"Kate" - 1981 Chevrolet Short Fleet

Meet Kate – 1981 Chevrolet Short Fleet (Ron Hodgson Edition)

Originally sold out of Edmonton as a Ron Hodgson Edition, this 1981 Chevrolet Short Bed Fleetside (C/K Series) blends classic style with tasteful upgrades. With its 6.5-foot smooth-side bed and bold squarebody stance, Kate is a rare, standout truck with a timeless presence on the road.

Freshly refinished in black with less than 300 km on the paint, it’s protected with a 5-year ceramic coating (warranty included) and a professional stage 2 polish for long-lasting shine. The red interior has been meticulously restored with a new headliner, re-dyed pillars and sun visors, and a full interior detail.

Under the hood, Kate is powered by a refreshed 305 (5.0L) small block, paired with Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner, an aluminum intake, headers, and new dual exhaust, offering smooth, reliable performance. The truck maintains stock height, and also features dual fuel tanks and a new battery.

Comfort and functionality upgrades include:

• Power windows, power steering, and power locks

• Retro-style Bluetooth stereo

• PowerBass S-Series shallow speakers (6x9” 50W RMS behind seats and dash-mounted)

📌 Note: This unit does not have air conditioning.

Odometer: 68,616 km (5-digit – may have rolled over)

✔️ Rare Ron Hodgson Edition
