This 1985 Chevrolet C10 pickup is a great example of how to do it right. Buy a cool truck in a great color combination and load it up with options. Maintain it perfectly for 26 years. Pass it on to a new owner who will continue to appreciate and enjoy it in the future. In 1985, colors like brown and tan and white were popular, so finding a gorgeous combination like black over silver is a rare discovery. And thats 100% factory paint over original sheetmetal, all of which has been extremely well preserved throughout the trucks life. The C10 pickups were handsome, chiseled machines and today are gaining a lot of popularity as people discover that they can get a lot of style and utility for not a lot of money. This one has been dressed up with things like aluminum bed rails, a chrome step bumper, and a bedliner, all of which add practicality as well as value. The paint, especially for vintage 1985 General Motors, is extremely nice, and the originality is one of this trucks biggest virtues. With upscale Silverado trim, theres also a lot of stainless, including the body moldings, tailgate insert, and large side-view mirrors. Its hard not to love this truck. Another smart choice was the black and gray fabric interior. A nice step up from the usual vinyl, the upholstery would look more at home in a Buick than a pickup, and its just as comfortable. The seat cover shows almost no wear, and the matching black carpets are still dark and undamaged by the suns rays. This one also comes with a ton of options, including factory A/C, power windows, power locks, a tilt wheel, cruise control, and a sliding rear window, reinforcing the idea that this truck was someones favorite cruiser, not a worker. A Jensen AM/FM/cassette stereo is the lone non-stock upgrade, and fits neatly in the original radios location. Chevys bulletproof 305 cubic inch V8 delivers adequate performance for a pickup, but this vehicle was never about smoking tires. Its smooth, comfortable, and reliable, and combined with a 3-speed automatic and a 2.73 rear end, it cruises effortlessly at highway speeds no matter what the load. The engine bay itself is amazingly clean, owing to a comfortable life in the sunny, dry southern US, and there are signs of excellent maintenance throughout. Heck, it still has the plastic intake snorkel, which is often the first piece to dry out, crack, and fall off. The suspension is 100% stock, so you dont have to worry about a bone-jarring ride from lowering springs, and carrying capacity is unaffected. A recent exhaust system gives it an OEM sound, and the brakes stop it without drama. It is fitted with timeless Rally style wheels wearing fat 255/70/15 white letter radials that give it a sporty look. This is what clean living and smart buying will get you, and its time for another smart owner to enjoy this great pickup. Call today!
