THIS TRUCK AT FIRST GLANCE MAY APPEAR TO BE ANOTHER GENERIC '80'S GM PICKUP, BUT IT'S NOT. RARE CANADIAN BUILT TRUCK WITH FACTORY MUNCIE FOUR SPEED. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ONE WITH THE FACTORY FOUR SPEED? 1984 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE FOUR SPEED WAS AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION.  1984 WAS A MILESTONE YEAR FOR THE CHEVROLET TRUCK DIVISION. THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN WORKING SINCE 1973 TO REFINE THE THIRD GENERATION TRUCK, AND THE 1984-1987 MODELS REPRESENT THE VERY BEST OF THIS GENERATION. CHEVROLET UNDERSTOOD THAT SINCE 1967, THE PICKUP TRUCK WAS GRADUALLY BECOMING AMERICA'S EVERY DAY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. MORE AND MORE CONSUMERS WERE TRADING OFF THEIR CARS AND BUYING PICK UP TRUCKS, AND THEY RESPONDED WITH A WORK OF ART ON FOUR WHEELS. THIS IS A 1984 CHEVROLET C10 STEPSIDE TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. MILDLY BUILT SMALL BLOCK ENGINE. CLEAN, SOLID, DRIVER QUALITY TRUCK. PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOBUCKET FILE OF PHOTOS, AS WELL AS THE AD PHOTOS AND THE TEXT IN THE AD.

The Chevrolet C series trucks were built from 1960-1999. That is a 39 year production run. The C series was finally replaced by the Silverado in 1999. Chevrolet has been at the forefront of design and performance since the beginning. The 1960 model year introduced a new body style of light pick-up truck that featured many firsts. Most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame, allowing the cab to sit lower, and independent front suspension, giving an almost car-like ride in a truck. Also new for 1960 was a new labeling system for trucks made by GM. Gone were the 3100,3200, and 3600 designations. The Chevrolet was now a C series in two wheel drive and K in four wheel drive. The original C10 emblem on the 1960 version escalated to the C1500 as the generations developed.

A new, more modern look came in 1967, along with a new nickname: "Action Line". It was with this revision of the C/K truck that General Motors expanded the option list of comfort and convenience items to a vehicle line that had previously been for work purposes alone. This has been referred to as the Golden Age of Chevy Trucks. 1967 was the beginning of the nation's true love affair with trucks. It was no longer necessary to own both a car for recreation and a pickup for work. It was now possible to order any comfort and convenience option on the pickup. One vehicle now performed the duties of two! Finally, with the third generation platform, Chevrolet satisfied the needs of the progressive truck owners.

An all-new clean sheet redesign of General Motors' Chevrolet and GMC brand C/K-Series pickups debuted in mid-1972 for the 1973 model year. Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers before the first prototype pickups were even built for real world testing. The redesign was completely unique in appearance at the time, particularly the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of the era. Although revolutionary in 1973, by the mid eighties Chevrolet engineers realized a complete new redesign would be crucial. In 1984, Chevy made changes to the front end of the truck, the only major area of change in 15 years of production. Quadruple headlights were made optional. As stated previously, 1984 was also the first year the Muncie four speed transmission was made available. The design of the truck began to emphasize styling. These changes paved the way for the release of the revolutionary generation four model, known as the GMT400 platform. There was a seamless transition between the 3rd-generation and 4th-generation GM trucks, and the buying public realized this immediately. It is a success story that has transcended time, will continue beyond 2014.

The solid Southern body has been refinished in Dark Royal Blue paint. This is not a 100 point show truck. The finish is smooth and uniform, buffed to a decent gloss. Keep in mind that this is older paint that has some patina from age. Some minor body work has been done in a few areas. The very bottom area near the body lips on the cab corners. Also, there is a spot on the roof, on the rear driver's side that was slightly damaged and has been worked. There are photos in the Photo Bucket file displaying the issues. There are some minor driving chips and scratches that have been touched up. However, the body is rock solid.  Dual chrome sport mirrors. Tasteful pin striping has been applied on the doors and tail gate. Glass is in good shape all around. Bumpers are original and in good condition. Remaining trim and bright work  also in good condition. Sliding rear window. Weld style polished wheels. Falken ZIEX radial tires, P265/70R16. Oak bed in good shape. Tail gate opens and closes easily. Grille is in good shape.
