1986 Chevrolet C10 Silverado
The third generation of the C/K series is a range of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors. Marketed under the Chevrolet and GMC brands from the 1973 to the 1991 model years, General Motors gave this generation of the model line the “Rounded Line” moniker. Produced across 18 model years, this series is the third-longest produced model of American pickup trucks (behind only the Dodge D/W-series/Ram pickup and the Jeep Gladiator/Pickup).
This 1986 Chevrolet C10 is a short-bed standard-cab pickup, refreshed upholstery, and modifications to the drivetrain, suspension, and exhaust systems. Power comes from a replacement 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment consists of 20″ wheels, a Holley carburetor, exhaust headers, air conditioning, and an aftermarket audio system.
This example was manufactured in 1986 and was produced with power steering, electric windows and air conditioning. Presented in Grey with complementary Grey cloth interior upholstery, the 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission.
The cabin features bench seating refurbished under previous ownership in black fabric and vinyl along with matching refurbished door panels and carpeting along with a replacement glove box, door locks, and door gaskets. A steering wheel with the Chevrolet bow-tie logo is said to be attached to a replacement steering column and frames an aftermarket instrument cluster.
Chevrolet’s C- and K-Series trucks received a significant overhaul for 1973. They got a more angular exterior design that earned them the “square body” nickname, suspension improvements that made the ride smoother, and a wider cab. The square bodies benefitted from several evolutions during the 1970s and the 1980s, and they were renamed R- and V-Series, respectively, for 1987 so buyers wouldn’t confuse them with the next-generation “GMT400” trucks launched for 1988. Production ended in 1991.
