1985 Chevrolet K10

Description

This 1985 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe K10 strikes that perfect balance of showmanship, affordability, and true working ability.

This truck makes a great first impression. The red has plenty of gloss to grab attention immediately. And then all the custom elements come into view. The billet grille gives it a beefy face, and the factory premium trim with hood ornament adds class to this burly attitude. The pinstripe that goes down the side and across the tailgate highlights how straight the sheetmetal is – a near impossibility on a classic truck. And many of these shiny upgrades add function, too. The side steps are handy to go with the tall 4x4 prowess, and the bed rails help you take full advantage of the longer bed in this pickup. There's even a trailer hitch, which can make this the coolest vintage truck everywhere from the campsite to the boat ramp.

We love a black vinyl interior in muscle cars, and so it looks terrific in a brawny truck, too. There has been an investment in new materials like the seat cover, dash pad, and door panels, to make sure this looks deep, dark, and premium. We love this generation of Chevy trucks because it's all focused on the driver. Everything from the heat/defrost sliders to the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo is a finger's reach away. But the piece we think you'll like the most is the sliding rear window. When combined with the side vent glass, it provides the kind of breeze through the cab that only an old-school truck can provide.

Under the hood this Chevy has been upgraded to a 350 cubic-inch crate motor. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it's exactly the kind of V8 power you want when the road ends. In fact, combined with the 4x4's two-speed transfer case and the deep groves of the Nexen Roadian tires, this is a true go-anywhere machine. But even when your destination is just across the city, this one has the right anytime driving features. Power steering, front disc brakes, and a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive make every trip an easy one.

This is the classic Chevy pickup with some nice flash and a whole lot of substance. But when something desirable is also affordable, then you know there's only a short amount of time it remains available. Call now!
