Trucks these days are massive beasts of burden, many of which have crew cabs filled with soft leather, genuine wood, massaging seats, and high-end audio systems. They’re great, but there’s nothing wrong with good old-fashioned classics, such as our Pick of the Day. You can find this 1977 Chevrolet C30 Scottsdale “Big Dooley” listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealership in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Old Chevy trucks are handsome rigs in general, but the simplicity and proportions of the 1973-91 “Square Body” trucks make them especially attractive. The 1977 C30 shown here has a Regular Cab and dual rear wheels, so it looks like a giant toy truck, which is enough to bring out anyone’s inner child. And its dark brown paint with yellow trim gives it an undeniable ’70s charm.
A Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds and the Camper Special package (which came from the factory with heavy-duty shocks and front and rear stabilizer bars, auxiliary rear springs, and a camper body wiring harness) mean this pickup is ready for hard work or hard partying away from the 9-5 grind.
Whether the bed contains a load of sheetrock or a camper, the 454ci V-8 and four-speed manual will get it where it needs to go.
Many trucks of this age have either been driven into the ground or neglected to the point of ruin. Somehow, this one has only racked up 72,877 miles. That means there are plenty more to add to this 1977 Chevrolet C30 Scottsdale dually while enjoying the comfort of air conditioning, and the convenience of power steering and brakes. For $22,777, you can be the person who does that as you head to the job site or the campsite.
