1978 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe

Yup, not much more than a week after picking up my ‘80 C10, I also found this one on marketplace just up the road from me, not even two miles away! It’s rough, but fairly complete, and best of all was only $200! I wasn’t going to pass on a 2wd shortbed for that price.

It has been sitting for a while, but apparently it drove to where it was parked. I’m not sure I believe that, but it does appear intact enough under the hood that it’s possible.

This is how I found it.





Pulled it out of its hole!





Surprisingly, all the tires held air but one (couldn’t get the bead to seat again), so I swapped it with a spare I had.





The core support identifies the truck as a 305 unit, but apparantly it’s been swapped out for a straight 6 sometime in its life, backed by a TH350.



Loaded on the trailer!



The GVWR is 5300lbs, so it’s not a Big 10, but it does still have a 12 bolt rear axle and the thicker spring pack.





She’s home, time to clean her up!
