1976 Chevy K10, 1 tons, Flatbed, 41.5 PBR radials

This big truck actually drives very respectably on the street AND on the trails and was built with a focus on offroad performance AND being able to drive to/from the trails over Colorado mountain passes.  And it does all of that and still maintains its handsome “classic Chevy truck” looks.

Some of these parts are 5-6 years old by now, and some are only a month old, but everything has very LOW mileage (approx. 2000-3000 total miles; some parts only 100 miles!).  All of the wearable parts like brakes, tie rod ends, u-joints, all the fluids, belts, and hoses are all practically NEW, and have been very well maintained during their short service life.  Every old, crusty body, engine, transmission, and suspension mount has been replaced with new polyurethane parts for better durability and performance than replacement rubber. This classic Chevy 4x4 truck has all of the major heavy duty upgrades and has conquered difficult/extreme Moab and Colorado trails, even in 2wd.
