1980 K/30 with 9,434 miles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 07-29-2018, 10:07 PM

I just bought this 1980 K/30 with 9,434 original miles. Totally original, Even all 5 tires. 100% original paint. Loaded up with cool options, except it’s a radio delete. This thing is amazing! I can’t believe I was able to get it. Perfect addition to my collection.

All i can say is WOW!!!!

Greenlee · 07-29-2018, 10:54 PM

Wow. You have some really awesome trucks! What’s the story on the low miles? When I see one like this I always wonder how it could survive so long without being driven.

**IronCanine** · 07-29-2018, 10:55 PM

She's a jewel. Well bought and a worthy addition to an all star group. You know I love it.

GM72K10 · 07-30-2018, 06:01 AM

Very Nice!

Congrats on a heckuva great find!

Curious on the backstory if you have any of the details.

**TKCR** · 07-30-2018, 06:27 AM

It's beautiful!!

One thing I had to giggle about though, is the color combos they used back in the day. Charcoal with blue interior? Much like the Red with burgundy interiors.

It is awesome though!! I can't quit staring at the photos.

**57NAPCO** · 07-30-2018, 06:34 AM

You've done it again, congratulations on another outstanding addition to your one of a kind collection. Good job.

Good eye, I was already looking for an nos one to replace it 😉

WOW! Not many out there 38 years old with less than 10,000 miles. Odd interior/exterior color combo.

Very nice find

Very nice find

Thanks, the color combo was actually one of the things I liked. I love blue interior

Jeepwm69 · 07-30-2018, 02:42 PM

**kwmech** · 07-30-2018, 03:07 PM

Nice truck, ---- now I hate you

77BBGMC · 07-30-2018, 08:05 PM

Wow!

**jocko** · 07-31-2018, 09:46 AM

Nice one Joe! Congrats. Agree, I like that color combo - quite uncommon I’d imagine. Blue probably my favorite interior color also, especially in the square years. The only downside I can see is that you can never drive it more than 566 miles or it will roll over into 5 digits on the odometer.

I agree 100%. That blue interior is the perfect complement for the all business gray exterior. It would be very interesting to know what the thought process will was for the person checking off the option sheet. With the sport mirrors, it's like a very well optioned, super capable cruiser. But no radio! So cool though.

I enjoyed seeing it - thanks for sharing. Would you mind showing us any little things like that hub label that you change to bring it up to the level that you want? It would be fun to see.

Beautiful find, one ? thought. I thought they didn't put the emissions stickers on the air cleaner until the late 80s. Anyone know if that's original?
