Description for Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 1985

1985 Chevy K-10 4x4 driver with a 6 inch lift.Great daily driver that runs and looks great.If you are a fan of the ''box body'' generation of Chevy pickups, you should check out this outstanding example. It is just what a truck should be and has been kept in the garage most of it's life and stayed stock except for the lift and suspension, the upgraded motor and carburetor, high performance starter, alternator and new battery withsome serious tires and a nice lift. The steering column has been upgraded along with the ignition switch. It's had many thousands of dollars put into it over the last few years so it would always run like a champ regardless of the out of the way location.But be forewarned, that bed looks ready to haul some nice furniture with scratchesand scrapes, so you may suddenly find yourself a bitmore popular amongst your friends. It's an easy fix with a spray in bed liner or another type.Has Chrome bumpers and aluminum rims that need polishing but it's a nice solid truck that runs great. Has a new carb, steering column, windshield wiper motor, nice stereo, new 12 bolt posi differential, 373 rear end gears make it great for climbing in high or low and has no problem cruising at 80 MPH on the freeway to California or the high desert of your choice. The lift was a professional lift so it could still be very useful and steady at highway cruisingspeeds.Open the door and you will find a near stock interior with the comfort and convenience features that will make your time in the cab enjoyable. The door panel has an assist grip, which may come in handy as the truck sits up a bit on those big tires, and once you're in, there's a big old armrest to relax onto. The burgundy cloth interior is in great shape. The bench seat is super comfortable and provides lots of room for passengers. A stock Chevy steering wheel has tilt and cruise with a column shifter for the transmission. Behind it are all the gauges to help you keep track of basic engine functions as well as your speed. It has a souped up chevy 350 as well as power steering and locks. The dash is neat and clean with a nice dash mat.The drivetrain on this truck is tried and true Chevrolet. Pop the hood and you will find a clean engine compartment and almost everything has been replaced with new belts, battery, starter, alternator, ect.Carbureted 5.7L V8 provides plenty of power. All the belts and hoses have been replaced and there is a new fan shroud as well as the factory jacking equipment mounted to the inner fender well. Power flows back through a 4-speed automatic trans with overdrive to the 4WD transfer case that is manually operated. The hubs are also manually operated at the wheels, so there are no pesky switches or solenoids in this system to malfunction. Solid axles and leaf springs front and rear are also as tough and reliable as it gets. There are nice Rancho shocks damping them, as well as a Rancho steering damper to help out in the event those 35X12.50R15 All Terrain for rock climbing, (or a curb or garden feature as you back up to the door to load furniture).A great looking, great driving Chevy, a great daily driver, come take a look and/or have someone test drive and run by a mechanic before you pay, I'll give you the name of the dealer that does all the work for me. It doesn't get much better than this, a clean, straight, never wrecked Chevy Truck and one of the nicest drivers of the 85 Chevy K-10 4X4 models left out there. Just registered and passes emissions and safety checks with flying colors every time. Text with any questions or for more pictures or for an appointment to drive it.
