1986 Chevrolet C10 Silverado

1986 was the final year of the square body C10 before Chevrolet completely redesigned the truck lineup for 1987. The generation that began in 1973 and ran thirteen years had become one of the most recognized shapes in American truck history, and this was its last hurrah. The Silverado was the top trim of the C10 lineup, bringing a higher level of interior finish and exterior detail that separated it from the base models. This one is finished in bright red with a grey pinstripe, 17 inch chrome five-spoke wheels, and a Belltech Sport Trucks suspension package that gives it a lowered, purposeful stance that suits the final year square body extremely well.

Under the hood is a 383 cubic inch stroker V8 backed by a 700 R4 4-speed automatic. The 383 is a well-proven combination, a 350 block bored and stroked to produce significantly more torque than the factory engine while keeping the same basic small-block layout that every Chevy shop in the country can work on. Power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning make this truck as easy to live with daily as it is satisfying to look at. A Tonno Pro bed cover finishes the exterior cleanly.

Inside, the red cloth interior has been refreshed with new carpet throughout. A custom dash and new radio give the cabin a modern, clean feel without losing the character of the era. Upper and lower control arms have been replaced along with the U-joints, all door rubbers are new, and a new windshield was fitted, making this a truck that has been properly gone through mechanically and cosmetically.

Clean, final-year square body C10s in Silverado trim have been some of the most actively traded trucks in the classic market for the last several years, and a red example with a 383 stroker, the Belltech suspension, and this level of mechanical refreshing is exactly what that market is looking for.
