Description

1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4Short Bed StepsideFuel Injected!!!This sweet low mileage truck was purchased by me for my 16 year old. It came with a rebuilt 400 small block and 4 speed 700R4 automatic transmission. It was in excellent condition but my son quickly learned he did not want a carburetor! So I installed a new fuel Injection system based off of Chevy's TBI. It included a Brand New small electronically controlled HEI distributor. New TBI unit (454 TBI with 350 Injectors) . custom tailored wire harness with closed loop O2 sensor. Check Engine light. Diagnostic port. nbsp;all new fuel pump and filters. (I put one in front and one behind the fuel pump). FUEL SYSTEMI pulled both gas tanks and went through the system. I installed new sending units from a 1987-1991 pickup because the return lines for fuel injection have to be bigger than stock 79 ones. The other return restriction is the factory fuel switching valve. So supply is switched through that valve and another (ford) valve was installed for the return system. The result is now the ability to transfer fuel from one side to the other and vise versa. To have the ability to watch the transfer and monitor both tanks at the same time I installed two separate gages and molded them into the dash pad and covered it in Al's LinerENGINEAs stated above it is a rebuilt 400 small block that runs cool and as it should. It has a lot of high dollar parts and does not leak. It has roller rockers that I verified by looking into the oil fill cap. It has very nice coated headers into a very nice sounding dual exhaust. Deep and throaty without being too loud. Fuel Injection is a TBI unit based off of GM and includes HEI. While converting I also installed new plugs and wires. IT also has a new starter with new fusible link and a new alternator. HVACWhen I first bought the truck I took it straight to a local shop and had them go through the system. They converted to r134a which also included new hoses. fittings . compressor. The truck heats and cools great. INTERIORThe interior is very nice and includes a beautiful bench seat with new seat cover. When recovered I checked the springs and foam. It looks and feels incredible. The dash is custom to include dual gages. It also has a new (Christmas present to my son) Kenwood stereo that also includes Bluetooth system with USB port. All glass is good. steering wheel and tilt are all tight. I replaced one horn and it works as it should (rare for aftermarket steering wheel). Small drivers wing window leaks a little airWheel/TiresThe wheels and tires are brand new from Discount tires purchased by me. OTHERAlthough the truck has survived this long virtually rust free I had the bottom coated in Al's Liner grey and the top of bedrails in black. It also has new shocks and some suspension hardware. fuel lines and fittings and the brakes are excellent. Great windshield with new wipers. Bed has diamond plate floor and a new toolbox that looks good and is easy to access. This truck get looks and cannot go to anywhere without onlookers complimenting it. It has the 700R4 tranny and combined with the TBI gets great gas mileage. All in all this is a great looking. sounding. running classic truck. I have more into it than the buy it now price and the winning bidder should be very happy. Shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder but I am flexible to assist in loading it.
