1985 Chevrolet C10

The 1985 Chevrolet C10 lives in the sweet spot of the squarebody era, when Chevy trucks blended honest work ethic with street-ready attitude. By the mid 80s these pickups had earned a reputation for bulletproof drivetrains and clean, no-nonsense lines, making them a favorite foundation for hot rodders and cruisers alike. Today, well-sorted examples are getting harder to find as collectors chase the last of the classic squarebody trucks. Under the hood sits a 350 V8 backed by a Turbo 400 automatic, a combination that has powered everything from drag cars to tow rigs for decades.
