Title: What is a 1979 Chevy Bonanza similar too?
Post by: woodstrooper on January 06, 2014, 04:09:28 pm

I purchased a 1979 shortbed C10 Chevy truck to restore.  The model is a Bonanza.  That model never shows up on websites or in parts catalogs.  It is a very stripped down model.  I'm trying to figure out what other model it is the closest to.  It has a 305 engine and a TH400 tranny.  I'm changing the engine to a 350.  There isn't much trim.  The cab has no headliner.  The seat is a bench style and is nothing special. The doors are padded halfway down.  There is no AC and roll-up windows.  Most of the time I don't really need the model but sometimes the site requires it.  I normally choose Scottsdale but I'm not sure this is the closest to what I have.  Can anyone help?

It is between the Custom Deluxe and Scottsdale as far as I know.

It was a year end promotion thing  Pre 1980 was based on a Z62 (Custom Deluxe)
