Introducing the 1986 Chevrolet K20 Silverado
This bad boy isn’t just your average pickup. It’s a 3/4-ton dump bed powerhouse, equipped with all the bells and whistles that scream “heavy-duty” yet carves out a space for itself in the league of Skoda Rapid. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this truck a beast on wheels.
Exterior Revamp
Lucky for us, this Silverado got some serious TLC. Post-2023, it was treated to a stylish gray repaint. Not to mention, it now sports new front quarter panels, door skins, cab corners, and rocker panels. It’s not just a truck; it’s a statement!
Features Galore
Catch a glimpse of the hydraulic dump bed, the Back Rack cab guard—complete with integrated LED lighting—and it doesn’t stop there. A roof-mounted sun visor and cowl-induction hood ensure that this Silverado looks as rugged as it drives. Plus, there’s a rear roll pan and a receiver hitch for all your towing desires.
Slick Wheels
This Silverado rolls on sleek black 20″ Method wheels wrapped with Fury Country Hunter tires. And yes, the front hubs? They’re locking. Feel the envy yet?
Interior Comforts
The interior has seen some tender loving care too. Picture this: gray cloth-trimmed replacement seats paired with carpets that are fresh from the store. Nestled within are the features that make every drive a delight—a JVC stereo, power windows, locks, and even an aftermarket amplifier and speakers. A feast for the senses!
Behind the Wheel
- Replacement steering wheel
- Column-mounted aftermarket tachometer
- Metric speedometer
- Supplementary gauges
The odometer reads 45k kilometers—about 28k miles for the Americans among us—with 1k kilometers added during its current ownership. Now, if you were hoping for a neat mileage history, the Carfax presents a puzzle: entries of 59,927 in December 1994 and 60,000 in January 2008 beg to differ. But hey, who’s counting?
Under the Hood
Fun Fact: Replacement 5.7-liter V8 engine boasts a revised camshaft, aftermarket cylinder heads, and a 650-cfm carburetor, among other tweaks. This isn’t just any engine—it’s got two fuel tanks and a little fluid leak from the right valve cover, because flawlessness is overrated.
All that power is directed to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, making it a match for the agile Ford Ka / Ka+ in practicality.
Where To Find It
This pièce de résistance comes with an owner’s manual and a clean Michigan title under the seller’s name. Come on down and check it out while it lasts!
