1983 C-10 Yard Find!!

Picked up a 1983 C10 from a friend, that has been sitting for 10 years.
It is a straight 6 250 with a TH350. It will be a great work truck!
Enjoy.

1983 was the last year for the windshield wiper switch on the dash & the high beam low beam switch on the floor. In 1984, both switches were moved up to the steering column. Those square body models were built from 1973 - 1991 except the plain cab pickups "half ton & three quarter ton models only" were finished in 1987, & the one ton plain cab pickups & medium duty models were finished in 1989.

1984 was the last year for the 250 inline six. In 1985, a new base 4.3 litre V6 was introduced which replaced the previous 250 inline six.

@@SunrayGarage what makes that pickup there unique is 1983 was the first year for the grille, headlight bezels, & front blinker lights with those designs, & the last year for the wiper switch on the dash & the high beam low beam light switch on the floor.

I wish they still made standard work trucks maybe they would be affordable.
