With its detailed, high-impact appearance and array of top-tier
suspension components in full view, you might be tempted to think
that this 1986 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Tribute Show Truck is all about
visual impact. After all, it features a two-tone, maroon and black
paint scheme so detailed that it must be seen up close to be fully
appreciated. It has a commanding stance guaranteed to turn heads,
and even its shocks have been carefully painted to match the
exterior. But rest assured, this is one of those rare show trucks
that has even the less obvious details looked after. It features
precisely aligned body panels to go along with its custom power
forward-tilting front clip and rearward tilting bed, and as you
draw closer, you'll notice other details like the shiny chrome
bumper in front and the rear roll pan, as well as the clear
lighting on both ends. Yep, a lot of work went into making sure
this showstopper reached its full potential.
Glance inside, and you'll see a custom-contoured black vinyl bench
seat at the center of a very clean interior, bracketed by new
matching door panels and sitting above carpet with a spotless
appearance that suggests it was only recently added. A wood-rimmed
steering wheel sits on the tilting column, and the instrument panel
beyond it houses an array of factory gauges that are joined by a
pair of aftermarket AutoMeter counterparts just below to better
monitor motoring functions.
This exceptional truck has been outfitted with the power befitting
its dominant presence. The 468-cubic-inch V8 lurking under its hood
features a performance cam and is fed by a 4-barrel carburetor
perched on an Edelbrock intake manifold. Fire it up, tap on the
accelerator, and the big block sends just the note you'd want in a
ride like this through its Hooker long tube headers leading to a
dual exhaust that includes electric cutouts. The accompanying
manual transmission features 3 speeds plus a granny low gear to
maximize the engine's considerable torque, and a pair of electric
cooling fans team with an aluminum radiator to keep its operating
temperatures in check. It also features power disc brakes at both
ends, so while this K10 is unabashedly built for shows, you'll have
fade-resistant stopping ability at your disposal while you're out
on the road.
