Vehicle Description
1986 Chevrolet C10 Pickup
It started with a simple idea: a few car chassis fitted with
hand-built beds to help carry materials around a booming car
factory. Before long, millions of Chevrolet pickups were woven into
the fabric of a fast-growing country. Chevy trucks tackled the
toughest jobs on farms and in the fields; hauled tools and lumber
to the burgeoning suburbs; and carried families and friends into
and out of the wilds for well-earned vacations.
For consignment, a 1986 Chevrolet pickup truck that has had nearly
every mechanical aspect updated, replaced or rebuilt. A freshly
rebuilt 350ci small block V8 mill, Turbo 350 transmission, new
exhaust, some super fly clear coated patina paint, and a completely
new interior. Let's just say have a look and I'm sure you will be
impressed, as I was, and definitely had a yearning to look into
this truck deeper.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by
the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws
to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public
highways in your area.*
Exterior
Classic Chevrolet trucks from the 80's are quite the hot item these
days. Any classic truck is for that matter, but truth be told, it's
the boxy retro look that people are after, and this truck is the
epitome of that design. A custom black straight horizontal ribbed
grille with its stacked inset LED headlights and parking light
setup on either side, all tucked safely behind the grille. Shiny
and mirror-like would best describe the bumper below. This
beautiful setup fronts straight steel, with well minded gaps, all
bathed in a patinated original light blue that has been clear
coated to preserve the finish. Dents and dings abound but no rust
is seen and the fenders wear 10 Scottsdale badging just to grab you
and make you move closer! Good chrome attachments are on the doors
in the form of mirrors, and handles and a stainless molding runs
stem to stern and divides the light blue upper body from the
blackened lower. All glass surrounds have been blackened. The long
bed version is finished in a clear coat over the factory paint and
shows signs of usage but clearly no abuse. 15-inch deep dish
drilled wheels have 5 chromed bolts, and are wrapped with staggered
width rubber.
Interior
The blue theme continues with the nicely presenting molded plastic,
carpeted and broadcloth shod door panels. Our consignor notes new
dark blue map pockets have been added and set off the factory panel
and black insert splendidly. Slipping inside a new covered in blue
vinyl bench welcomes us and two other passengers if needed. The
original blue dash sports a shiny showroom look with new bezeled
gauges in front of the original style steering wheel which has a
bowtie horn button in the center. All the other essentials are
mounted within this dash front, and just below a trio of extra
aftermarket gauges for more monitoring of the essentials. New blue
carpeting for the floors and above is a dark blue perforated vinyl
headliner with a lightly smoked rear sliding window.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is simply put: "eye candy" in the form of a rebuilt
350ci V8. This mill sports traditional orange/red paint for the
block and heads, an aluminum intake and Edelbrock 4-barrel
carburetor plus a new fuel pump. Black and red valve covers and a
chrome lidded open element air cleaner are on for the dress up. A
TH350 3-speed automatic transmission is on back, along with a
10-bolt rear axle. Also seen are shiny headers all within a done
but not overdone black and blue engine bay with a new alternator
recently installed. A new radiator, fan shroud and hoses are
one...Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
Undercarriage
True to worker bee truck form, a mix of patina, solid steel, blue
paint overspray and black undercoating wash over the underside
landscape. For the front, independent coil springs with new ball
joints are on and the rear has leaf springs. Power disc brakes with
new calipers and pads are on front, and power drums for the rear. A
shiny dual exhaust with stock style mufflers dual tips ending
behind each rear tire is also seen. We note the absence of the
factory installed catalytic converter.
Drive-Ability
Firing this truck up, you will be met with a surprising roar as it
settles into a healthy rumbling idle. It certainly accelerates
smoothly and quickly, stops on a dime and cruises very nicely to
boot. All functions were working just perfectly save for the heater
blower and the AC not blowing cold as the AC system has been
removed.
A fine overall restoration job for the exterior and interior.
Certainly not perfect on the exterior end of things, but that isn't
what our consignor was going for. Preservation of the history of
the body was the target and I must admit, it looks absolutely
fabulous. The new engine is all blinged out, and the engine bay is
simply...well wonderful! I could use my pickup line right now, but
I digress, and will just say a classic truck will not get any
better in our Hallowed Halls than this baby. Ready to haul
anything, even some serious ass!
