1977 Chevrolet Silverado Big 10 Resto-Mod Step-side

Car History

We have a restored (about 2000 miles ago) 1977 Chevrolet Silverado Big 10 dark green metallic with a 454 cubic inch engine Rest-Mod here at Adventure Classics that is a great example of those rare vehicles but ours has been modified to have even more performance.

The Big 10 was promoted as a heavy duty two wheel drive half ton for the 1975 through 1980 model years. Although it offered truck buyers somewhat more load carrying ability than the standard C10 half tons, its real advantage- -and the motive behind its conception- -was that it provided buyers with the opportunity to purchase a half ton truck with a 454 cubic inch engine on the short wheelbase step-side truck.

Engine & Drivetrain

The largest motor available from the factory in 1977 was the 454 and that is what we have in ours, except, it has been rebuilt and modified into a 477 cubic inch big block Chevrolet has dyno-tuned at 540 horsepower.

The extra power and torque of the upgraded engine is great but it looks great too with the black 454 logo valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum intake, four-barrel carburetor, serpentine belt system, black factory air filter assembly, modified ignition and performance red spark plug wires, tube headers, and has power steering, power brakes, serpentine belt system, and air conditioning.

That horsepower runs back thru the GM 400 Turbo 3-speed automatic transmission with a 12-bolt posi-rear end handling the power.

Interior

The restored black/green Deluxe interior has a front bench seat, matching door panels with pockets, carpeting, and a factory stock looking dash with all the correct factory gauges including the tach, premium features like a tilt steering wheel, rare wood steering wheel, wood on the dash, cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, dual mirrors, and an AM/FM stereo radio in the center of the dash.

Exterior

Our Silverado has a dark green metallic paint job that is topped with clear coat and micro flake to make a custom and outstanding appearance.

It has great body panels, chrome towing mirrors, chrome front bumper, dual gas tanks, finished bed, trailer hitch and the chrome rear step bumper, LED brake light strip, dual exhaust, and all riding on custom grey/chrome Ridler 10-spoke 18” wheels and performance black sidewall radial tires.

Conclusion

This restored 1977 Chevrolet Silverado Big 10 with a 454 cubic inch engine Rest-Mod we have here at Adventure Classics is a one-of-a-kind great example that has been modified for more drivability and comfort when you take it to cruise or attend a show.to have even more performance.
