I’m not a truck guy but that C10 is just beautiful. I can’t imagine buying a vehicle that I’d be afraid to drive though. It wasn’t built to sit in a garage not moving. Having said that it might be best if a museum bought it, a place that would keep it pristine but where people could see and enjoy it.

[@karenthomson9749]

Exactly it’s a wasted car. Nothing more useless than a car that can’t be driven.

[@C10sRule]

True!! They need to get it out of the humidity and into a much drier storage facility. EG: The front sway bar had so much rust on it!! If I bought this truck it is going to cost me a lot of time to get all the rust accumulation removed and repainted. I would do it myself, so it wouldn’t cost much, but the time. Send it to a body shop and I see $10K or more. A lot of this truck will have to be dismantled and then put back together. Some of those parts would be much cheaper to just replace,,, every part of this truck is still available essentially, but then it’s no longer the same truck!! It’s worth maybe $60K. The truck is ultra low mileage, but wasn’t stored well. It’s affected a lot by the local environment.

I owned an 85 C10 that was grey and red two tone when I was a kid. I paid $1560 for it from a used car lot in my hometown. It was the first vehicle that I financed in my life. My dad had to sign the note with me and I think the payment was like $67 a month or something!! I loved that thing and it was nowhere even remotely close to excellent condition!! It’s wild how much those trucks have gone up in price since then. I’ve seen them without a drivetrain and rusted out with barely any interior left sell for what I paid for that running and driving truck in 2000 or 2001. I wish I’d have kept it!!

I drove a 67 442 my freshman year in 77. It was gold with a black vinyl top and interior. Unfortunately my father decided a 330 2 bbl and turbo 400 was better for a school car. Then came a 70 340 Cuda. Those were my favorite C10’s, especially the short stepside. The bad part is that the box side’s started to rust when you looked at them

[@DS-gv5fs]

My brother orders the same truck from the factory in 1985. Midnight blue....chevy offered the white spoked rims with the chrome beauty rings. He had the dual tanks. Other than that, exact same truck. He had it until 1997. I bought it from him and kept it until 2003 until it started rusted some and my ex wife bugged me to sell it. Other than cabs corners, it was still in beautiful shape. I LOVED THAT truck. I also had a 1987 Grand National that the same ex told me to get rid of since I barely ever drove it..... Never go against what you gut says and keep what you want.

For nearly all the cars that I have owned, there was a day that I wished I could have a new one, of the same. I only had one brand new car. My second car. - Now is 45 years since first car. If it was mine, I would drive and enjoy it. And try to preserve it as good as possible.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

My grandfather bought a 1982 Scottsdale, same as this, shortbed, vertical front bumper guards, but proper rear bumper, flat top, chrome, I don’t know what that bumper on the back of this truck is all about. My grandfather died in 1983 and the truck of course went to my dad, but really to my brothers and then in 1986 when I turned 15 it became my first car. We never did figure out if it was a 305 or a 350, as none of the stickers told that, and we weren’t keen enough at the time to figure it out from the VIN or whatever. But it was a Rochester Quadrajet, my grandfather had the cats removed, and made it dual exhaust with factory type mufflers. He didn’t want it too loud, but wanted power. And it was fast! Off the line if you tipped into it the back tires would light up before it started to slide sideways a bit. My dad had put wider tires on it to “handle a bigger payload”, and it looked like the proverbial bulldog. It was a red that was almost orange, and the lower part was silver/gray, with the same chrome belt trim as this Silverado. It had manual windows and door locks, but COLD A/C, and of course power steering and brakes. My grandfather knew what was needed and what was destined to fail, like power door locks and windows. Cruising along at about 30-40mph and hearing that Quadrajet kick down into WOT was music to the ears, and if it was wet, it just might cut loose from that speed. I got it sideways in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot during a light rain and always loved to hold it sideways as long as possible. Well, I held it too long, sideways down the entire corridor of parked cars, came around the “end”, and surprise, surprise, there was a mid-70’s Gran Prix right in my way. My right front hit the right rear of that car so hard it pushed that car across the next row and into another parking spot, knocking it some twenty feet plus. If cracked the tailight lense and dimpled the massive bumper on the Pontiac. The truck was caved in from the right front corner inwards. It was the hardest accident I have been in to date. My buddy and I both felt the live saving restraint of our seatbelts, otherwise we both would have been flung through the windshield and onto the pavement, and maybe the truck might have landed on us as it spun around, rear end in the air, stopping facing the opposite direction, as if it all happened in slow motion. My knuckles even hit the dash hard from steering wheel flex. We were both fine, but scared shitless. The truck was technically totaled but my dad declared he would rebuild it as it was greatly needed as a work truck, so it got rebuilt, ultimately rusting away by around 1994. A sad fate. Lots of awesome stories with that truck. A book’s worth. It looked the part, went the part, and did us right for years. I got it stuck to the rails and got it out with a come-along so many times, it’s unreal, even uprooting a few pine trees in the process. Only needed a tow once when both bumpers were resting on either side of a hole, no digging was working. That was ugly and almost ripped the front bumper off. The roof was the same color as the lower belt line too. A Scottsdale but not a step side. No hood ornament either. Warped a head once hauling concrete and did the work myself, had both heads shaved to flat and match, and boy did it haul ass after that compression ratio raise. I snuck in thin gaskets too without my dad catching on. Premium fuel was needed after that. Sometimes some octane boost during the summer. At one point my dad was sick of bald back tires. NHRA style burnouts didn’t help, but at Lowcountry Dragstrip, I smoked quite a few Camaros and Mustangs with super sticky tire launches, and admittedly gifted reaction times. Often there would still be rocks stuck in the tread even after the 20 mile drive home. The Colonel wasn’t too happy about that. I paid dearly but it was worth it! I think General Tire should have made my dad a stockholder at one point, as XP2000’s adorned both my Torino and the Scottsdale, p235/65R14 on the Torino, and 15 on the Chevy, and Sam’s Club knew me by name. “Back already?” “Again?” Yeah. Whoops. Seeing this truck was a step back in time to Ole Red. Thank you guys for showing this. When that truck got a rub down from me with good wax, it was damned pretty.

[@marcuscompton3772]

Thats not just an old cars compound, its a heaven for car guys😍😘

I think Chevy needs to bring this truck back. That’s what I think

[@juliothunderbird333]

Black on black is theBest and most sought after square body c/10 . My dad had one just like it in the mid 90’s and I’ve been trying to get one for myself every since.

That Silverado is just cherry! I had a 53 Bel-Air Thanks for sharing! ❤️💯

[@hermanprez]

I bought a new 1985 Chevy Silverado with two tone paint and just about every option. It was beautiful but had the 305 smog motor and the last carbureted engine so it was kind of a dog. Drove it until 1997 when I bought a new F-150 Lariat 4x4 with a mustang V-8. That thing was a rocket by comparison.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

It's only new like that once. I'm usually a drive it like it's meant to be, but this truck is very, very special.

[@karenthomson9749]

Nah mate it’s a truck, and up until now It’s been a waste. Hopefully it gets an owner that drives it!

[@ET74019]

I want a truck like that but dual tank, want one as a daily driver, such solid trucks

[@tipetu]

Dennis Collins would definitely buy that squarebody

[@OrthodoxPole81]

Absolutely stunning! I'm a Ford guy but I love this truck!

[@chriscraft77022]

I dont understand how those trucks get so BEAT UP.. those panels on the black 85 looked so perfect... I was brainwashed that they came from the factory with wavy sheet metal and were never perfect.. that truck is PRICELESS... maybe $100K thats the least i would sell it for

[@seanhoward8025]

I remember my dad passing on a ‘67 RS with a 327 and a powerglide from the original female owner for $750. My dad wanted a ‘69 with a manual. It was in Stockton, CA…so it was pristine! That was just before he passed on a 1957 190 SL that the guy wanted $4,000. It needed the fuel pump rebuilt and the place in Los Angeles wanted $350. He offered the guy $3,000 for it…but the guy wanted $3,500. My dad said, “Let him sit on it for a week”. When he called him back, someone else came along and gave him the $4k. I bought a brand new K10 loaded Silverado in 1984 for $13,500. Was yellow and white with a 350…even had the AM/FM with cassette. It was a pile of crap off of the lot. Pinged going up an overpass. Sold it for $8,500 and bought a Ramcharger. Much better truck than the GM crap back in the middle 1980s.

I have a group of delivery mile cars from Earl Trammel in my barn in Texas. Prob same guy he got this from. Come do an episode on them if you want. There were 24 units in the group

[@mrknotthall]

It needs to be a trailer queen. Once you put miles on it, the mystique and value plummets. Maybe drive it to a few good shows a year. Other than that, you need to keep it pristine. The guys that say they would drive it aren’t playing with a full deck.

That truck has to remain a trailer king.

Right now i have a 85 gmc sierra half ton shortbed with 52 k . Spare tire never been on the ground. Jack never been out and no rust ever. i bought it in Apache Junction AZ. I have it in Tucson and it is really hard to use it as a truck. The old 305 was shot because of lack of oil changes.. I put a 350 crate,290 hp engine in. I'm going to sell it but it's hard to put a value on it.

[@jeffcathline5431]

I love those 80's Chevy trucks. I had 4 of them my 87 was my favorite. 4x4 short bed black and silver two tone with red stripe😢

[@pangaute]

If any vehicle deserves to be in a museum it's that C10, where it can be appreciated by many

[@lawrenceveinotte]

In 1980 i totaled my dads 1980 Silverado, a couple weeks later my dad bought an 1981 custom 10, red, long box with a wood floor, white spoke wheels, black bucket seats, 305 4bbl, i have never seen another one with bucket seats.

[@operator91210]

Even if no public museum purchases this truck. General motors should step up and put it in their heritage museum. I know it's not exactly open to the public but I think it should be preserved by no other than the manufacturer that Built it in the first place.

[@BCBtrucks64]

aah these immaculate c10's and other short bed pick-up's that show up from the 80's are just amazing

[@middleclassretiree]

This guy saying the original buyer was kinda strange for sitting on this truck is priceless as he’s doing the same thing 😂

[@flashg67]

I worked as a “lot attendant” at a local used car in 1987 before I went in the USAF. We sold a lot of “Late Model” vehicles. I remember getting trucks like these on the lot. I’m in Western NC so back then it was common for many families to have a pickup truck for a second car. This one makes me think of a “Grandpa truck” the buyer was probably a member of the “Greatest Generation” finally hitting retirement and wanting themselves a “nice” pickup. I also saw quite a few “Bullnose” and “Bricknose” Ford’s ordered like this fully loaded single cab/ short box combo’s. The Dodge’s not as much.

[@jeffreid7272]

I worked as U/C lot attendant at Colonial Chevy in Norfolk, VA in '83....was there as they off loaded the first '84 Corvette. New car lot attendant burnt out clutch on one of those weird manual Corvette's. LOL

[@chriswilson9331]

I think its the best Truck Chevy ever made. My friends dad had one black like this one, with maroon interior, he used to take us to school in. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I was given the opportunity.

[@xapaiz]

Keep it stashed, you can buy a nice restored C10 to drive when you want. This needs to be at someone's garage or in a museum. It's an artifact of the past
