1985 Chevrolet C10 Custom Standard Cab Pickup 2-Door 350 / 5.7L

Description for Chevrolet C-10 1985

This posting is for a 1985 Chevrolet C10 Silverado. The powertrain is solid and the truck runs really well and has a lot of power. All the hard work has been done. It's an awesome-looking truck from about 20 feet away and has a lot of potential. There are many little things that it needs that can be done in the comfort of your own garage. Given the overall appearance of the truck, its new owner should be able to enjoy it while continuing to work on it. It's a good looking running project and it turns heads everywhere.
These Chevy/GMC shortbeds are becoming very desirable in the collector community. Look at what's happened with their prices in the past 5 years. LMCTruck.com has written that "growth of interest in these trucks is reflected by sales of parts for 1973-up Chevy trucks."

History of this C10:

---Based on the Carfax / AutoCheck, it appears that the truck has spent the majority of its life in Arizona, with 13 years in Alaska. Based on the fact that there is no rust on the vehicle, I would assume that this was either a snowbird vehicle, meaning winters in AZ and summers in AK, or was always garaged and never driven in the snow.
---Previous owner has owned the truck for the past 4 years and has put a lot of work into the truck.
---No accidents on Carfax / AutoCheck.
---Odometer rolled over and stopped working at about 122,000 miles. In analyzing the recorded mileage on AutoCheck, it looks like the odometer stopped working sometime 2013-2015.
Body:
---Truck has been recently repainted. However, it is a 20-footer paint job. The prep was not very good and it has imperfections, including overspray and some paint on the window seals. It looks good from a distance and gets lots of looks though. New owner will likely want to repaint it in a couple years.
---Window seals on both doors are missing.
---The front end is from a 1989 GMC Crew Cab. According to the previous owner, he needed to replace a cracked grille, found a good deal on an entire front clip and decided to install the entire front clip so that everything fit correctly. The body lines are not perfect as a result of this but my body-shop guy says that this can be adjusted.
---The tailgate still has Chevrolet written on it. You can either replace the rear badging to GMC or front grille to Chevy so that it matches.
---Newer headlights from LMCTruck. Headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights all work. High beams are not connected.
---Door handles need to be fastened properly.
---Driver door only opens from inside.
---Front bumper should be tightened. It's a little loose.
---Passenger side rocker panel needs to be replaced. It was cut out for some reason. Either damage or rust. Based on the rest of the truck, I doubt it was rust. Already have rocker panel and will include it in sale.
Powertrain:
---Truck now has a newer 350 V8 from a newer Chevy installed by previous owner about a year ago. Year is unknown. Mileage on the engine is thought to be close to 100,000 miles. There is no documentation for this. Engine has a nice rumble to it but not too much. True horsepower is unknown but feels like it's close to 275, possibly more. It definitely throws you back into your seat when you accelerate.
---700R4 transmission rebuilt 7 months ago.
---Newer Edelbrock Carb
---Newer Flowmaster Dual Exhaust with new chrome tips. Also sounds nice.
---Lowered 3 inches.
---Staggered wheels with wider wheels & tires in the back. Rear tires should be replaced. Front wheels are not an identical match to the rear wheels. Look very similar but not the same.
Interior
---Power steering, power brakes
---Power windows work. Power locks do not.
---Heater and AC not hooked up.
---No stereo and no speakers.
---Horn does not work.
---Dashboard is cracked but covered with a brand-new carpeted dash cover from LMCTruck.com.
---Fuel, voltage, and oil pressure gauges work. Speedometer, odometer, and temperature gauges do not work.
---Door panels will need work or replacement. They are salvageable but will need to be repainted. Missing components are available on LMCTruck.com.
---Currently has seats out of a 95 Silverado. They are power seats but they are not hooked up and can't be adjusted. Drivers seat is not bolted down. Also have the original bench seat. It needs to be reupholstered but is in very solid shape. I will likely remove the newer seats and reinstall the bench seat. Both sets of seats will be included in the sale.
---No seatbelts. Shopping around for them right now and will include them in the sale.
---Brand new molded carpet from LMCTruck.com.
