1986 Chevrolet K-10 Silverado Long Bed Pickup
"Full size Chevy 4x4's dig in and go. Climb hills that stretch toward the heavens. Make tracks long after lesser trucks drop out. Bring along a load of gear a smaller truck just can't handle. In a gutsy Chevy 4-wheeler, you can really explore the adventure of the great outdoors. So break out of the daily dullness and discover new frontiers!" From the 1986 Chevy full size truck brochure.
For consignment, a 1986 Chevrolet K-10 Silverado long bed pickup with a title verified 72,985 actual miles, a 3 owner survivor with power windows and power locks, new brakes, belts, and hoses. Our consignor says that this was an actual farm truck with some period additions needed at the time that make it a versatile, well equipped truck that can certainly be returned to work, but also serves as a classic relic of a once common vehicle.
Exterior
Two tone Nevada Gold over Black give this truck a look synonymous with the trend of the time, really the tail end of the two tone phase which includes the sandwich effect with black in part of the cab. The square body Chevy is true to its name with a perfectly flat fascia and grille, stacked square headlights and a straight bumper with long, vertical bumper guards. Below that, a set of fog lights and tow hooks add utilitarian value to the truck. Mounted on the black roof is a visor to keep the sun at bay when you're inspecting your crops, and in the bed is a diamond plate toolbox and added bedrails to tie down cargo, and this bed shows evidence of carrying some loads. A roll pan on the square tail replaces a bumper and represents the triple band of color that is gold followed by the stainless dress plate, then the black roller. Other than some general patina, a few chips, and some dry seals, the exterior is in great shape.
Interior
The Silverado gets an upgraded interior with a multi dimensional door panel with velour inserts on a plastic base over a carpeted kick panel, all in nice shape with a touch of patina. Hot dog! A cloth bench seat remains in place which means you can keep your loved one close, whether they are the two legged or the four legged variety. The seat is in great shape and so is the steering wheel with stitched inserts, fronting a flat, gray instrument cluster with canted sides for the driver. Basic gauges wear orange needles on black backgrounds and an AM/FM/Cassette player is to our right along with climate control and a vent. The lower dash takes on the body color, contrasting with the black top and keeping a consistent color design with the exterior. It's a column shift truck but the range selector is mounted on the floor surrounded by medium pile black carpet and carpeted mats in good condition and the headliner above is also nice. Per our consignor, the power windows have new regulators.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a driver quality 305ci V8, carbureted with a 4-barrel, and matched with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt axle in the back, and splitting to the 10 bolt diff in front. Power brakes are on board for the task with new discs in front and drums in the back. The bay shows normal wear and surface rust but is otherwise clean. Per our consignor, the A/C was converted to R-134A.
Undercarriage
Clean underneath with some usage patina. It looks like it may have been undercoated at some point and presents with uniform flat black coverage. The single exhaust flows into a stock style muffler then exits via a tailpipe that goes sideways from the back. Leaf springs make up the suspension front and rear.
Drive-Ability
The half ton starts right up with a prime of the carb and sets off on our test loop on its 15-inch Chevrolet Sport wheels and LT rated all terrain tires. The 305 puts out a bit of grunt and shifts are smooth, and the ride is comfortable and quiet. This rugged 4x4 performs well including all of the functions in and around the truck. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
They say there's nothing quite like a square body and a 4x4 version is even better! What once were commonplace are now sought after classics and while the 80's might seem like that long ago, step into a 2024 truck and the advancement in technology is stark. But if you're like us, you're "old school" and like the good ol' analog operation of a truck without the gizmos and gadgets to get in the way. Just you, your dog, a transfer case, and all terrain tires. What more could you want? This one has your name written all over it!
