Vehicle Description
1986 Chevrolet K-10 Long Bed Pickup
Children of the 70's and 80's have fond memories of a K-series
truck. It was the 1982 GMC K2500 driven by Lee Majors in "The Fall
Guy". Jacked up and ready to take on bail jumpers off road and on,
there's never been a more memorable GM 4x4 on television, but maybe
because Heather Thomas was often sitting shotgun. In 2019, Hagerty
placed in #1 in "The Nine Best TV Pickup Trucks of All Time."
For consignment, a 1986 Chevy K-10 , one that immediately conjures
up thoughts of The Fall Guy . The truck went through an extensive
restoration which addressed rust issues and upgraded everything
from the paint to the interior to the sound system. The truck is
long and tall on both looks andattitude. If you want to tone it
down a bit, the original wheels come with the truck.
Note: 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
Black and silver is the theme here as the panels are coated in a
hue that would make Darth Vader take notice. The grille is blacked
out and the diodes in the headlights are set in a black background.
Black bumper guards front a chrome bumper that's in great shape and
polished metal side mirrors add more contrast to the black. Yes,
even the bowtie on the grille is black and so are the 20-inch
MotoMetal 962 wheels. The deep wheels have just the right amount of
silver trim to match the truck perfectly. The trim, body gaps, and
paint all look good. Line-X Platinum bed liner coats the long bed
in uniform fashion and 35% tint coats the windows.
Interior
More silver and black inside with door panels that consist of
molded plastic, velour inserts, and brushed nickel trim pieces. Per
our consignor, new window regulators and wiring were installed on
the doors. The new cover of the bench seat is a combination of
vinyl with velour inserts in black of course, and in great
condition. The two spoke steering wheel is original and shares the
column with the shifter. The clean dashboard houses gauges that
have been enhanced with LED lights and the AM/FM radio has
Bluetooth capabilities and extra speakers in the kick panels. The
range selector is floor mounted and surrounded by newer black low
pile carpet in very good shape. The black headliner and LED dome
light all look great.
Drivetrain
Under the hood we find a 350ci V8which the consignor states is a
Jeg's crate motor rated at 350 horsepower. It's topped by a Holley
4-barrel carburetor and linked to a 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission with 10-bolt differentials front and rear. Power disc
brakes are up front with power drums in the back. The engine bay,
hood liner, and headers all look clean.
Undercarriage
No lift needed here to photograph the underside, and apparently
it's easy to clean too because this belly is spotless! We'd almost
hesitate to take it in mud to avoid messing this up. It was
undercoated during the restoration and still maintains a uniform
underside dominated by flat black. Dual exhaust heads back, sans
catalytic converters, to Flowmaster mufflers then exit out back
through straight, polished tailpipes under the rear bumper. Leaf
spring suspension is found front and rear.
Drive-Ability
A big step up and we're in the cab and high enough to spot forest
fires. The hills that surround Morgantown would be no match for
this beast, but we settle for our flat test loop. The truck sounds
great and runs well with plenty of gusto under the hood. The knobby
tires make some noise but we knew that and the stereo can drown it
out. Meanwhile, everything works except for the A/C.
If you're looking for a cowboy dressed in a tuxedo, look no
further. If you're looking for a square body on steroids, we've got
you covered. If you need a show truck that can haul your Costco
load, we're your go to mall. Lee Majors would approve. Here's a
great truck that has all the right ingredients. All you need to do
is fill that shotgun seat!
