1979 Chevrolet C10 Camper review from North America
"Reliable American power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. The ruck has been perfect since the day I got it.
A little rust is starting to develop since I have it in a rainy part of the country now. It is all concealed under the vehicle however.
General comments?
This truck is a beast. It is a half-ton very light truck. It came from the factory with a TH400 tranny and a 454 V8. I am going to put in a posi rear-end and some "sport" orientated street tires and have it as a hot rod. This thing is just too fast and has too much torque to use it as a work truck. The pull from 50 up is AMAZING.
