Vehicle Description
Squarebody trucks like this 1981 Chevrolet C10 Silverado are very
popular and super collectable these days, so much so that we have a
hard time keeping them in stock (people tell me that's called one
of those 'good' problems). With a great two-tone color combination,
a powerful 350 V8 under the hood, and a bevy of factory options,
it's a wonderful example of one of the most popular vintage trucks
on the road today.
The short bed/regular cab setup gives any pick-up a sporty
demeanor, but these late-70s, early-80s Squarebody Chevys have
really nailed the look. Dressed in vibrant two-tone Blue and
silver, this Silverado looks less like a working-class jobsite
fixture and more like something you'd want to drive every day and
show off on a Saturday night. The top driver-quality paint and
bodywork undoubtedly helps with that attitude, and the clean lines
of the original truck are easy to love. It was obviously repainted
not long ago and has a very authentic look, offering a shine that's
appropriate to the era and obviously it's not subject to the
cracking and peeling that plagued other GM models of the period.
red pinstripes play the line of demarcation role perfectly as a
needed buffer between the two contrasting shades, and with hardly
any imperfections to speak of, this dialed-in driver could easily
be shown on the local circuit as well. An aftermarket grille and
bumper were installed up front for an updated look that really
works with the truck's lowered and raked stance and overall street
presence. A black bedliner that's tough as nails was installed
inside the bed, and even though it's very clean and straight back
there, the bed is also tough enough to handle some heavy-duty
loads.
The original style interior is very tasteful in factory Blue,
further punctuated with a gorgeous cloth cover on the very
comfortable bench seat, a neatly stitched dark blue dash pad, and
non-cracked door panels at the flanks. Thanks to a relatively
recent refreshing, it's in great condition with numerous factory
options and a few well-chosen aftermarket pieces that blend
together seamlessly. In addition, the plush blue carpets are
protected with matching floormats, the headliner above it taut and
clean as can be, and even the carpeted kick panels and lower
portion of the doors are all beautifully presented. Options include
factory A/C, power steering and brakes, an AM/FM stereo, and a
leather-wrapped 3-spoke wheel, all of which make this Box Chevy
pickup a true pleasure to drive. Factory gauges ahead of that
steering wheel wear crisp, clear markings, and they do a great job
keeping an eye on the powerful small block under the hood. Freshly
appointed and supremely comfortable, this truck's cabin is a very
special place in which to spend some time.
An uber-dependable and powerful 350 V8 is plenty to get this truck
moving and to haul just about anything that'll fit in the bed. With
good horsepower and plenty of torque, this powerplant really scoots
around town easily thanks to the help of the big Edelbrock 4-barrel
carburetor and Edelbrock performance intake running the show up
top, and it has a great muscle car V8 soundtrack to go with it
thanks to the dual exhaust system below. The engine bay is neatly
detailed and organized, including a chrome open-element air
cleaner, and polished valve covers. Turn the key and it starts
easily (although it can be a bit cold natured when it's chilly
outside), which is what you'd expect from a small block Chevy, and
it feels like a far younger vehicle from behind the wheel thanks to
years of careful maintenance and care. A TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission spins a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end filled with what
we believe to be standard gears out back, making highway cruising
easy and relatively efficient, and power steering and power front
disc brakes reinforce that very point. 18-inch American Racing
chrome wheels take a modern spin on the vintage look, and
all-around fitment that fills the fenders perfectly and punctuate
the slammed-and-raked stance.
Dialed-in, looking fresh, and ready for the road right now, this
Silverado is about as turn-key as they get. If you want to join the
Squarebody party straight away (before it gets priced out of
reach), this may be your last chance. Call today!
