You must have bought the "Silverado" trim to pay that much.
Our family bought stripped down 1978 C10 "Big 10" model for about $5000 out the door.
Nope! It was the Scottsdsle model. Plain Jane, no real extras at all.
350 with a 4 stick, power steering and brakes. That was it. Armstrong windows and door locks, standard heater, no AC. It did have bucket seats and a console though.
Sticker was $7714. I wasn't smart enough to dicker with them and beat them down on the price. I did, however, get them to swap out the stock little mirrors for the 2 way camper mirrors.
This was a 3/4 ton camper special.
A C10 is a basic half ton, thus the lower price.
We had the "Big 10" which was a heavy duty half ton. back then the emission exemption was based on weight rating and GM made this Big 10 so it was above the half ton model with all the emission stuff.
The tail pipe even had a blocking screen in the end of it so a sniffer could not be inserted in the exhaust.
