12k-Mile 1986 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe Short Bed Pickup

Description

Completely overhauled from front to back, the all-new, third-generation 1973–1987 Chevrolet C/K trucks earned the nickname "Square Body" for their distinctive lack of curves. Oddly enough, at the same time these trucks are also known as the "Rounded-Line" generation by GM, as their exterior was designed using wind tunnel technology to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency — their curved windshield and side door glass help to reduce air turbulence and noise in the cab. 

Third-gen C10s remain popular among enthusiasts due to their reliability, rugged design, and ease of modification, and few factory stock examples can be found in as high-quality condition as this original 1986 Chevrolet C10 Custom Deluxe pickup. Reportedly owned by a single family until the seller’s acquisition in 2024, the truck shows 11,655 actual miles, verified by CARFAX. The C10 is powered by a 4.3-liter Vortec V6 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Light Blue Metallic over blue vinyl upholstery. Features include running boards, window vent shades, 15-inch Rally wheels, an AM/FM stereo, and a heater.
