1986 Chevrolet Other Pickups Description

This 1986 Chevrolet K10 is really nice 4x4 pickup. Nothing radical, just a well-executed suspension lift, a smart-running small block V8, and a sharp Midnight Blue paint job that sticks to the factory recipe. This is simply a lot of truck for the money.You already know we love these trucks around our showroom and we probably sell more of them than just about anyone else. So it makes sense that when a nice one shows up, everyone kind of takes notice. This pretty Midnight Blue K10 has that rugged, square-jawed look that makes these trucks the latest and greatest collector-value haulers and the finish is really quite good. It's not so nice that you'll be afraid to hit the trails with it, but when you get home and hose it off, it'll look good enough to go out to dinner that night. It's not flashy, but if a pickup can be elegant, this truck nails it. Nice chrome bumpers with big bumper guards up front, a heavy-duty rear bumper, and oversized mirrors make it practical as well as attractive and you can tell just by looking in the bed that this truck has probably never had to very work for a living. The gray interior is typical GM no-nonsense, with a wide bench seat, a handsome wrap-around dash, and plenty of creature comforts. There are new carpets on the floor and we're guessing that's a new seat cover in a nice-looking velour fabric, but it appears that the door panels are nicely preserved originals and the dash is in great shape with no cracks caused by UV damage. The gauges are also original and monitor all the engine's vitals, all surrounded by a nice-looking brushed stainless dashboard. Options include A/C, power windows and locks, a tilt column, and a factory Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo system and all of it is in working order. Heavy-duty floor mats are a welcome site if you plan on heading into the dirt. The transmission shifter is on the column, but as usual, the 4x4 system is actuated by the floor-mounted transfer case shifter, which also works like it should.For power, this Chevy relies on a tried-and-true 350 cubic inch V8. It's fairly stock, so reliability is not compromised and it still starts, idles, and drives pretty much like the factory intended, although the Edelbrock Carburetor and intake manifold probably add a few useful horsepower. The engine bay is incredibly clean, suggesting that this truck has never really ventured too far off road, and it's been dressed up with Edelbrock valve covers and a matching open-element air cleaner. The lift kit underneath is 100% springs (no blocks or other halfway solutions) and it sits high enough to climb over boulders without hurting anything vital underneath. The transmission is a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive, so it's actually reasonable on the highway, and the two-speed transfer case and heavy-duty axles make it invincible in the slippery stuff. Long-tube headers and a custom dual exhaust system probably add a few horsepower and give it an awesome V8 soundtrack, and those factory Rally wheels with giant 33x12.50-15 BFG Mud Claw radials look exactly right.Nothing radical here, just a nicely finished truck with some smart, well-executed upgrades. If your tastes run more towards playing in the dirt, then this Chevy deserves a closer look. Call today!
