Re: 1979 chevy c20 winchester special edition
If it's 4x4 it's a K20, not C20. I'd look on Chuck's Chevy Truck for specs on it, they have just about every random model GM ever made for this body style. Can't say I've ever heard of one though. Good luck.

Re: 1979 chevy c20 winchester special edition
Winchester trucks was a company out of Ritzville, Washington. In the late 80s and early 90s they took 73-80 GM trucks, blazers and suburbans and restored them from the ground up and sold them with warranties. Every thing was new except the cab, frame and axles, everything else was rebuilt or brand new. The body parts were new GM sheet metal and the drivtrains were new GM engines and transmissions. I still see a few running around spokane. The "winchester special edition" is NOT a GM edition.

I also have a framed original letter signed by the President o Winchester, telling that the original owner purchased the truck in 1973 for a certain price, and that Winchester replaced the exact unit for the same price! All the best hager |

Re: 1979 chevy c20 winchester special edition
The latest model of chevy looks incredible. It is a monster truck, just wondering if the engine of your truck is functioning well. People planning to get good bargains on spam url removed by staff, or perhaps a GMC, should get to a car dealership before the end of Oct. GM made a few too many pickups, and for that reason wants to get rid of as many as possible.

Re: 1979 chevy c20 winchester special edition
At first i thought maybe the Winchester Repeating Arms Company released a limited edition truck back in the day. That is why i like this message board you always learn something new here.

Re: 1979 chevy c20 winchester special edition
Holy CRAP! I grew up in Othello, WA and I don't think I've EVER seen one of these trucks...that is, if they look any different. Nor have I heard of the company in Ritzville.
