CARFAX Report

-
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.

Interior:
  • Black cloth bench seat (small tear on the driver's side)
  • Power windows & power locks
  • Tilt steering wheel
  • Cruise control
  • Delco GM original tapedeck radio
  • Uniden PC77 CB radio
  • A/C, heat, and defrost
  • Floor-mounted 4x4 transfer case shifter
  • Trailer brake controller
  • Black rubber floor mats
  • Hat rack mounted inside
This interior reflects the truck's show-truck heritage while remaining fully functional and driver-ready.

Powered by the 6.2L Detroit Diesel, this K20 fires up easily, runs strong, and has benefited from recent mechanical updates. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2021, the truck shifts smoothly and pulls confidently

Notable service and mechanical features include:
  • New radiator installed in 2025
  • Newer dual batteries
  • Newer alternator
  • Newer A/C condenser
  • Dual-fuel tanks
  • 3.73 rear end
  • Dual exhaust exiting the rear
The undercarriage shows normal wear for a 40-year-old truck with no major leaks, typical aged buildup in some areas, and remains structurally solid. A slight rattle from the heat shield is present, but the truck drives well and the diesel engine performs as it should.

History & Documentation:
This is a 2-owner, accident-free Silverado K20 that was used as a showpiece in its early life. It comes with its original owner's manual and remains a rare, well-kept example of a highly optioned square-body ¾-ton diesel 4x4.
