                                                           Up for sale is my 1978 K-10 4X4 Short Bed Scottsdale. Original mileage is 43087 Dual Tanks.

 The motor was rebuilt before I bought it and has approximately 600 miles on it.

I'm the fourth owner of the truck. The first two owners was kept in the family. 

This is what I have done since in my possession.

When I first bought the truck the engine was painted blue, now that great if it's a ford. But since it's a Chevy I made some changes.

I removed all accessories to include alternator, intake, power steering pump, water pump, pulleys, belts and brackets, hoses etc etc.

I wire wheeled the block and heads and painted it Chevy orange with POR-15 (while inside the bay I didn't remove the engine to do this, not a perfect job. But looks pretty good. 


What is nearly brand new is the following probably less than 100 miles.

Water pump

Black powder coated alternator

Black powder coated power steering pump

Nascar Edition Black powder coated intake

Gooseneck

Chevy Dress Kit to include Air cleaner and valve covers

Distributor

Cap, plug, and wires

Fuel pump

All Pulleys

All belts

All hoses

Headers

Fan

Alternator bracket

Power steering bracket

New Battery

New oil pan

New Transmission pan

I have a brand new set of transmission lines that haven't been installed. As you can see from one of the pictures there is a piece of hose where the line broke. This was like that when I bought it and it works but it's not right so I bought new lines just need to be installed.

Now I'm not 100% sure if the entire engine (block heads)is original to the truck, I didn't do the rebuild so I can't answer that.

To my knowledge the transmission or the transfer case hasn't been rebuilt.

The seat is original and has no tears or rips.

Has a rear sliding window. Tint needs to be redone (like that when I bought it)

Has a spray in bedliner

Headlights work

Wipers work

Speedometer works

Outside turn signals work

Brake lights work 


Now that we have talked about the good stuff lets talk about what it needs.

There was a cd player in it I removed that and bent the knob tabs back into place with intent of buying a retro style radio with mp3.

The door panels look kind of ruff was going to get them replaced at one point.

The major issue is the electrical plug for the dash has a broken tab. I have a replacement for it, so it will need to be installed. I discovered this when I went to change the bulbs in the dash. This was also the reason why the second fuel indicator never worked (has duel tanks). So without this being fixed there is no way the fuel gauge will work. The dash turn signals and anything dash related wont work.

Blower motor looks to be out.

Sliding window latch will need to be replaced.

I think I covered everything but If I missed something I'll make a revision.

Driving the truck is up to you depended on how far were you going would depend on whether I would drive it or not. It drives great I had on the highway at 80 mph today.

Inspection of the truck is by appointment only.

Thanks for looking

Weekly Recap: GM plans massive new paint shop at Chevy Corvette factory

Sat, May 23 2015

General Motors is laying out some serious green to maintain the Chevy Corvette's expansive color palette. The automaker is breaking ground on a new paint shop this summer that's part of a $439-million investment to upgrade the 34-year-old Bowling Green, KY, factory that builds the Stingray. The massive new structure will total 450,000 square feet, nearly half the size of the current 1-million square-foot facility. Construction is expected to take two years and won't impact Corvette production. The upgrades include new robots that save paint and create a better finish, longer, more efficient ovens to bake in the finish, and LED lighting. There's also a dry scrubbing booth technology with a limestone handling system that eliminates waste. GM has invested $135 million in the factory in last four years for the changeover to build the C7 and to relocate its Performance Build Center to Bowling Green. The improvements continue to modernize the Kentucky factory, which has become a tourist attraction in its own right, as more than 56,000 enthusiasts visited it last year. The upgrades are part of a $5.4-billion investment GM confirmed in April that will remake its US footprint in the next three years. The Bowling Green expansion underscores GM's continued commitment to the Corvette, which sold nearly 38,000 copies around the world last year, an eight-year high. "With this major technology investment, we can continue to exceed the expectations of sports car buyers for years to come," North American manufacturing manager Arvin Jones said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Takata recall hits 34 million vehicles The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expanded the Takata airbag recall to an almost unthinkable 34 million vehicles on Tuesday. The recall is part of an agreement reached by the two sides where Takata admitted some of its airbag inflators have a defect, and the deal compels the company to comply with all future regulatory actions and investigations. Takata's airbag inflators were produced with "a propellant that can degrade over time" and lead to ruptures, NHTSA said. Six deaths have been attributed to the flaw worldwide. Investigations conducted by Takata, automakers, and others have not determined the exact cause of the inflator problem, but NHTSA said moisture appears to alter the propellant's chemical structure. It then ignites too rapidly, creates too much pressure that ruptures the inflator, and blasts shards of metal at passengers.
