True!! They need to get it out of the humidity and into a much drier storage facility. EG: The front sway bar had so much rust on it!! If I bought this truck it is going to cost me a lot of time to get all the rust accumulation removed and repainted. I would do it myself, so it wouldn’t cost much, but the time. Send it to a body shop and I see $10K or more. A lot of this truck will have to be dismantled and then put back together. Some of those parts would be much cheaper to just replace,,, every part of this truck is still available essentially, but then it’s no longer the same truck!! It’s worth maybe $60K. The truck is ultra low mileage, but wasn’t stored well. It’s affected a lot by the local environment.

My dad had to sign the note with me and I think the payment was like $67 a month or something!! I loved that thing and it was nowhere even remotely close to excellent condition!! It’s wild how much those trucks have gone up in price since then. I’ve seen them without a drivetrain and rusted out with barely any interior left sell for what I paid for that running and driving truck in 2000 or 2001. I wish I’d have kept it!!

My grandfather bought a 1982 Scottsdale, same as this, shortbed, vertical front bumper guards, but proper rear bumper, flat top, chrome, I don’t know what that bumper on the back of this truck is all about. My grandfather died in 1983 and the truck of course went to my dad, but really to my brothers and then in 1986 when I turned 15 it became my first car. We never did figure out if it was a 305 or a 350, as none of the stickers told that, and we weren’t keen enough at the time to figure it out from the VIN or whatever. But it was a Rochester Quadrajet, my grandfather had the cats removed, and made it dual exhaust with factory type mufflers. He didn’t want it too loud, but wanted power. And it was fast! Off the line if you tipped into it the back tires would light up before it started to slide sideways a bit. My dad had put wider tires on it to “handle a bigger payload”, and it looked like the proverbial bulldog. It was a red that was almost orange, and the lower part was silver/gray, with the same chrome belt trim as this Silverado. It had manual windows and door locks, but COLD A/C, and of course power steering and brakes. My grandfather knew what was needed and what was destined to fail, like power door locks and windows. Cruising along at about 30-40mph and hearing that Quadrajet kick down into WOT was music to the ears, and if it was wet, it just might cut loose from that speed. I got it sideways in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot during a light rain and always loved to hold it sideways as long as possible. Well, I held it too long, sideways down the entire corridor of parked cars, came around the “end”, and surprise, surprise, there was a mid-70’s Gran Prix right in my way. My right front hit the right rear of that car so hard it pushed that car across the next row and into another parking spot, knocking it some twenty feet plus. If cracked the tailight lense and dimpled the massive bumper on the Pontiac. The truck was caved in from the right front corner inwards. It was the hardest accident I have been in to date. My buddy and I both felt the live saving restraint of our seatbelts, otherwise we both would have been flung through the windshield and onto the pavement, and maybe the truck might have landed on us as it spun around, rear end in the air, stopping facing the opposite direction, as if it all happened in slow motion. My knuckles even hit the dash hard from steering wheel flex. We were both fine, but scared shitless. The truck was technically totaled but my dad declared he would rebuild it as it was greatly needed as a work truck, so it got rebuilt, ultimately rusting away by around 1994. A sad fate. Lots of awesome stories with that truck. A book’s worth. It looked the part, went the part, and did us right for years. I got it stuck to the rails and got it out with a come-along so many times, it’s unreal, even uprooting a few pine trees in the process. Only needed a tow once when both bumpers were resting on either side of a hole, no digging was working. That was ugly and almost ripped the front bumper off. The roof was the same color as the lower belt line too. A Scottsdale but not a step side. No hood ornament either. Warped a head once hauling concrete and did the work myself, had both heads shaved to flat and match, and boy did it haul ass after that compression ratio raise. I snuck in thin gaskets too without my dad catching on. Premium fuel was needed after that. Sometimes some octane boost during the summer. At one point my dad was sick of bald back tires. NHRA style burnouts didn’t help, but at Lowcountry Dragstrip, I smoked quite a few Camaros and Mustangs with super sticky tire launches, and admittedly gifted reaction times. Often there would still be rocks stuck in the tread even after the 20 mile drive home. The Colonel wasn’t too happy about that. I paid dearly but it was worth it! I think General Tire should have made my dad a stockholder at one point, as XP2000’s adorned both my Torino and the Scottsdale, p235/65R14 on the Torino, and 15 on the Chevy, and Sam’s Club knew me by name. “Back already?” “Again?” Yeah. Whoops. Seeing this truck was a step back in time to Ole Red. Thank you guys for showing this. When that truck got a rub down from me with good wax, it was damned pretty.

I remember my dad passing on a ‘67 RS with a 327 and a powerglide from the original female owner for $750. My dad wanted a ‘69 with a manual. It was in Stockton, CA…so it was pristine! That was just before he passed on a 1957 190 SL that the guy wanted $4,000. It needed the fuel pump rebuilt and the place in Los Angeles wanted $350. He offered the guy $3,000 for it…but the guy wanted $3,500. My dad said, “Let him sit on it for a week”. When he called him back, someone else came along and gave him the $4k. I bought a brand new K10 loaded Silverado in 1984 for $13,500. Was yellow and white with a 350…even had the AM/FM with cassette. It was a pile of crap off of the lot. Pinged going up an overpass. Sold it for $8,500 and bought a Ramcharger. Much better truck than the GM crap back in the middle 1980s.

My buddy has a 87 K10 loaded Silverado that has less than 30 miles on it . Stored with racing fuel on jackstands . Last time I knew it had 13 miles but he had to move it to a new location and put some miles on it .

I had a '85 Scottsdale short bed, same options as this Silverado except it was a 4 speed, factory Hurst shifter with a 6.2 diesel. Cloth seat, rubber mat instead of carpet. Had a few more miles on it than this one does but it was a very unusual truck.

That truck belongs in a museum where enthusiast can enjoy it. I just snagged a 1993 garage kept WT with 88,000 original miles. I love the simplicity of the crank up windows, air delete and bench seat. The only gadgets being an am/fm and pull out cup holders in the dash. It's a great feeling driving a truck that is straight to the point. It likely listed new at $11,500. I purchased it at $7,500. It should have went for $12,000. Two tiny door dents on passenger, small stains on the seat, original everything except batt and tires.

Yeah just cruising with the window down and the elbow out the window. That simplicity is sublime and nostalgic.

I thought my 86 C-20 454/400/4:10 rear with 38,000 original miles was impressive. But that C-10 makes me tip my hat to that gentleman.

Looks all original except for the rear bumper, most all that I’ve seen came with a chrome step this one has a flat bumper that came on the blazers of that time period which looked better but not sure that the Silverado’s came with that bumper no expert but just saying super nice truck none the less,

I dont understand how those trucks get so BEAT UP.. those panels on the black 85 looked so perfect... I was brainwashed that they came from the factory with wavy sheet metal and were never perfect.. that truck is PRICELESS... maybe $100K thats the least i would sell it for

Love this! Kinda wondering about the condition called 'lot rot'. Does the truck get started and driven just to keep the tires square and the seals from shrinking? Beautiful piece of Americana!!!!!

I bought a new 1985 Chevy Silverado with two tone paint and just about every option. It was beautiful but had the 305 smog motor and the last carbureted engine so it was kind of a dog. Drove it until 1997 when I bought a new F-150 Lariat 4x4 with a mustang V-8. That thing was a rocket by comparison.

My 77 Silverado stays in the garage; it has 107,000 miles and is not modified. I take it out once a month on sunny days. Bought from distant cousin in late 90's, I never expecting it to be a collectors item.
