With its aggressively lifted stance exposing a set of beefy, Super Swamper off-road tires that show plenty of tread, this 1985 Chevrolet K10 Silverado 4x4 has an unmistakable, "ready for action" appearance that really suits it. It's a great-looking truck and while you can see subtle evidence of its rugged abilities being put to use, with its factory-correct light blue metallic paint presenting well and its bumpers and upgraded chrome body trim, a by-product of its top-tier Silverado designation, in solid shape. Better still, this truck's rugged good looks come with a solid running drivetrain.
The light blue interior remains in stock configuration and has held up nicely. The cloth bench seat is comfortable enough for even longer journeys. Up front, the dash area has received the same treatment and while the freshness of its cover suggests that it was likely replaced not long ago, the work was done with precision. The gauges inside the instrument cluster still function as intended.
More than 40 years after it first rumbled off the factory floor, this Chevy truck runs strong enough to pass muster with even the most stringent classic truck enthusiast. It's original 305-cubic-inch V8, equipped with a Holley Demon four-barrel carburetor that sits on top of an Edelbrock intake manifold, fires up promptly and idles smoothly. Step down on the gas pedal and you'll be pleased with the acceleration it offers as the engine exhales into a pair of long tube headers that minimize performance-robbing back pressure, sending just the right note out of its tailpipes via the added Flowmaster mufflers. Power steering makes this truck easy to maneuver, while power brakes that feature discs up front bring it to a stop with no delay. Unlike many trucks that ride on sizable tires, this K10 steers pretty easily and its ride is fairly smooth. And should a sense of adventure prompt you to venture from the asphalt and onto more rugged terrain, its four-wheel drive function works without a hitch.
