For Sale: 1985 Chevrolet S10 in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1985 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe has the solid look and affordable price of a useful yet classic truck. But did you notice the stance? You can see a hint of the traction bars and the larger rear tires. There's even a cowl hood. So it shows a few clues that there's a solid small block upgrade under the hood.

The red paint has a nice look to it with a good gloss that helps highlight the well-creased style that makes these S-10s so attractive as classics. It's a nice presentation that can just pass for a quality classic at first glance. There's even a plastic liner in the bed for weekend chores. The idea of this one is to be a cool sleeper. There are little clues like the cowl hood, dual exhaust, and Rally wheels that give this a touch of muscle car forward-leaning stance, but overall, it just looks like that clean and classic pickup that reminds you of a story from the good 'ol days.

The interior continues a somewhat incognito attitude. The red interior is clean and attractive, and even the bench seat looks freshly recovered. The Tahoe level S-10 has some premium details like the silver dash and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. This was even a factory air conditioning truck, but that was sacrificed to focus on power (more on that in a moment.) The overall impression is about reminding you that trucks used to be a simple affair, where the sliding rear window was considered a premium option. But even the best stock S-10s didn't get a Corvette-style steering wheel like you see here.

You can immediately spot the big upgrade the moment you open the hood. These S-10s never had factory V8 power, and so it's terrific to have a 305 cubic-inch V8 in the engine bay. It has been built with an Edelbrock upgrade suite with a four-barrel carburetor with an electric choke, polished valve covers, and a matching air grabber. And you'll spot more well-placed upgrades everywhere from the aluminum radiator with an electric fan to the true dual exhaust. This V8 makes for a terrific power upgrade, but what you'll also like is how this can easily just be a fun cruiser. The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make weekend drives easy.

This is the sharp-looking S-10 that also gives you more power than Chevy ever did. So at a price like this, you know this pickup will be gone soon. Call today!!!
