This is my 1979 C30 1 ton Camper Special 9000 GVW single cab rig for sale. I'm the second owner. I bought it in 1986 with 23,000 miles on it. It has full power. Thats brakes being the hydroboost. Power windows. Power door locks and cruise control. That cruise does not work because of a broken blinker arm. It has the 454 engine and the th 400 auto trans. I rebuilt them both about 70,000 miles back because I was towing my 5th wheel and 22 ft boat during simmers. It has a sliding rear window with the cargo lite. It comes with the towing mirrors from the factory. The interior has been replaced about 15 years ago from Danchuck. Thats the seats, door panels, dash and the carpet. They could use a good vacuuming and cleaning. I never had a radio but I have the GM radio to fit it. The rear brakes and wheel cylinders were replaced about 6 months ago. The ac was rebuild and blows ice cold. Its still the R12 freon. I may include some R12 with the sale so the new owner can keep it the way it was designed. The right front fender shows a small dent that was there when I bought the truck. I never fixed it. Tilt steering works great as does everything else but the cruise control. All the glass if great. No issues with any of it I have a few spares to go with the sale. I have a Silverado dash bezel I was going to use but decided not to. Ended up not liking the Chrome. The wheels are factory chrome and they do have light rust on them. I have cleaned them many times but I will let them show what they are like now. I do have some factory wheel locks. It has a dual fuel tank and each one is 20 gallons with factory installed locking gas caps. This is not a beater truck nor has it ever seen the rust belt. It has its dings but no rust belt holes anywhere like you see so often from those areas. I have the original Quadrajet 4 barrel off the truck to run a differnt 4 barrel. It also is a Quadrajet 4 barrel. Its licensed till April 2015 and the cost here in cali is $169.00 for the year. I have always past smog checks easily too. This engine was designed without a EGR valve in the intake manifold because it was an exempt engine from the factory. The 9000 lbs GVW was to avoid smog and carry a camper. It has a towing package accessory from the factory too. I used a Tekonsha prodigy brake controller but its in my other tow rig and wont be part of this sale. The bed has the RBW slides but they will stay. The 5th wheel hitch is not included. I have a new never used tail gate also. The person I bought the rig from had a camper on this rig and the camper tie downs are going with the sale. This is a really nice truck that could be restored easily and used as a show piece. I'm sure I left out some things but if I recall any O will add them.
