This Chevrolet C/K (1973-1991) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Big 10 is a regular-cab Fleetside pickup that is said to have been used as a showroom display model at Al & Len Motors of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, before being acquired by the seller in August 2019, and it now shows 735 miles. The truck is finished in two-tone maroon and gray paint over red cloth and vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 15″ rally wheels, front disc brakes, a sliding rear window, chrome bedrails, dual fuel tanks, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, and a push-button radio. Work under current ownership is said to have included cleaning the fuel tanks, flushing the fuel system and radiator, and replacing the tires and ignition components. This Silverado is offered with manufacturer’s literature, 1978 sales paperwork, a set of four uninstalled tires, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
