-This 1979 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale 4×4 is a recently completed, documented frame-off restoration of a highly desirable squarebody short-bed pickup. Finished in blue with a Raptor-lined bed, this K10 combines classic Chevrolet 4×4 styling with a fully refreshed drivetrain, thoughtful rust prevention measures, and carefully executed interior and electrical updates, making it a compelling option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a properly sorted vintage four-wheel-drive truck.
- Squarebody Foundation: Chevrolet’s 1973–1987 C/K “squarebody” trucks are known for their straightforward mechanicals, strong frames, and off-road capability. The K10 short-bed configuration remains one of the most sought-after variants, valued for its proportions, trail readiness, and long-term collectability.
- Rebuilt Powertrain: Power comes from a rebuilt 350 cu.-in. Chevrolet V8 featuring a mild Comp Cams camshaft with matched valve springs, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, and a completely refreshed ignition system. Power is routed through a heavy-duty SM465 four-speed manual transmission and a gear-driven NP205 transfer case, both of which received new bearings, seals, and fresh fluids during the restoration.
- Chassis & Exterior: The truck rides on a 4-inch suspension lift with 35-inch Cooper Discovery tires, delivering the stance and clearance expected of a classic K10 4×4. The restoration included service to the front and rear differentials with new bearings and seals, new universal joints throughout the driveline, and rust prevention treatments using Ospho followed by Nason DTM primer/sealer. The short-bed features a durable Raptor bedliner finish.
- Interior & Electrical: Inside, all instrumentation is new and fully functional, showing correct mileage for the build. Wiring in the engine bay and under the dashboard was cleaned, repaired, and refreshed as needed, with additional provisions made for future upgrades, including a labeled tachometer lead and pre-run speaker wiring for subwoofers. A RetroSound two-knob radio with Bluetooth, satellite capability, and dual USB ports has been neatly integrated, along with all-new speakers. Vintage Air climate control adds modern comfort while preserving a classic look.
- Ownership & Documentation: Offered by a private-party seller, this K10 has approximately 79 miles of post-restoration shakedown driving, with mileage listed conservatively as TMU. The seller maintains two receipt books (originals and copies) along with a detailed photo album documenting the restoration, including metalwork performed on the floorboards. The truck is reported to be free of known issues and is offered with a clean title.
This 1979 Chevrolet K10 stands out for the depth and transparency of its restoration, from drivetrain servicing beyond the engine to documented rust prevention and clean electrical execution. The SM465/NP205 drivetrain, rebuilt small-block V8, short-bed 4×4 configuration, and thorough documentation make this a strong candidate for buyers seeking a squarebody that’s ready to enjoy while continuing to appreciate in value.
