Classic Car Overview
This 1978 Chevy Scottsdale K20 is a Camper Special. This is a 2 Owner truck that spent its life in the Pacific NW (Oregon) so it is a clean and solid truck. This era of truck is extremely difficult to find. This truck is very original and has always been well cared for/maintained and it shows. We have a bunch of receipts that will come with the truck that go to around 2005 when the 2nd owner passed away. The wife kept the truck stored inside until about 2019 when she got it out and had someone go through it for her to get it in ready to drive condition. This truck has some really cool factory options like tilt wheel, cruise control, dealer installed CB Radio, 2 Tone paint, and Factory 400 V8 engine. The body on this truck is clean and straight. The Mariner Blue and Light Blue paint appears to be original. The hood may have been painted but we are not 100% sure. It is a really cool color combo and the truck buffed out really cool with the original paint and patina coming through. It still has all of its original deluxe trim and the the chrome and trim is in great original condition. The underside is original and clean and shows the normal surface rust on bare metal parts. Other than that we found no rust issues with this truck.
The interior is in really nice condition and is mostly original. The bench seat was professionally reupholstered and looks new. The floor mat, door panels, das pad, and dash bezel are all original and nice. The headlights, taillights, brakelights, and turn signals are all working. The gauges all work. The horn and windshield wipers work. It has tilt wheel and working cruise control. The factory radio and CB work. The heat also works.
Mechanically this truck is excellent and it runs and drives great!! The engine is the 6.6L 400 V8 that runs strong with no issues or red flags that we found. This is a rare 509 small block and the engine was pulled and rebuilt around 7 years ago when the widow was getting the truck ready to drive. It was rebuilt to stock Spec. Unfortunately she was not able to provide receipts but you can see it was done by gaskets, freeze plugs, etc. At that time It received a new alternator, new starter, new fuel pump, new distributor, a Reman Quadrajet Carb, and dual exhaust. It is a very stock look under the hood. It has the Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission that shifts great. It was rebuilt around 10,000 miles ago and we have the receipt. It is mated to the np203 transfer case which was also rebuilt around 10,000 miles ago and they added a part-time 4WD kit. The 4WD works like it should. The rear axle is a Corporate 14 Bolt with 4.10 gears. The front axle is a Dana 44 with 4.10 gears and factory power front disc brakes. It also has power steering. This is all sitting on the stock factory wheels and hubcaps with 245/75/16 All Terrain tires.
