Description

You are bidding on an awesome C10 Silverado with a perfect stance on 20" wheels with a pro touring flair, and drives as such! With 40 years of patina, it is wonderfully original. It is a blast to drive, and you don't need to cringe or worry about road grime, driving down a dirt road, or parking way out in the back 40 of a parking lot to avoid a door ding. Driving through the neighborhood or at speed on the highway it is just plain fun. This is not a show piece, and certainly not a museum piece! It is a great daily driver that you can just drive, clean it up for the local cruise, or dare I suggest you can even use it as a truck!
Prior owner/s did a refurbish of the trucks appearance at some point but I cannot say when it was done. The exterior was repainted and the underside was painted matte black. Everything else seems to otherwise be original less the suspension, wheels/tires, and some upgrades to the motor.
Suspension: A smooth, comfortable drive even though it is lowered. Built in C-Notch with drop shocks / struts
Interior: New front windshield. Side and rear glass is tinted with a freshened up interior.
Exterior: All metal and trim seems to be original This truck has wonderfully original patina from 40 years of use. Call it character, call it patina, whatever... It has dings, dents, scratches from years of actual use. It was built to last and has done so.
Mechanicals: Current mileage: 84854. Recent maintenance done to the truck: replace the battery (83891), replaced the master cylinder and full brake fluid flush (84089), Full synthetic Oil change (84243), replaced all 4 tires (84257), alignment (84281), Fuel Pump/Spark Plugs (84554), Ignition Switch (84556), Starter/Battery Cables/Radiator/Thermostat/Antifreeze flush/replace (84730). It starts everytime, and stops without issue. of note, a full tank of gas registers about a 3/4 tank; so gas gauge is off. Also, the drivers window sticks in the doors felt when you try to lower it. a soft knock on the window allows for it otherwise normal up and down operation. It has heat and I have no concern taking it for a long, long drive. It is a 3 on the tree manual trans, and they can be tricky as the shift pattern is tight. Nonetheless, it is a ton of fun to drive.
It has plenty of get up and go, but that 3 on the tree is not going win you a drag race! HOWEVER, You wanna smoke the tires, it will do smoky burnouts and shred the rubber right off the rims if you want to. I am not a mechanic or body guy and have done my best to describe the truck.
