1986 Chevrolet C20 Silverado review from North America
"This has been the best truck I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced the engine twice and had the transmission rebuilt twice. Additionally, there have been several radiators, water pumps, and sets of brakes. There have also been other items, but nothing that warranted selling the truck.
General comments?
The brakes, frame, drive line, hardware, and interior have held up extremely well. There is almost no rust which is exceptional for a vehicle driven through road salt.
Handling is good for a pickup and mileage is still around 17 miles per gallon. The interior is comfortable.
