1980 Silverado Big 10 - Caramel Sundae - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

darkhorse970 · 09-24-2020, 07:37 AM

I’ve owned this truck for 3 years, but haven’t posted much about it here. I saw it at Cruising the Coast in Biloxi, MS and fell in love.

1980 C-10 Silverado Big 10
53k original miles
98ish% Original paint
305/TH350
Lowered 4.5/6.5
Billet Specialties Vintecs

Adding QA1 single adjustable shocks, Holley Sniper EFI, and a healthier small block (retaking factory look under the hood) this winter.

Beautiful! Interesting the person who ordered it opted for electric door locks, but not electric windows. Very nice truck.

Please post about the Sniper EFI swap when you do it. I am thinking about doing this on my 86 this spring. Be cool to see how that goes.

The '80 square headlight grill has gone from my least favorite to the top of the squares for it's uniqueness. That, and a Big 10, and mostly original paint = super cool truck.

I feel the exact same way about them, which is why this one is a Keeper.

It’s too original to go that route, in my opinion.

I’m installing the QA1 Single Adjustable shocks this week, before heading down to Cruisin the Coast. Pics to follow.

Yes, I still have it. My wife really likes it too, so I’ve decided that it’s a Keeper! We took it to Cruising the Coast in Mississippi, and we had a blast. Here are a few more pics.

LOL, my “short list of buyers” is growing. If it weren’t a Keeper I might start taking bids. 😁
