1979 Chevrolet K30 4x4

This 1979 Chevrolet K30 is a genuine one-ton, four-wheel-drive square-body pickup that has undergone a comprehensive custom restoration while retaining the heavy-duty character that made the K30 Chevrolet's top-tier pickup of the era. It is a factory K30 pickup assembled at Chevrolet's Fremont, California plant and was originally equipped with the desirable 400 CI V8. Earlier documentation trace the truck to California ownership, where it was represented as a one-owner example showing just a few years ago. Performance now comes from a BluePrint Engines 396 CI small-block V8 producing approximately 491 horsepower, equipped with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, Holley HyperSpark ignition, aluminum cylinder heads, a polished aluminum intake manifold and coated headers feeding a dual exhaust system. Cooling is handled by a Be Cool aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, while an automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case deliver power to the four-wheel-drive system. The heavy-duty chassis has been upgraded with a lifted suspension featuring Fox remote-reservoir shocks, dual Fox steering stabilizers, power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. Polished 20-inch Gear Off Road wheels wrapped in aggressive 35x12.50-inch Super Swamper tires complete the imposing stance. The body was refinished in an attractive blue-and-white two-tone scheme accented by painted simulated side moldings, aftermarket headlights, LED marker lamps and taillights, bumper-mounted fog lamps and Eddie Motorsports billet-style hood hinges. Inside, the K30 combines classic square-body styling with modern comfort and instrumentation. A brown leather-upholstered bench seat is complemented by matching treatments on the door panels and dash, while amenities include a tilt steering column, wood-rim steering wheel and an Old Air Products air-conditioning system. Dakota Digital HDX instrumentation replaces the original gauges and is joined by a Custom Autosound stereo system with dual Kicker subwoofers mounted behind the seat. With documented roots as a genuine factory 400-powered California K30 and a recently completed build incorporating nearly 500 horsepower, upgraded suspension and braking, modern fuel injection, air conditioning and a fully customized interior, this Chevrolet offers an impressive combination of authentic one-ton square-body pedigree and contemporary performance.
