Equipped with a big block V8 and recently spruced up with a new coat of paint, this 1986 Chevrolet C20 Camper Special stands at the ready to be your proverbial workhorse. More than capable of handling all the equipment you might heap upon it, it's also plenty solid enough to be your daily driver as you embark to ply your trade at worksites near and far.
After more than 30 years in service, everything still remains straight and true on this venerable truck. From the sturdy chrome push bar up front that's entrusted with protecting the deep black grille behind it, to the stretch of steel diamond plate running under the cabin to the flat black steel grate mounted behind the rear window to guard against shifting cargo, this truck is no blue-collar pretender it's all about rugged service. It's looking great, as well, having recently benefitted from a new, especially clean paint job that's set off nicely by all that chrome in front and the flat black rear bumper with chrome dual exhausts to the rear. It wears its years well the front bumper sits table-straight under that black grille and the doors have a uniform gap around them. From the back, the raised Chevrolet lettering stands in relief against an undamaged liftgate. It sits a bit higher than stock, with a slight incline that further underscores its rugged capability.
Inside the cabin, the saddle colored vinyl interior is in fine shape. The two-toned bench seat doesn't shows a lot of wear and remains very comfortable, and the door panels on both sides look particularly fresh and grime-free, flushly-mounted against their steel surroundings. Take a look through the matching, padded steering steel with its blue Chevy bowtie in the center and you'll see that the saddle-colored dash area, offset by freshly painted white steel underneath, has been well-looked after. The full complement of gauges stare back at you through clear lenses, encircled by freshly-detailed silver bezels and surrounded by the burl-pattern of the instrument cluster. It may give off a stone-cold serious vibe, but this is far from a spartan truck, as it's equipped with an A/C system complete with a new compressor - breathing plenty strong through new-looking and well-placed black registers - as well as cruise control and a JVC AM/FM/CD player. In back, the bed looks just as you would want in a serious work truck like this, a sturdy steel surface showing no obvious dents on its floor or sides, only hearty evidence of its service.
Lift the hood and you'll be able to tell right away that this C20 is no plodder. That's a 454 V8 residing in the freshly cleaned engine compartment, the strongest powerplant available at the time this truck began life, putting out plenty of torque for your everyday needs. Well-detailed with a fresh set of valve covers and an Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor and air cleaner, it fires right up, idles smoothly and is paired with a sturdy TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Combine this rock-solid drivetrain with power steering and power brakes - discs up front - and you have all the evidence you need that this truck is more than capable of being your daily driver. This sturdy workhorse sits on a set of 15" steel alloy rims, wrapped in Hankook radials.
