Restored Silver K10 is a Class Act
Nevada-based Chevy K10 is all original with nearly 80,000 well-travelled miles on the odometer.
Before Bob Seger lent his battle-hardened voice to sing its praises, the Chevrolet C/K trucks stood on their own merits of toughness. These trucks worked hard all over the country, from the oil fields of North Dakota and Texas, to the construction sites of Houston, Los Angeles, and New York. No fuss, no muss, just all around solid reliability.
They also clean up nicely. For example, behold this Eighties time machine Hemmings found residing in the silver state of Nevada.
This silver 1983 K10, restored by Al’s Rod and Custom in Sparks, Nevada, doesn’t need a gold watch in its glove box, not when it has a sprayed-in bedliner ready to take on whatever job needs the room. You won’t have to worry about scratching the bed or keeping this beauty in a bubble.
Meanwhile, the blue interior looks as fresh as it did so long ago, from the cloth bench seats, to the analog gauges surrounded by a brushed aluminum dash panel. If this doesn’t take you back to riding with your dad to the farmer’s market, we don’t know what will.
We’re not sure what’s under the hood beyond V8 power, but it could be anything from the five-liter 305 to the 7.4-liter 454 big block. These engines provided plenty of torque to pull the heaviest of loads, and with all four wheels applying that power to the ground, we’re pretty sure a few tree stumps left the earth from all that grunt.
And the best part of this K10? It looks practically like it did when it first left the lot in the early 1980s. From the rust-free white steelies and Chevy dog-dish caps, to the straight body panels and perfect silver paint, this is a truck that has stood the test of time, and has a few stories to tell.
