Its a 1979 Scottsdale 4×4 with a 350.

Lots of rust but the frame looks decent and it seems the brakes and suspension have been gone through in the last few (10) years

It passed smog so I probably/definitely paid more then it’d otherwise be worth.

Smog testing is the reason I won’t buy any vehicles made between 1975 to 1995.

Looks crusty but trusty, the best kind of rusty. The odds of the Clubman being broke at the same time as the Chevy are like, 50%, but you know the saying about how they will run poorly longer than most clubmans :P will run at all. Actually, you could say that about a Mas erati Biturbo, but my point stands. Congratulations.

Pickups of that vintage just don’t look right without a  saddle blanket seat cover.

Awesome!

My dad's first truck was an electric blue '79 K10, with a 4-speed.

Arguably the best front end out of the 73-87 trucks.  I love the round headlights!!!

100%. Two things I hate about my ‘03 Silverado. IFS and seat belts integrated into the seats. I can’t run a traditional bench with saddle or Mexican blankets. :(

That is altogether too professional for what I’ve got in mind
