1978 Chevrolet C20 Base review from North America

"Great heavy duty work truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The battery tray rusted through and now has a piece of wood replacing it. The headers leaked when I bought it and were replaced with Dynomax headers (very well built).It could use a list of things to bring up perfect, but, I'll have to wait on the funding for that. I also had to replace the tires when I bought it because I kept getting stuck on our mini-farm (mud tires all the way around).

General comments?

This truck is no looker, but it starts every time and will pull just about anything. Parts if you ever have to replace anything are dirt cheap. And just about anyone can work on this truck, very basic. The rides good on the road, a little rough, but it's a 3/4 ton with mud tires. Off road it is great, just expect to be bounced around

a lot. Great pickup, brake are very heavy duty, and the power steering is perfect, no mushy feel (Ford Trucks).No a/c,no power anything to break, just a perfect hard working truck that can be beat everyday and still be there for you.
