This 1976 Chevrolet K10 4×4 short bed represents one of the most desirable configurations of the squarebody era, combining a short wheelbase stance with a sorted small block V8 drivetrain. Offered by SoCal Heritage Motors in Riverside, California for $49,850, this example is finished in burgundy over a tan interior and shows 20,000 miles (TMU). Recent mechanical updates, including an upgraded intake and carburetor, position this truck as a usable classic rather than a purely cosmetic build.
  • Shortbed Squarebody:  This K10 benefits from the highly sought-after short wheelbase configuration, giving it more aggressive proportions and stronger market appeal than long bed counterparts. Clean lines and a well-balanced stance reinforce its classic squarebody look.
  • Upgraded Small Block Power:  Power comes from a 350 cu.-in. V8 paired with an automatic transmission, enhanced by a refreshed intake and carburetor setup. The engine starts easily, idles smoothly, and delivers the kind of consistent performance expected from a properly sorted small block.
  • Mechanically Sorted:  Rather than focusing solely on appearance, this truck has been gone through where it matters, with attention to reliability and drivability. Supporting systems have been addressed to create a turn-key driving experience.
  • Period-Correct Interior:  The cabin features a tan interior with a clean, functional layout consistent with the era. It retains the simplicity and durability that define these trucks, making it equally suited for weekend use or casual cruising.
  • Strong Overall Condition:  Presented by SoCal Heritage Motors, this K10 shows as a solid 4×4 platform with a clean title and an honest, well-maintained feel. The combination of mechanical investment and overall condition makes it a compelling example in today’s market.
About the Squarebody K10
The 1973–1987 Chevrolet C/K series, commonly referred to as “Squarebody” trucks, marked a major shift in GM truck design, introducing more modern styling, improved ride quality, and increased comfort. The K10 4×4 variant paired that usability with off-road capability, making it a versatile platform for both work and recreation.

Short bed K10s have become especially collectible due to their proportions and relative scarcity. As interest in vintage trucks has grown, well-sorted examples like this, combining classic styling with mechanical usability, have seen increasing demand among enthusiasts and collectors alike.
