1986 CHEVROLET C10

OVERVIEW

This 1986 Chevrolet C10 long-bed pickup was refinished in a custom paint job during the seller’s 26-year ownership and features 15-inch chrome wheels, a newer seat cover, and a billet grille. Power originates with a 305ci V8 paired with an upgraded Turbo automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of the spark plugs, starter motor, power steering pump, and battery. Finished in pearl white with blue checkered accents over a gray and black patterned cloth interior, this C10 is now offered with maintenance records, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear California title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

This 1986 C10 long-bed comes from Chevrolet’s Rounded Line era and has a straight, rust-free body per the seller that was professionally reconditioned and repainted pearl white with blue accent graphics and six layers of clearcoat. The body features color-matched bumpers, a billet grille, stainless steel mirror caps, a sliding rear window, and a cargo area that shows scratches from use. The seller notes that there are some chips on the front bumper and a small ding on the top of the passenger-side bed panel.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome 15-inch wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A raised-white-letter tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cab is equipped with a bench seat with a black and gray patterned cloth cover. Amenities include tinted windows and upper windshield, a carpeted dash mat, and floor mats.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation consists of an 85-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and other vehicle information. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 99K miles, which is in line with the mileage shown on the CARFAX report. The seller indicates that the fuel tank gauge sensor is not functioning and that this vehicle does not have air conditioning because the compressor needs to be replaced.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 305ci V8 has reportedly been maintained throughout the seller’s ownership using Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil and a K&N filter every 3,500 miles. Recent maintenance items include a replacement alternator, starter motor, battery, power steering pump and lines, tappet cover gaskets, spark plugs, and more. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted SH-series Turbo automatic transmission and a custom driveshaft with new universal joints. The seller reports the speedometer cable and the gasket seals to the transmission are new.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The shock absorbers are in need of replacement, according to the seller.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report classifies this pickup as being accident-free and damage-free, with the first record appearing in 1990 in California. The vehicle failed a California emissions inspection in March of 2022 but subsequently passed the following week. Maintenance records will be included with the sale.
