“A good truck can be the start of a long friendship.” – Period GM Pickup Truck magazine ad headline

Hagerty characterized the attractive design of these GM pickups this way: “Whether Chevrolet or GMC, the General's third-generation, 'square-body' trucks were a dramatic departure from the company's previous efforts. The third-gen models featured squared-off front and rear fascia, subtle body contours honed by wind-tunnel testing, a more accommodating and ergonomic interior… a style decades ahead of its time.”

Offered here is a perfectly refreshed, time-capsule 1984 Chevrolet K10K 4WD pickup in royal blue metallic over black. The truck has traveled just 26,801 total miles to date, fewer than 725 miles per-year on average since new. Refreshed and re-powered, its excellent overall condition shows how owner pride, attention to regular servicing, proper professional refreshing, and restrained-use mileage can result in a virtually timeless vehicle.

The exterior royal blue metallic paint was professionally applied, and the results show: perfectly smooth finish and even, high gloss on every surface, with no indication whatsoever of fading or other damage. All sheet metal panels are free of dings, dents, or other damage. The chrome trim—on the bumpers, fender wheel-opening trim, West Coast-style mirrors, window trim—is all in excellent condition; a chrome trim-strip has been applied to the lower body including the cargo box. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The truck's front grille (with bowtie emblem in all-silver) and tailgate are perfect. The cargo area is protected with a black, anti-scrape coating. A Corvette crossed-flags emblem graces the front fenders in reference to the source of the truck's new power (explained further below). Lighting lenses on the last-year single headlights and cabin glass—including the sliding rear window—are perfectly clear and undamaged. A moderate lift kit is installed. Factory rally-style, painted-silver, 15-inch steel wheels with chrome trim rings (and Warn® front locking hubs with correct rear “4x4”-labeled hubs) are mounted with BFGoodrich® All-Terrain raised-white-letter 33x10.5 LT tires.

Inside, the “respectfully refreshed” theme continues. Literally every surface, every control, every aspect of the interior fully merits that description, including the black dashboard wearing its correct “Silverado” emblem. Black vinyl seat upholstery is free of wear indications or damage. The black Chevrolet-branded steering wheel frames the classic, square-design, brushed-metal-trimmed GM-truck instrument cluster. Ventilation and heating controls are slide-levers. An upgraded Kenwood® audio head unit is mounted in the factory-radio location. Even the fluorescent indicator needles on the instruments are largely unfaded. The B&M® shift lever for the TH350 Turbo 350 transmission (with manual valve body) is floor-mounted alongside the transfer-case selector lever. Fresh black cabin-floor carpeting is installed.

Under the hood, the venerable 350-cubic-inch V8—sourced from a 1978 Indianapolis 500 Pace-car-edition Corvette with just 16,000 miles on it—wearing its correct Chevy-orange engine-block paint commands a spotless and well-ordered engine bay. An open-sided chrome air-cleaner assembly and good views of the Corvette exhaust headers give a hint of the truck's performance. All components are correctly mounted, and surface finishes are likewise correct. In the same way, viewed from below, the truck's chassis is complete, original, and undamaged, with most metal protected with rust inhibitor. Views of the lower side of the engine, the properly installed lift-kit components, and the full-length dual exhaust are visual focal points. Only minimal surface rust is present on some untreated metal. Again, there is no sign of damage of any sort.

The truck's VIN markings are present and unaltered.

“Chevy Trucks are taking charge.” That was the theme line in Chevy Truck magazine advertisements back in the day. Seeing this tastefully refreshed '84 Chevy K10 still standing proud nearly 40 years later shows that ad claim remains accurate with one added word: “Chevy Trucks are STILL taking charge.”
