1982 Chevrolet C-10 Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-Door Additional Info:

Pickup trucks may very well be this generation's muscle cars. V8 power, rear-wheel-drive, rugged mechanicals, and inexpensive to purchase and upgrade, they're great vehicles that open a lot of opportunities for the hobbyist. This 1982 Chevrolet C10 pickup is a fine example, with a few muscle car-like upgrades and a lot of style for a bargain-basement price.If you want a muscle truck, the short bed/regular cab combination is what you want. Compact, maneuverable, and relatively light, it puts traditional performance into a manageable package that you can use every day. The stealthy white paint job looks pretty darned good, and is obviously a recent respray that keeps the truck's working-class character intact. There's no sign that this was ever a rusty vehicle, and the bodywork looks factory-grade no matter where you look. C10s are popular with truck enthusiasts thanks to their square-jawed good looks, and this one is no exception, with that custom billet grille, clear LED taillights, and a cowl-induction hood, all of which make it look like a performer rather than a hauler. The bumpers look original with a nice shine, the compact side mirrors add a sporty feel, and the bed offers a new sprayed-in bedliner that will outlast us all. Just consider this a muscle car with the world's biggest trunk, one that doesn't mind going to Home Depot on the weekends.The interior remains pretty original and true to the truck's 1980s sensibilities. The dark blue upholstery is a great contrast to the white paint and the seat cover on the original bench is probably newer. On the other hand, the carpets are original so there's some discoloration but their overall condition suggests a truck that's led an easy life. There's a full array of gauges for the driver and a modern AM/FM/CD stereo has been installed in place of the original radio and powers custom speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers behind the seat. Newer carpets enhance the luxurious interior, yet you'll appreciate the no-frills attitude that mirrors the fastest and nastiest of history's muscle cars. A Grant GT steering wheel enhances the sporty feel and you'll appreciate the custom door panels with more built-in speakers, plus power windows and locks. There's factory A/C but it's not operational at the moment, but you will enjoy the sliding rear window which makes it a pleasant place to be even on warm days.Chevy's robust 350 cubic inch V8 lives under the hood, and delivers entertaining performance in the lightweight pickup truck body. Fortified with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, and HEI ignition system, it's a fantastic runner once it's warmed up. A few chrome dress-up items are in place and with a good deep cleaning, this engine bay could really sparkle. A recent alternator is evidence of regular maintenance, and it offers a great soundtrack from the Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The underside is also original, but this truck comes from down south, so it's no rust bucket. You also get a slick-shifting TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a heavy-duty 10-bolt rear end, which carries highway gears to make this an easy cruiser. 20-inch Eagle alloy wheels give it an awesome look and carry 255/45/20 performance radials.So don't fret about not being able to afford a vintage GTO. This pickup delivers similar thrills for a bargain price, just like that GTO did back in the day. Call today!
