1979 GMC K10 High Sierra 15: An all-new clean sheet redesign of General Motors’ Chevrolet and GMC brand C/K-Series pickups débuted in mid-1972 for the 1973 model year. Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers before the first prototype pickups were even built for real world testing. The redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups looked like nothing else on the road. The third-generation trucks are colloquially known as the “Square-body” or “Box-body” generation.

We search the US daily for clean, mechanically sound, original Chevy/GMC trucks and locating them is no easy task. When we located this very clean, highly optioned and great driving short bed High Sierra in CA, we jumped on the opportunity to purchase it.  We purchased this GMC from a gentleman who had owned it since early 1981 and kept the build sheet and complete service records. This K10 has been recently restored and careful attention was taken to keep it looking as original as possible. The two-tone Blue & White paint paired with good chrome trim and a new set of BF Goodrich 33 x 12.5 tires give this K10 a lot of curb appeal. The interior, paint, chrome, tires and engine bay are all in excellent condition. Even better than its great looks is the drive-ability of this classic Chevrolet. As the owner of the dealership, I have personally put several miles on this truck and it drives great around town and on the highway. The A/C blows cold and everything works like it should. Features and options include; 350 V8, Auto, 4WD, A/C, Spray-in Bedliner, Chrome Mirrors & Bumpers, Added Aux Fuel Tank, Power Steering & Brakes, Alpine AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Alpine EQ, Original Owners Manual, Tilt Steering, Tinted Glass, Vent Windows, Rubber Floor Mats, Tow Package, Tire Tools, Spare Tire, 15” Rally Wheels, and NEW BF Goodrich Raised White Letter 33×12.5 R15LT Tires! The industry experts at NADA already value this truck at $23,065 and Hagerty Guides comes in a little stronger at $36,600. Each passing day these trucks become harder to find and are constantly increasing in value. Don’t let this one slip away from you!
