1986 Chevrolet Silverado

Description

The boxy bodies of classic pickups like this 1986 Chevrolet Silverado are now an iconic symbol of toughness. So when it comes beautifully dressed in black, with a 4x4 drivetrain, and all for under $20K...well, that's just downright irresistible.

A recent respray of the factory-correct black, and plenty of chrome trim perfectly represents this top-of-the-line Silverado model. This truck is nothing but straight crease lines, and horizontal brightwork, so it would be impossible to hide any imperfections in the body. Beautiful chrome bumpers, matching bed rails, and upscale Silverado trim make this look far more substantial than its price tag would suggest. The premium appearance is capped off by Rally wheels. Yes, that's right. The feature you look for on the classic Chevy muscle cars was also a factory option for premium pickups, even in 4x4 trim.

This is a pickup that wants to be everyday comfortable, so the original bench seat was upgraded from gray vinyl, to cloth. You've got provisions for air conditioning, but really, there's just something cool about cruising around letting the breeze flow through the vent windows and out the sliding rear glass. From behind the wheel you have a commanding presence over all the gauges and accessories. That's why these Silverados are so popular. They are tough on the outside, but they're long-haul comfortable inside.

A 305 cubic-inch V8 is one of those perfect Chevy motors that fires up nicely, and it swiftly moves this relatively lightweight pickup for a lively experience on the road. The engine is legendary for being quite adaptable, but right now this powerplant appears charmingly original in the very honest engine bay. Part of this truck's comfortable cruising nature comes from the upgrade to an automatic transmission sometime during its three-owner lifetime. It also features power steering and front disc brakes to keep any trip a breeze. And when the pavement ends, the 4x4 drivetrain with two-speed transfer case, and the deep treads in the off-road tires means this Silverado has a true go-anywhere personality.

This is the kind of truck that makes no compromises. It's a cool-looking vintage pickup on the outside with slick black paint; comfortable on the inside; and a reliable drivetrain to take you anywhere. Call now!!
