1985 Chevrolet K20 HD Silverado 4x4

Description

The 1985 Chevrolet K20 was part of Chevy’s long‑running third‑generation “Square Body” trucks, produced from 1973 to 1987. Built on a heavy‑duty ¾‑ton chassis, the K20 featured four‑wheel drive, a robust leaf‑spring suspension, and a reputation for durability that made it popular with ranchers, contractors, and off‑road enthusiasts. In 1985, Chevrolet updated its pickups with improved corrosion protection and more efficient engines, including the 5.7L V8. The truck was offered multiple body styles—regular cab, crew cab, and chassis‑cab—along with practical trim levels like Scottsdale and Silverado.

This regular cab, long-bed 1985 K20 Silverado 4x4 is refinished in yellow and white and powered by a 5.7L V8. The truck was optioned with C6P heavy-duty equipment for an 8,600-lb. GVWR, and power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission, dual-range transfer case, and automatic locking front hubs. Inside, the bench seat wears black vinyl, and amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, and power-operated windows and door locks. Modifications include tube-style headers and an aftermarket exhaust, as well as a spray-on bedliner and 17” alloy wheels mounted with all-terrain tires.

This K20 shows 85k miles and is now offered with its Service Parts Identification sticker, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
