1981 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe
The truck goes straight down the highway without pulling. It will cruise along the open road at 70mph without a problem. The power steering works well. The power front disc and rear drum brakes work well.
The engine doesn't smoke, starts right up and runs well (see video below). It just passed Arizona emissions which should be good for two more years.
I just drove it up the mountains loaded to capacity to northern AZ this July with no problems. I drove it in 110 degree heat all over Phoenix,AZ without any issues. It does drip a couple of drops of engine oil from the oil pan when sitting and probably needs a new oil pan seal. The transmission shifts well and has a transmission cooler.
The truck has the original hubcaps, owner's manual and even the original jack. The interior is clean and isn't butchered. All the gauges and lights work. The heater, defrost and vents work. (This Custom Deluxe model did not come with air conditioning.) It still has the original rubber floor mat and the old style "two knob" radio. The bench seat has a cover on it. The body is a little dinged up, but looks good overall.
Recent work:
I got this as a father/son project in Scottsdale, AZ from a man who acquired it from his grandfather. We removed all the grandpa gear (toolbox etc.) The truck appears to have been well-cared for. It has been a great project to teach my kids some basic mechanics. I wanted to keep it for my oldest son, but my wife wants him to have airbags.
Please email me if you have questions or would like to take a look at it.
