Vehicle Description
If you've been looking for a rugged, go-anywhere, square-jawed
truck with all the goodies, you've just found one of the best. This
1986 Chevrolet K10 4x4 has clearly led an easy life and looks
fantastic in flashy black and silver paint. With plenty of
horsepower, a competent 4-wheel-drive powertrain underneath, and a
comfortable interior full of luxury features, you just can't buy
more truck for your dollar than this.
30 years later, these trucks STILL look fantastic. Forget
aerodynamics for a moment, and take a good look at the angles on
this truck, which was designed to work for a living, not sip gas.
Always a clean, southern machine, it sports laser-straight body
panels and paint that shines up well but is still prepared to repel
mud and dirt from playing outside. It doesn't appear to have ever
been a work truck, and the short bed/regular cab models often enjoy
the best care because they're personal vehicles, not workhorses.
All the bright trim remains in place, including wheel arch
stainless and side moldings, and even the hood ornament still
stands proud. Up front, you get super bright LED headlights, a
blacked-out grille that gives it a smooth look, and the bright
chrome bumpers look awesome, particularly the diamond-plate step
bumper out back. For durability, a heavy-duty rubber mat protects
the paint and the overall condition of the bed floor suggests that
this truck never really worked for a living. It's incredibly clean
all around.
The factory gray cloth bench seat interior remains in place and its
current condition tells you all you need to know about the easy
life this truck has lived. Aside from some very light
discoloration, the upholstery remains excellent, with no rips or
tears, and gray carpets make it feel luxurious indeed from behind
the wheel. The gauges are original and fully functional, and
they're among the most attractive dials ever fitted to a truck;
nice job, Chevy! Luxury options include cold A/C, power windows,
power locks, a tilt wheel, cruise control, and power steering and
brakes, which are much appreciated with those big tires. There's
also a new AM/FM/CD stereo head unit in the dash (the original
radio is included), and it really has the feeling that nothing was
overlooked when this truck was freshened. There's also a sliding
rear window, one of a pickup's very best features.
Fuel injection arrived in GM trucks in the form a throttle body
setup that looks a lot like a carburetor but gives you easy
drivability and quick starts. The engine bay is incredibly clean
and detailed, and appears to be almost entirely stock save for a
set of headers. The GM Goodwrench crate 350 cubic inch V8 runs
smoothly and actually pulls down decent fuel economy (well,
relatively speaking anyway) and you already know how reliable these
things are. It's been recently serviced with a fresh tune up, new
starter, vacuum lines, and a big new radiator. A 700R4 4-speed
automatic overdrive transmission is linked to a freshly sealed
2-speed transfer case, which feeds both axles when you're
off-roading for maximum traction. Underneath, the chassis is solid
and highly original, augmented by a Flowmaster dual exhaust system
that probably adds a few horsepower and sounds fantastic. The
suspension obviously has a bit of a lift, accompanied by a set of
ProComp shocks. Massive 35x12.5-20 tires are wrapped around a set
of very cool Fuel off-road wheels that give this truck a ton of
attitude.
This cool off-roader is ready to hit the trails or the shows where
it will perform equally well. Call today!
