1985 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Pickup Truck

Description

Squarebody Chevrolets are hot! And a slammed short n wide 2wd delivers arguably the best body proportions GM has ever offered in a truck. Rugged lines, square-jawed front fascia, and the perfect amount of chrome elevates these Chevrolets from utilitarian to stylish.

The pros at Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn get the credit for this freshly restored and modernized Silverado. Work started by stripping the truck to bare metal, straightening body panels and massaging the fit far beyond production line standards. White basecoat clearcoat paint was applied and polished, then accented with a custom metallic gray grill, wheels, and wide custom hood stripe. Burgundy pinstriping outlining the stripe, and a matching burgundy bowtie perfectly tie in the interior hue. The body was then lowered over killer, custom painted, 19 and 20 inch Budnik aluminum wheels.

Under the hood, the powerplant has been well upgraded with the installation of a 5.3L LS V8 topped with a trick sheet metal intake, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, and custom polished coil covers. The addition of a Texas Speed cam and stainless-steel headers results in a healthy horsepower bump. This modern LS engine coupled to a 4L60 automatic overdrive transmission easily brings the driving experience to 21st century expectations.

Step inside the cabin, and you're greeted with the true Silverado experience. A plush, cloth upholstered bench seat positions you behind a fully restored dashboard updated with Dakota Digital VHX gauges and a Kenwood stereo. Creature comforts include power windows, power door locks, tilting steering column, power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, and air conditioning.

Beyond its utilitarian nature, the short n wide 1985 Chevrolet Silverado screams Americana and is sure to stir conversation at every stop.
