1986 Chevrolet C10 Silverado review from North America
"Great truck, an American classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ac condenser had a hole in it.
Wiring block was rusted and needed to be replaced.
Pinion seal was leaking.
Oil pan leak.
I let it sit every winter, so rust doesn't get on it, so I don't blame it for the leaks.
General comments?
It's been a great truck; very reliable with much less repairs needed than most vehicles require.
Mine is restored so it looks amazing. Gets 17mpg, which is better than my dad's 07. Doesn't have that much power though.
I'd definitely buy another.
