1978 CHEVROLET K-10

OVERVIEW

This restored 1978 Chevrolet K-10 is powered by a rebuilt 400ci small-block V8 backed by a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Features include four-wheel drive, power front disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a five-inch suspension lift, and a digital AM/FM/cassette stereo. Finished in Rare Copper over a black vinyl interior, this K-10 is available now and comes from the selling dealer with a copy of a clear Virginia title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The exterior was repainted in Rare Copper approximately 5 years ago. Features include chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, dual folding side mirrors, tinted windows, aftermarket side steps, a short fleetside bed, Rhino Linings bed lining, a snap-on vinyl tonneau cover, a sliding rear cab window, and dual fuel tanks.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of new 15" x 10" Raceline polished aluminum wheels is wrapped in 36x14.50R15 Denman Ground Hawg II radial tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The bench seat is upholstered in black vinyl. Features include manual windows, power steering, power brakes, a floor-mounted transfer case shifter, factory air conditioning, a column-mounted automatic shifter, and a Kenwood digital AM/FM/cassette stereo with an Alpine equalizer.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

A 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage are mounted ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 27,421 miles but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Power is provided by a rebuilt 400ci small-block V8 that has reportedly been bored 0.030 over. That comes paired with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Underhood features include a blue engine block, valve covers, and intake; a black closed-element air cleaner; and cast iron exhaust manifolds. According to the selling dealer, this truck was recently inspected and serviced.

UNDERCARRIAGE

This K-10 was factory-equipped with a part-time four-wheel-drive solid front axle and a solid rear drive axle. The suspension has been modified with a five-inch lift and Bilstein shocks. Braking is provided by power front discs and rear drums. A full-length dual exhaust system exits at the rear. Additional photos of the undercarriage can be seen in the carousel to the right.
