-V Fine Motorcars is proud to offer this 1986 Chevrolet K20 Silverado, a well-preserved and highly optioned ¾-ton 4x4 finished in Midnight Black and equipped with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel. This truck was originally built as a show truck for horses, complete with a matching trailer in its earlier life, and still carries several of those unique period-correct touches today. With only two owners, this K20 has been tastefully updated, well cared for, and remains a strong-running, clean example of the iconic square-body era.
Exterior:
The Midnight Black paint still presents very well with a deep shine, showing only a few minor imperfections consistent with its age. The body is solid, straight, and rust-free, benefiting from earlier restoration work and years of careful ownership. This truck features several classic show-truck styling elements, including a fiberglass cab fairing with stainless horse emblems, a fiberglass cab visor with cab marker lights, stainless lower body moldings, stainless side window visors, and an orange windshield trim ring that gives the truck a custom period look.
Up front, a Ranch Hand full-replacement bumper adds presence and protection, while out back the truck includes a rear tow hitch with trailer light connection. All chrome trim and glass are in good condition. Additional equipment includes tinted windows, a sliding rear window, and a plastic drop-in bed liner that has protected the bed over the years.
The truck sits on 16-inch American Outlaw wheels wrapped in 265/75 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, and the front axle is fitted with reliable Mile Marker manual locking hubs. Dual-range 4x4 system works exactly as it should.
Inside, the black interior remains clean and original with no cracks in the dash and all gauges and electronics operating properly.
