Vehicle Description
1986 GMC C10 Pickup
The model year 1960 brought the Chevrolet pickup into the modern
era with its C/K series lineup. The "C" designation identified
two-wheel-drive pickups, and the "K" identified 4X4s. The most
common pickup was the C10, a half-ton truck with a 6.5- or 8-foot
cargo box. The C/K series trucks remained essentially the same
vehicle during a series of conservative redesigns, until 1997, when
the 1998 Silverado replaced it.
For consignment a truck starting its life on a farm, as a work
truck. Eventually it found its way to the northeast and became the
brainchild of a builder who saw in his mind what it is in today's
form. A pro street rodded truck, with all the fixings to out race
most challengers, will run on 93 Octane pump gas.
Exterior
To go with its "blown" engine, a lit candle look, starting with the
custom grille, painted bumper, and white hot, to yellow hot, to
orange hot flames, lick themselves rearward until we arrive at the
deep red which covers the remainder of this truck. A little lowered
suspension wise, and a custom-made aluminum bed dripping with all
the red paint, shows the use of stock wheel tubs for the large 15 x
14 Weld wheels with 33" tall rear tires. Up front 15 x 6 wheels
wrapped with radials. A custom flip up metal bed cover reveals a
battery in the bed, but otherwise just miles of ribbed red
aluminum. The rear of the truck includes a large wing style
spoiler, shades of NASCAR truck series, a shaved rear bumper and a
parachute attached.
Interior
With a black and red two-tone bench seat encased within a roll bar
interior, we see a stripped-down version of the original dash. A B
& M ratchet shifter sits snugly in front of the bench. The dash
with its original gauges and configuration, sits behind a Sport
Comp brand column mounted tachometer and shift light. Tinted
windows abound, and a metal roof is noted. A peek at the door
panels reveals them to be mostly original. Power steering and power
brakes are installed.
Drivetrain
A 454ci V8 fitted with a hydraulic roller cam, an 871 BDS
Supercharger, Hooker competition headers, and a dual 4-barrel carb
setup, you are ready to do some ground pounding. A TH 400 3-speed
automatic transmission is attached to the healthy mill, and puts
power to a Dana 60 rear, with a 4.56 gear.
Undercarriage
Showing a nice total rust free, with a little patina for age
slipped in, the under frame and tubs are all in very good,
structurally sound condition. With ladder bar 3 link rear
suspension, most of the power goes right to the ground. The front
includes 2" drop spindles, and 215/75R15 tires on either end. Front
disc, and rear drum brakes, along with the parachute will be
sufficient to slow you down to grab your Wally. Flowmaster exhaust
snake their way rear-ward.
