1987 Chevrolet K10

Description

This ultra-clean 1987 Chevrolet K10 4x4 pickup offers a lot of performance and handsome good looks for not a lot of cash. Pickup trucks are the Next Big Thing in the collector automobile world, and the ones that you can use and enjoy every day are at the very top of the heap.

With a recent repaint in high-gloss black, this truck looks absolutely fantastic in person. The cool thing about the color is that it both looks appropriate on the truck's 1987 sheetmetal, as well as contemporary, since black never really goes out of style. Of course, adding things like the cowl-induction hood gives it a whole different attitude, and you can tell even in photos that the workmanship is first-rate. It appears that this has always been a clean, southern truck, and with black paint, there's really no place for shoddy workmanship to hide. It was treated to a frame-off restoration two years ago, which cost more than $30,000, so you know this isn't some beater. Heck, even the beautifully finished bed looks fresh out of the stamping press with no signs of forced labor in its past, although it now has a spray-in bedliner and stainless bed rails to keep it in top shape. The chrome and brightwork is in good shape, including the bumpers and oversized side mirrors, and fresh stainless fender moldings were installed once the paint was dry.

The all-black interior is the ideal complement to the bodywork, and offers a fresh vinyl seat cover on the original bench seat, so it's comfortable no matter what time of year it might be. OEM-style components like the door panels and dash pad are in excellent condition with minimal wear and the factory gauges are in excellent condition; they're so nice that we strongly suspect they've been rebuilt. Fresh carpets were fitted and the shifter on the floor manages the 2-speed transfer case for the 4-wheel-drive system. In the center of the dash there's a high-end AM/FM/CD/iPod/satellite stereo that powers a set of subwoofers behind the seats, so this sucker really rocks. It's also loaded with options, including A/C, a tilt steering column, and a sliding rear window for those days when you just don't need A/C. Just get in and go have fun!

Under the hood, a rebuilt 350 cubic inch V8 from a K10 Blazer has been nestled between the wheel wells, and someone obviously took their time dressing it up. There's a chrome air cleaner lid and Chevy Orange on the block and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor has been fitted to an aluminum intake, so it's plenty stout. The motor makes wonderful sounds thanks to a set of long-tube headers and a pair of Flowmasters with outlets just under the bed. This sucker snarls! The ultra-clean chassis is neatly finished with no signs of abuse or even aggressive off-roading, and all the suspension modifications are quite nicely done, including the lift kit. Everything has been restored, replaced, or rebuilt, and the vast amounts of cash that went into the build are obvious everywhere you look. Heck, those custom black powdercoated wheels and 38.5-15 Super Swamper tires probably cost 20% of the asking price!

This is one of those trucks that needs nothing to hit the trails, and looks great even on pavement. There's a ton of cash invested here, and it makes a lot of sense to take advantage of someone else's investment. Call today!
