Up for auction is an absolutely beautiful 1986 K20 Silverado. An original Pacific Northwest truck, has no cancer rust whatsoever; cab corners, rockers and floor panels etc all solid. I bought this truck from the original owner who is a retired Fire Marshal and he treated this truck like his baby; tucked away in the garage from day one, pampered and given regular checkups. This K20 was meticulously maintained over the years, original owner told me he changed oil every 1,500 miles and religiously performed all other regular maintenance such as chassis greasing and fluid changes. Truck was driven sparingly over the years, VERY little in the last 10 years, and always garaged as stated by original owner, evidenced by interior (zero dash cracks, almost unheard of) and paint condition; no sun damage and excellent paint luster. Odometer reads 9,141 miles (odometer rolled over once) and is documented to only have 109,141 original miles.
This truck is equipped with the venerable 5.7/350ci engine with factory original heavy duty stainless steel manifolds and dual exhaust. The truck runs like it just rolled off the factory floor, no smoking upon startup or acceleration, and idles smooth. Everything is in excellent condition under the hood with every piece of factory emissions equipment hooked up and working flawlessly. Power is transferred to the tires via TH400 transmission (shifts solid) mated to NP208 transfer case (4x4 works perfectly), semi-floating 14-bolt rear differential and 10-bolt GM front differential (4.10 RATIO), and C6P HEAVY DUTY CHASSIS E option. On top of that all fluids were recently replaced from front to rear, so this drivetrain is good to go without any maintenance.
Body is in incredible shape, factory paint still shines superbly, with a few flaws to be expected here and there. Hood paint is a bit faded and peeling in spots, but that could easily be touched up. Overall for a truck that is 30 years old andhas never been painted,you would be hard pressed to find much better. Bed is in exceptional condition as you can see in the pictures, no major dents or any rust. Handsome factory white steel rims with Chevrolet "Dog Dish" hubcaps and nearly new tires will get you wherever you need to go and in style. With new KYB Gas-Adjust shocks at all fourcorners, not only does the truck look good going down the road, it handles better than new. Steering is tight with no slop and tracks down the freeway at 75mph with ease. Bumpers, trim, grill, tailgate, lenses, etc. are all in great shape and show nicely. Doors shut solid, no sag and they seal well. All glass is clean and clear, no scratching or discoloration to speak of and rear window slides as it should.
Interior is in fantastic shape and super clean! With the Silverado package the trim level is much nicer than the standard pickups. You get power windows/locks, cruise control, intermittent wipers, among other things which all work great. Door pull straps are solid, tilt steering column is tight and slop free, dual fuel tanks switch back and forth, it is all there. Original seat has no rips or stains, original dash pad is crack free, and even the carpet is in good shape and original. I will say it one more time, not one thing has been replaced in interior except the radio! All gauges work as they should, pop the cruise control on and glide to your destination wherever that may be.
If you have been looking for a clean, original, garaged since new, low-mile squarebody that has not been chopped up, rusted out, or lifted with massive tires this is the one for you! Or if you have always dreamed of building your own project from a completely unmolested K-series truck, here it is! Bone stock and beautiful the way it is, or ready for your vision. This truck is an absolute gem, a great color combo and in about as good shape as you could ask for with a 30 year old vehicle. These trucks are getting so hard to find with original paint, no rust and original interior! Bid today with confidence and you will be the proud owner of one of the nicest originals around. This truck needs absolutely nothing as is with all fluids changed, new shocks, and tires. Truck is located in North Bend, WA and a car hauler can load in front of my house, so yes I can assist in getting it shipped, but no, I will not arrange the service. Or drive it across the country, I have no doubts it would go to the east coast and back again. Clean and clear title in my name and in hand.
