Description

1977 Chevy C10 Silverado LWB – Thoroughly redesigned from stem to stern, the all-new third generation C/K trucks for 1973 proved to be the longest lived series in Chevrolet’s history and the three-box styling has proved quite popular since. Aside from wheels and hubcaps, there really wasn’t much that was round anywhere in the design other than the body sides that featured a sculpted character line with a central plateau panel as well as curved side glass, a first on a GM truck. Trim lines were also revamped, ranging from the entry-level Custom to the Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne and top-end Cheyenne Super. They were shuffled for 1975, with the Scottsdale moniker replacing the Cheyenne Super as the top-of-the-line package, while the Custom series was deleted. The next year, Chevy was back up to four trim lines with the addition of the Silverado at the top of the series. By and large, this remained the trim hierarchy for the remainder of series production.

What makes this C10 unique is that it features a recent cosmetic restoration, has a very original look, is the highly desirable Mariner Blue/White color combo, it drives GREAT, and has only 113k miles from new! Any one of those highlights make for a great find but when you put all 5 together, you have a truck that you definitely don’t want to pass up. The repaint is extremely good, is the original color scheme, and shows nicely for a daily-drivable, 1/2 ton truck. The body is straight and there is no signs of body filler. We love the addition of the period-correct AudioVox Radio, Autogauge Tach and CB Radio! By far the best feature of this particular truck is the way it drives. We take each vehicle on a 50 mile round trip drive and this C10 really impressed us. Everything works like it should and the truck starts, handles, steers, and brakes almost as good is it did when new. It only needed an A?C service so we completed one and installed a new compressor. A complete list of features and options includes; 454 V8, Auto, 2wd, A/C, Tachometer, AudioVox AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Vinyl Bench Seat, Bedrails, CB, Dual Exhaust, Rubber Floormats, Power Steering & Brakes, Power Windows & Locks, Tilt Steering, Soft Ray Tinted Glass, Woodgrain Interior Trim, Vent Windows, Chrome Bumpers/Mirrors/Grille, 15″ Factory Hubcaps, and Thick Cooper 235/75/R15 White Wall Tires! This is a lot of truck for the money and compared to the newer Chevys, this Silverado has a lot more character than anything you’ll find under $25k!
