80 Chevy K10 SWB
 

Well here is something that is far from a super car, but thought some of you may appreciate how original this is.

1980 Chevy K10 4x4 SWB. 350 4 speed Cheyenne package. 56,000 miles, most all original paint. Lifelong AZ truck. Complete owner history (original owner til 2019). Original interior, 8 track stereo, sliding rear window, A/C, & chrome bumpers.

I unloaded this off of the transporter a bit over a week ago. All I've been doing is driving this around til today. All I have done is change the fluids, tune on it a little, and enjoy.

I'll post some progress pics as I get through the truck. Wait til you see the bottom of this thing. I'll wait til I can get it on the lift for that.......

Day 2 4x4:hmmm:

Love it. Wouldn't change a thing!!

Although I am surprised to see the short radiator in this one.

Wow. Nice truck.

Nice truck!! I too would leave it as is also. Love the short bed trucks...

That's a totally neat one, inside and out! My uncle used to have a nice K10 back in the days and it was one of my fav back then. I'm visiting his garage soon for the installation of the shocks and brake pads plus tire mounting and balancing on his new Wrangler project. I'll see if he still got some photos of the old short bed.

I changed the wheels (more to my liking) and leveled out the rear suspension. Next, the #7 rub down and clean the bottom, engine compartment, etc. I'll realign the doors and replace the sagging rear cab mounts I suspect after that, I just run the wheels off of it.

Looks good with those wheels

Great looking truck Tim!

Love southern vehicles. They are so clean.
The slot wheels are a huge improvement, but, personally, I would have turned the white letters in.

Even better now. I didnt even notice the rear sag

5 slots look great!! Truck pop's with those on.

kool truck ,I have an 86 shortbed 4x4 I picked up out of barstow california ,I drive it every day . They are nice driving trucks. Thanks for posting pics of your truck.

Very nice Tim.
Now to find an old period correct weathered front Plow for it. :)

:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:

I love the stance and neat looks!

If it actually had a plow...I might buy it for clearing snow up here Tim. :-)

Who needs a plow, just push it with the bumper...:wink:

I saw this offering over on BaT. Looking at the pics of the BaT truck makes me appreciate how untouched mine seems to be.

WOW !!! Absolutely crazy that it never got driven ??? Stunning truck and I'm not a square body guy, but I would drive that.
Remember the Gentleman Jim series they had back then for 2 years ? I came very close to buying the blue one..'78-79, don't remember which year it was, but ended up buying an F150 with custom conversion paint and interior. Sorry to say, that was the last Ford I have ever owned. It was a Lemon, with the dog 400 and main bearing problems.

I just finished cleaning the bottom of the truck and gave it the usual Boshield treatment. I'm tickled with how it is coming out:cool2:

Hey nice truck! was looking for a square body a few years ago then found a really nice for Wisconsin 67 C10. What brand slots are those? Would like to get a set for my truck. Thanks.

They are made by US Mags. Summit has them.

Wow

Love it! We have the small wheels on our ‘71 K/5
Blazer! Great tough. Results look awesome so far

Thanks, I'll check that out.
