Chevy Newbie
« on: May 22, 2008, 12:51:46 am »
Hi

Iám a new member to this forum and new owner to a 1978 K-10 Scottsdale stepside.

I live in Stockholm Sweden and found a well used Chevy Stepside on United Kingdoms E-bay and fell madly in love with it.  :D

The car has bean refitted whit a 6,2L diesel instead of the stock 350 and has manual gearbox. The car is in pretty good shape but need some work.

Now Iám trying to get it approved by Swedish vehicle agency so I can get it road legal.

J.R

Welcome to the site.  That is one pretty pickup you got there.  I am sure someone has the info you are looking for in their owners manual or door sticker.

That is a good looking Scottsdale K10 truck that you acquired.  Looks well-loved more than well-used to me.  ;D
