Description

1982 Chevrolet Pickup owned this truck for appx 5 years or more and it has been a good truck for me. I bought it from a older man who still had a camper on it and hub caps and the odometer shows 82,366. He had the motor completely rebuilt, and put a R V cam in it 1 step up from factory, and told me it ha appx 40 thousand miles on it and I put appx 10,000 on it since I've owned it.

When I got it I pretty much went thru it from front to back and underneath and replaced everything to make it dependable for my shop truck. The motor is a 305 or 350 that runs great. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, fuel pump, 2 brand new gas tanks, tune up, battery lately, new distributor appx a year ago, all new hoses, belts, valve cover gaskets lately, new dual exhaust with turbo mufflers out the side of the rear that sounds good.

I just put a Brand New Air Conditioning System that blows ice cold with a new blower motor and relays. The heater works fine, I also just replaced the power steering pump and high pressure line. The transmission is a 700R4 OVER DRIVE automatic that I changed the fluid and filter in when I got it going appx 10,000 miles ago.

I went thru the brakes and bought Brand new calipers, pads, rotors, shoes, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, and I bought all new wheel bearings, seals and etc. Also has new shocks all the way around. I added a set of 15' factory Rally wheels and painted them but I the caps and beauty rings I bought new.

The tires are Yokohama's and they don't have many miles on them at all. I replaced the wind shield and rubber gasket and all the glass is good except passenger window has scratches from his dog riding with him. Truck still has original paint and a good body for being 39 years old and would look good if you just cleared over the original patina but I liked it the way it is.

Just added new chrome body molding all the way around. The body is straight other then some dings and the lower cab corner on the passenger side.

Classic Chevrolet C/K Series Buyer's Guide (1960–1987)

When Chevrolet reorganized its truck lineup in 1960, the letters C and K became the foundation of an American institution. C for conventional two-wheel drive, K for four-wheel drive — simple, clear, and enduring. For twenty-seven years, the C/K series covered everything from half-ton haulers to one-ton workhorses across three distinct styling generations. If you're looking at a Chevrolet truck from this era and it isn't specifically labeled C10 or K10 in the listing, the buying principles here apply across the whole family.

What to Check Before Buying

✓

Frame rail inspection — Probe full length of both rails with screwdriver — kick-ups and mid-section

✓

Cab corners — Tap from outside; inspect lower door channel from inside for water damage

✓

Inner cab structure — Inspect behind outer cab corner for deeper rust

✓

Bed floor condition — Assess original steel, replacement wood, or aftermarket panels

✓

VIN decode — Decode VIN before inspection to verify claimed engine, transmission, trim

✓

4WD engagement (K models) — Test 2H, 4H, 4L — clean engagement with no grinding

✓

Engine cold start — Listen for valve train or bearing noise; check oil condition

✓

Transmission function — Smooth engagement in all ranges, no delayed Drive from cold

✓

Rocker panels and door bottoms — Check lower door edges and rockers for rust

✓

Firewall integrity — Check firewall for front collision evidence

✓

Cab mounts (Square Body) — Check lower rear cab panels above cab mounts for rust — common on '73–'87

✓

Axle seals (K models) — Inspect front knuckle seals and differential fill levels

Common Issues

Cab corner rust is universal across all C/K generations — the drainage channel routes water directly into the corner structure. Reproduction corners exist but inner structure must be assessed. Frame rust at kick-up sections is the structural concern. The 350 and 454 V8s are robust with enormous aftermarket support but high-mileage engines commonly need valve train work. On K-series trucks the Dana 44 front axle develops knuckle seal leaks and limited-slip wear. The TH350 and TH400 automatics are generally durable — delayed engagement from cold indicates a seal issue. Square Body trucks (1973–1987) rust at the lower rear cab panels above the cab mounts.

What to Look For

Frame rails front-to-back — probe with screwdriver at kick-up sections and mid-frame. Cab corners — tap from outside and inspect inside lower door channel; reproduction panels available. Bed floor — assess original steel vs. replaced wood or panels. Inner cab structure behind outer corners — more expensive rust damage often hidden. Engine bay firewall for accident damage. Decode VIN before visiting to verify claimed trim level and engine. Check transfer case engagement on K (4WD) models. Inspect driver's side frame behind cab on Square Body for bracket-area corrosion. Check rocker panels and door bottoms.

Price Guide

1967–1972 Action Line: short-wheelbase driver $22,000–$35,000; show quality $50,000–$80,000. Square Body 1973–1987: driver $18,000–$30,000; show $38,000–$60,000. First gen 1960–1966: undervalued at $16,000–$28,000 driver. K-series 4WD carries 10–20% premium over equivalent C-series. Big-block documented trucks command meaningful premiums.

Did You Know?

The 1967 redesign was shaped by GM's truck design studio, later GM's VP of Design. "Like a Rock" first appeared in 1991 advertising for the final Square Body years. The 1967–1972 C10 and its GMC sibling were the first American trucks offered with a factory full-floating rear axle as standard on heavy-duty variants.
