The best of the best! Gorgeousone owner 1977 Chevrolet C/K 1/2 ton 4wheel drive short box Silverado pickup. The engine is a400backed by a 350automatic transmission,both have been rebuilt and perform flawlessly. The full time hubs were converted to locking hubs right after the truck was purchasedin 1977. The owner was a mechanic at the local Chevrolet dealership where he purchased the truck. The truck was the best you could get in 1977, power windows that work perfectly, cruise control that also works great, tilt wheel, power steering and brakes. The owner did not order the truck with power door locks. Dual gas tanks
In the late nineties the truck went through a full frame on restoration which looks as good today as it did right after the restoration as you can see from the photographs! The owner purchased new GM OEM front fenders and doors, did not want to install patch panels in the places where they typically rust out. The original box was replace by a 1987 box that the owner purchase from the forest service. The forest service removed the box from the truck and installed their own service box, the box was brand new, never used. The corners of the cab where they rust out were replaced as well. There is not a speck of rust anywhere on this truck with the exception where you have minor surface rust on the suspension parts which in minimal at best. The truck has spent most of its life in the garage after the restoration with fewer than 7K miles out on it. The truck was rarely driven after that and never in the rain or winter time.
The engine has less than 7,000 miles on it since rebuilt by a local engine shop here in the valley, transmission, bothfront and rear differentialsand suspension all have been rebuilt as well. The truck runs and rides beautifully for1977 pickup. I have the original carburetor/air filter housing and glove compartment insert that came with the truck. The insert still has a information sticker attached that came with the truck when new. I also have most of the receipts that the owner kept from work that was done to the truck during the time he had it, including the original bill of sale! There is other original paperwork that will come with the truck as well.
The glass is in excellent condition, the windshield had been replaced 3 times. The back sliding glass along with the door glass is still original, all in excellent condition. The door widows including wing windows has new window track and weather stripping installed, in perfect condition.
The pictures says it all about the interior which is perfect with the exception of the headliner which looks good but should be replaced someday. The interior was completely torn out, right down to the dash components and redone. All the wood grain is original and not touch, perfect condition. The dash and door panels were re-dyed to their factory color and they are flawless as well. New seat cushions and covers were installed along with carpet and some of the trim.
The bottom of the truck was hand scraped and wired wheeled then sprayed with undercoating as part of the resto as well. The box of the truck was sprayed with a zolatone coating which is a tough and forgiving coating. A rubber mat covers both the bedand tailgate
I believe this truck is truly one of the best looking and performing 1977 short box chevy trucks around that is mostly stock. The exterior colors are a PPG med blue poly and med gray poly that has been clear coated. I have the paint specs and formulas for the paint. I forgot to mention, there is still one original headlight that still works perfectly on the drivers side.
I have a lowreserveon the truck. Thanks for looking!
