1978 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Pickup
This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed Pickup has been tastefully restored and upgraded to deliver classic square-body styling with the performance of a Chevrolet Big Block V8. Finished in a desirable Black-on-Black color combination, this C10 features a 454 cubic-inch V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning, and modern wheels, making it an excellent blend of classic appearance and everyday drivability.
The exterior has been professionally refinished in Gloss Black and updated with a new front grille, headlights, chrome front and rear bumpers, refreshed trim, and new badging. The cargo bed has been protected with a durable black bed liner and is covered by a snap-on tonneau cover. Completing the truck’s aggressive stance are staggered 20-inch US Mag Bullet wheels wrapped in performance tires.
The interior has been refreshed in Black and features a factory-style bench seat, new carpeting, updated instrument panel, three-spoke Chevrolet steering wheel, air conditioning, modern seat belts, and an upgraded Kenwood audio system with JVC door speakers, 12-inch subwoofer, and amplifier.
Power comes from a Chevrolet 454 cubic-inch Big Block V8 equipped with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, Comp Cams valve covers, and a finned air cleaner assembly. The engine is paired with a Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission operated through the factory column shifter. Exhaust is routed through performance headers into a custom 3-inch stainless-steel dual exhaust system.
Power is delivered through a GM 12-bolt rear differential. The truck retains an independent front suspension with coil springs and a rear leaf spring suspension. Braking is provided by power-assisted front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, and a dual master cylinder, while power steering provides improved maneuverability.
