1979 Chevrolet K10 Bonanza

This 1979 Chevrolet K10 Bonanza 4x4 pickup is presented with 25,348 original miles and has been owned by the same family since new, undergoing a repaint in 2015 and powered by a numbers-matching 350ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case. Equipment includes factory air conditioning, a ComfortTilt steering wheel, and full gauges. Finished in two-tone Camel Brown and Neutral Tan over a saddle vinyl interior, this third-generation C/K-Series K10 is now offered in New York with an owner’s manual, a Service Parts Identification sheet, and a clean Indiana title in the seller’s name.

The C/K-Series of General Motors pickups were referred to as the Rounded Line beginning in the model year 1973, and in 1979 the front fascia underwent a facelift that incorporated additional chrome. This K10 has a regular cab fleetside body configuration and was resprayed in 2015, reportedly retaining its original steel body with good panel fitment. The exterior offers Bonanza trim, with brightwork for the front and rear bumpers, moldings, side view mirrors, and custom dual polished exhausts exiting below the rear bumper. The interior of the bed is coated in a spray-in bed liner material.

Steel 15” wheels with polished trim rings are wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler 33” raised-white-letter all-terrain tires. Handling is assisted by power steering and power brakes, with discs up and locking hubs up front.

The interior is equipped in Bonanza trim with saddle vinyl bench upholstery and matching materials for the headliner, door panels, and carpeting, all of which are reported to be in good original condition. Amenities include air conditioning and Soft Ray tinted glass. The seller notes that the air conditioning does not blow cold and the original AM radio is not operational.

Instrumentation is framed by a ComfortTilt steering wheel and includes a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for voltage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 25,348 miles, which the seller states is a true original reading.

The numbers-matching small-block 350ci V8 resides in a tidy, original engine bay and has had the catalytic converter deleted. Power is fed to all four wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
