My 1979 K10 Scottsdale - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi I have a 1979 Chevy K10 Scottsdale. It was sold at Rodway Chevrolet in Redding, California. It is Charcoal metallic and appears to have a paint shop company on the door along with a lot of old school pinstriping. I am hoping someone on here may recognize it from years ago and maybe know some of its story in its hay day.
Thanks

After further looking at the door it appears it was a paint shop in Redding California that owned this truck. I can’t make out the first word but it almost looks like the second one says Johnson. I can also almost make out what appears to be a phone number 245-7779. On the tailgate there is a LIC#331739. Does anyone recognize any of this?
Thanks

A few years back i owned a 1950 Dodge pickup and the old sinage was a flower farm from out in PA apparently at one time it was so big they built a town to house the workers and they sold wholesale flowers to places

Good news,
I got to talk to the son of the original owner. Sadly the original owner past away about 10 years ago. The son told me they used the truck as the shop truck for around town and used it to go hunting up in the mountains when he was a kid. It isn’t always about the vehicle to me it’s just cool to have the history of what the vehicle did and the family story to go with it. He also said he was going to find some pictures of it and send them to me. Thanks to those that helped me on my hunt for the history!
