LS3-Powered 1979 Chevrolet K10 Suburban Silverado 4×4

This 1979 Chevrolet K10 Suburban underwent a refurbishment process with East Coast Rover beginning in April 2021 with work that totaled over $400k. A replacement 6.2-liter LS3 V8, a six-speed automatic transmission, and dual-range transfer case were installed, a suspension lift kit and four-wheel disc brakes were fitted and the master brake cylinder, brake booster, ball joints, and steering stabilizer were replaced. The truck was repainted two-tone yellow, the headliner and dash pad were refreshed, an Alpine CD stereo and aftermarket gauges were added, and custom-fabricated rear speaker boxes were mounted. This Suburban is offered in dealer consignment with service records and a clean Montana title.

The truck was repainted two-tone yellow during the refurbishment, which also included fitting a replacement roof rack, window seals, and bumper brackets. Additional equipment includes Trailering Special badging, LED headlights, and chrome bumpers.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames aftermarket gauges including a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 2,900 miles since the build. Total mileage is unknown.
