck has remained in remarkably
original, unmodified condition and represents a rare opportunity to
own a classic Chevrolet pickup that hasn't been extensively
restored or customized.
Sold new on April 26, 1978, by Winkels Chevrolet in Loogootee,
Indiana, this C10 was acquired by its longtime family owners in the
early 1980s and remained in their care until our recent purchase.
The family's pride of ownership is evident throughout this
exceptionally clean and well-maintained truck!
Under the hood is its original factory 454 cubic inch big block V8,
paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This was
Chevrolet's largest engine offering in its light-duty pickup lineup
at the time, making this Big 10 especially desirable among
square-body enthusiasts.
The truck is equipped with its original-style Chevrolet Rally
wheels, complete with trim rings and center caps, and has just
received a brand-new set of Cooper Cobra radial tires. A nice dual
exhaust system provides that unmistakable big block Chevrolet
sound!
The underside is exceptionally clean and rust-free, further
reflecting the outstanding care this truck has received throughout
its life.
The odometer currently displays just 33,838 miles, which the
longtime owning family represented to us as actual mileage. Due to
the vehicle's age, the title reads mileage exempt.
Adding to its outstanding originality and history, this truck comes
with its original owner's manual and original dealership delivery
paperwork, including the inspection form and factory warranty
booklet! These original documents provide a wonderful connection to
the truck's history dating back to its delivery in April 1978.
Finding a nearly 50-year-old Chevrolet pickup in this kind of
well-preserved, largely original condition is becoming increasingly
difficult, especially one with a factory 454 big block, desirable
Stepside short bed, beautiful black-and-red color combination,
decades of family ownership, and original delivery
documentation!
This is not your typical modified or restored square-body
Chevrolet! It is a beautifully preserved example of one of
America's most iconic pickup designs, featuring the biggest V8
Chevrolet offered at the time!
Whether you're a serious square-body collector or simply appreciate
an exceptional vintage Chevrolet pickup, this outstanding 1978 C10
Big 10 deserves your attention!
