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!
