Heavy duty trucks the emission sticker goes on the air cleaner, because we EPA certify the engine.

Light duty trucks get the emission sticker on the rad support, because we EPA certify the vehicle.

Super nice truck. Amazing that 38-year old paint still shines.

You beat me to it! I used to drive a '87 C/6500 with a 366, it had emissions and vacuum hose routing stickers almost all the way around the air cleaner. The truck also had so many options it had 3 SPID labels.

Really nice K/30, and a unique year too. Glad it went to a good home.

Very very nice! I don't think the blue interior in dark grey truck is odd at all. What I find odd is not only is the truck a Silverado with radio delete, they ordered the in-windshield antenna. It was pretty uncommon to have a loaded Silverado with 4spd back then, too. The sport mirrors are standard equipment, not an option.

The original paint really does shine good. I’ll take a picture of the inside of the bed before I wax it, it’s pretty dang nice and hasn’t ever been waxed.

i scrapped a 80 k30 with 350/465/205 combo 12k trailer towing package . black with white inside and high back buckets with door speaker grills and factory tach .

sadly the rust belt had gotten to her bad . but the guy hardly ever used 4wd . i took the t-case and used its guts to build a 32 spline case and the syncro teeth were all almost like brand new . the axles went under a friends blazer . seats & console went to alaska .

Very nice and all original, just plain awesome! Original trucks are getting very scarce let alone one with low miles.

Re: 1980 K/30 with 9,434 miles

Beautiful truck! I have an 80 k30 I am going to restore. Mine is equipped very similarly to this truck. Mine has dual wheels though. I would love to see some more detailed pics of the engine bay because mine was a 350, but it was replaced with a 454. My k30 even has the engine oil cooler also!
