The Chevrolet C/K series pickup was produced from 1973 through 1987 and is often referred to as the “Square Body” generation. The design combined traditional body-on-frame construction with updated styling and modern features for the time. By 1986, Chevrolet had refined the platform with a focus on durability, utility, and everyday usability.

The 1986 model year was among the final iterations of the third-generation C/K trucks before the introduction of the GMT400 platform in 1988. The “C” in C10 designates two-wheel drive (with “K” indicating four-wheel drive), and the Silverado trim was the highest specification available, adding comfort and convenience features such as air conditioning, upgraded cloth upholstery, woodgrain interior accents, and Chevrolet’s Comfortilt steering wheel.

This 1986 Chevrolet C10 Half-Ton Silverado shows just 3,006 miles on the odometer and was assembled at General Motors’ Oshawa, Ontario plant. It is powered by its original 5.0L V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The truck is finished in Bright Red over Doeskin Tan in the Deluxe Two-Tone paint scheme with a Burgundy Custom Cloth Bench interior. This color combination was featured in Chevrolet’s 1986 promotional materials and was a standard offering for the Silverado trim that year. According to the selling dealer, this C10 retains its meter-verified original paint and interior upholstery, consistent with its long-term ownership and careful storage. It is accompanied by extensive original documentation including the RPO codes in the glovebox.
