1979 Chevy C10 SWB (Big 10): This a true barn find I found out in California when I was recently out there looking for SWB C10 trucks. Unfortunately I have too many projects going and I need to let this one go. Though General Motors offered a number of special edition pickups during the 1970s, including the Beau James, the Gentleman Jim and the Amarillo, the Chevrolet Big 10 ranks as the most recognizable of the bunch. The base engine was a six single engine rated at 110 horsepower. Buyers could order a high-output 350 cubic-inch V8 from the Corvette or even a big-block. A beefed F44 chassis handled the optional extra power and tape stripes and decals identified the pickup from the outside.This particular truck has the 350 V8 option. The Big10 version of this pickup is rare to find in a SWB (short wheel based) C10. The word “patina” is abused these days to basically describe a rusty vehicle in most cases. This truck really has true/original, good-looking patina in the truest form of the word. Clear California title (pink slip). Rust free truck. Runs. Great project truck.
