CARFAX Report

This 1979 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale 4×4 represents a recently completed, no-shortcuts frame-off restoration of one of the most respected squarebody pickups ever built. Finished in blue and configured as a short-bed K10, this truck pairs classic Chevrolet 4×4 design with a freshly rebuilt drivetrain, period-correct upgrades, and documented restoration work, making it a strong option for collectors, weekend drivers, or anyone looking for a properly sorted vintage four-wheel-drive truck.

Squarebody Roots: Introduced during the golden era of Chevrolet’s C/K series, the 1973–1987 “squarebody” trucks are prized for their durability, simplicity, and off-road capability. The K10 short-bed configuration remains one of the most desirable variants, combining manageable proportions with true four-wheel-drive hardware.
Powertrain & Driveline: Power comes from a completely rebuilt 350 cu.-in. V8 fitted with a mild Comp Cams camshaft and matched valve springs, topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake. A heavy-duty SM465 four-speed manual transmission sends power through a gear-driven NP205 transfer case, a combination known for strength and reliability in off-road and towing applications.
Exterior & Chassis: The truck rides on a 4-inch suspension lift with 35-inch Cooper Discovery tires, giving it the stance and clearance expected of a classic K10 4×4. Dual fuel tanks are retained, and the frame-off restoration included extensive replacement and refurbishment of components throughout the chassis.
Interior & Comfort: Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with all-new instruments showing correct mileage for the build, along with a RetroSound two-knob radio offering Bluetooth and satellite capability paired with new speakers. Vintage Air climate control adds modern drivability without compromising the truck’s classic character.
Ownership & Condition: Offered by a private-party seller, this K10 has traveled approximately 79 miles since completion, with mileage listed conservatively as TMU. The seller reports a clean title, extensive documentation including receipts, and a detailed photo album covering the restoration process.

This 1979 Chevrolet K10 stands out for its documented frame-off restoration, correctly matched drivetrain, and thoughtful upgrades that improve usability while respecting the truck’s squarebody heritage. The SM465/NP205 combination, rebuilt small-block V8, and short-bed 4×4 layout make it both mechanically desirable and increasingly collectible, especially as well-restored squarebodies continue to gain market traction.
