If you grew up during the 70sand#44; youll be relieved to know that Chevy trucks are finally getting their due for something that weve always known: theyre just flat-out cool. Basic and ruggedand#44; sureand#44; but also handsome in a leatheryand#44; hardened kind of way that is all business. Dressing them up with sinister black paint and adding a big block V8 sure helpsand#44; and in the case of this stepside bed/regular cab 1976 K10 4x4and#44; it shows that theres just no way to build an unattractive one. They ALWAYS look good. This nasty black stepside has been through a lot of changes in its life as a show and go vehicle. It probably never worked for a living and started as a garden-variety K10 4x4. Somewhere along the line it was upgraded to a mighty K30 heavy-duty duallyand#44; and more recentlyand#44; was toned down a bit to create the awesome off-roader you see here. As a black truckand#44; its got to be rightand#44; and someone spent plenty of time on the bodyworkand#44; so it looks good. The finish is modern urethaneand#44; so its tough enough for off-roading duty without worriesand#44; and if you really want this sucker to popand#44; a professional cut and buff would really make a difference. It also comes from down southand#44; so rust is a non-issue hereand#44; and even the bedand#44; which is in its natural stateand#44; shows no issues outside of some light scuffing that proves you can still use it as intended. After alland#44; it IS a pickup truckand#44; right? A black interior obviously works well with the black paintand#44; and the handsome vinyl bench seat is a throwback to the era when this truck was brand new. The upholstery is new and pretty accurately replicates when you might have received when you ordered a new upscale Silverado back in the 70s. And if youre looking aroundand#44; yesand#44; that is a 4-speed manual shifter in the center of the caband#44; along with the shifter for the 2-speed transfer case. The instrument panel is covered with a cool brushed metal applique that really brightens up the interior and surrounds the factory gauges. Matching door panels and black carpets also help with an upscale feel. Theres a new A/C system that remains fully operationaland#44; as well as a tilt steering column and an AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo that powers a set of 6x9 Planet Audio speakers behind the seat. Theres also a sliding rear window to keep it comfortable even on hot days and a removable dash pad to protect the dash. Originallyand#44; this truck was powered by a 350 cubic inch V8and#44; but not too long agoand#44; someone decided to drop in a thumping 396 cubic inch big block to really deliver the goods. Topped by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetorand#44; its a torqueyand#44; eager partner whether youre on-road or off. A few dress-up items give it a flashy look but the whole point of this truck isnt to look prettyand#44; as youve gathered by now. Theres a giant radiator up front to keep the big block from getting cranky and a custom Flowmaster exhaust system gives it a burly soundtrack to match its look. The chassis is pretty original and offers a mild lift on the suspensionand#44; which has a lot of original K10 hardware. A 4-speed manual gearbox feeds the original transfer case and axlesand#44; and with first gear being ultra-lowand#44; theres no mountain this nasty 4x4 cant climb. Black wheels complete the look and carry giant 37x12.50R16.5 Goodyear off-road radials that definitely look the part. So for you fans of bigand#44; burly 70s pickupsand#44; this one offers great looksand#44; big block V8 powerand#44; and a dash of practicalityand#44; too. Call now! |
