1985 Chevrolet K10 Silverado 4x4 Pickup Truck

Description

What do you get when you combine the timeless aesthetics of one of America's pre-eminent blue collar heroes with a roster of some of the best performance hardware money can buy? Well, you get a highly polished workhorse that shatters preconceptions, expectations and urbane enthusiasts' egos 'like a rock'! Mixing the universal appeal of all-American style with the road going prowess of a well-massaged custom, this brutally dapper Square Body is one super cool resto-mod. What's better: you can own and drive this exclusive head turner for a fraction of the money and time it takes to complete a ground-up build. Are you an anxious buyer who's tired of the 'garage furniture' culture that seems to pervade the classic car hobby? This sweet Chevy is one of the coolest road-ready hot rods your money can buy!

IT'S COOL TO BE SQUARE

Wrapping choice resto-mod style around an all-American profile, this super clean Chevy benefitted from a detailed, frame-off restoration that marries solid sheetmetal with dynamic Metallic Red two-stage. And, as you can tell from our high resolution photos, that glossy sheen lays excellent groundwork for an array of subtle yet purposeful customization. At the front of the truck, a polished bumper frames a stainless-trimmed aftermarket grille, which centers polished bars between modern headlights, polished headlight bezels and modern parking lamps. Above that glitz, a steel Cowl Induction Hood fronts muted wipers, which clear a crisp greenhouse that's finished with stainless drip rails and tinted vent visors. That dome caps a fully debadged fuselage, which follows modern marker lamps with factory mirrors, factory handles and fresh Body Side Trim. At the center of the truck, a tinted sliding window shades a body-matched bed. And at the back of that bed, a second polished bumper frames traditional taillights and a tasteful, satin-trimmed tailgate that's spiced with a chrome handle.

FOUR, FIVE AND FOUR

Pop this pickup's hood and you'll find 454 cubic inches of dressed Chevy big block that looks almost as good as it sounds! At the top of that monster mill, a Chevrolet Orange air cleaner centers a trick bowtie spinner on four barrels of coated carburetor that are juiced by polished lines and monitored by a small Marshall pressure gauge. That carb feeds a lightweight Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake, which feeds iron, Chevrolet Orange heads. At the back of that intake, a hot HEI distributor sequences fire through loomed Top Street Performance Wires. Spent gases roar through ceramic-coated Hooker Competition headers. A polished Concept One serpentine drive spins a polished water pump behind modern power steering, a polished AC compressor and a polished Powermaster alternator. A polished aluminum radiator fronts a duo of electric puller fans. And naturally, the legendary mill features first rate ancillaries like billet breathers, a polished steering reservoir and color-keyed Proform valve covers.

ROLLING TALL

Bottom-side, a tough 700R4 4-speed hangs a finned TCI pan in front of a requisite 10-bolt axle and a proven New Process transfer case. That clean pumpkin pushes a fully stripped and fully painted frame, which rides a rebuilt factory suspension that's fitted with factory power steering and an impressive Rough Country lift. Stops come courtesy of power assisted discs, which are augmented with a quality Wilwood master cylinder and a handy Wilwood proportioning valve. Exhaust floats from the aforementioned headers into aluminized pipes, which center electronic cutouts in front of rowdy, dual-chamber mufflers and polished stainless tips. Everything rolls on Chevy Truck Rally Wheels, which spin 35x12.50R15 Kanati Mud Hog M/Ts around Rugged Ridge hubs. And, aesthetically, the bottom of this K10 is every bit as impressive as its straight body and hearty engine!

SIMPLY STYLISH

Between the doors, a customized Silverado interior provides a delightfully simplistic driving experience. The fully painted cockpit kicks off with tight Black vinyl that dresses a broad bench seat. That throne faces a straight, Silverado-spec dash, which wraps satin trim around bright Dakota Digital telemetry, Vintage Air climate control and Bluetooth-capable Alpine audio. The driver spins a factory steering wheel around a tilting column. And all that retro goodness rides between clean carpet, a sculpted headliner and Silverado-spec side panels that front power-operated windows.

A nicely finished classic that was built to be driven AND seen, this rowdy Chevy mixes top notch components with killer personality and awesome curb appeal. Looking for a road ready hot rod that's guaranteed to draw a crowd wherever you go? Your search is officially over!
