Lot # 5487 - 1982 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 10
Description
1982 Chevrolet Silverado 10 Square Body PickupVIN: 2GCEC14C3C1106829DescriptionUp for auction is a 1982 Chevrolet Silverado 10 pickup, an increasingly hard-to-find Square Body Chevrolet that represents one of the most desirable generations of classic GM trucks. Known throughout the collector and restoration community as the iconic "Square Body" Chevy, these trucks continue to gain popularity among collectors, restorers, custom builders, and classic truck enthusiasts.According to the seller, this truck was originally purchased and utilized by a small regional hospital where it served as a transportation vehicle making regular trips between rural communities approximately 45 to 60 miles apart. The truck was later purchased by a local farmer and remained in private ownership for many years thereafter.The truck is equipped with the desirable 6.2L Detroit Diesel V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. This combination became popular among fleet operators, farmers, and ranchers due to its durability, simplicity, and outstanding fuel economy. According to the seller, the truck consistently achieved exceptionally good fuel mileage during its years of operation. While the exact rear axle ratio is unknown, the seller believes the truck may be equipped with a higher highway-oriented gear ratio that contributed to its fuel-efficient performance.The odometer currently shows less than 40,000 miles. The seller believes this may be original mileage; however, buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding actual mileage. Even if the odometer has rolled over and actual mileage is higher, it would still be considered relatively low mileage for a truck of this vintage.The truck has reportedly been sitting as part of an estate for approximately 20 years. The engine currently cranks but does not start or run. Given the extended storage period, buyers should anticipate performing fuel system service, mechanical inspection, and recommissioning work before returning the truck to regular operation.For buyers seeking a restoration candidate, collector truck, vintage diesel pickup, farm truck project, or classic Square Body Chevrolet, this truck presents an excellent opportunity. The truck appears substantially complete and retains much of its original character.Key SpecificationsYear: 1982Make: ChevroletModel: Silverado 10VIN: 2GCEC14C3C1106829Drive Configuration: 2WDCab Configuration: Regular CabBed: Long BedEngine: 6.2L Detroit Diesel V8Transmission: AutomaticFuel Type: DieselEngine InformationThis truck is powered by the legendary 6.2L Detroit Diesel V8, one of General Motors' first successful light-duty diesel pickup engines.Engine Features6.2L (379 cubic inch) Detroit Diesel V8Naturally aspirated diesel engineMechanical fuel injectionAutomatic transmissionKnown for excellent fuel economyDurable and simple mechanical designStrong enthusiast and restoration followingExcellent parts availabilityThe 6.2L diesel platform remains popular today among:Square Body restorersDiesel enthusiastsFarm and ranch operatorsVintage truck collectorsGM truck enthusiastsWhy Square Body Chevrolets Are So PopularThe 1973-1987 Chevrolet Square Body trucks continue to be among the hottest segments of the collector truck market because of:Timeless body stylingStrong collector demandExtensive aftermarket supportReadily available restoration partsEasy customization potentialDurable GM drivetrainsIncreasing market valuesStrong following among diesel enthusiastsRestoration PotentialThis truck would make an excellent candidate for:Factory-correct restorationVintage diesel restorationSurvivor buildPatina buildFarm truck projectShop truck buildCollector vehicle restorationRestomod projectLS swap conversionCummins conversion projectThe truck appears substantially complete and offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a diesel-powered Square Body Chevrolet.Condition / Seller NotesEstate vehicleReportedly stored approximately 20 years6.2L Detroit Diesel V8Automatic transmissionEngine cranks but does not currently startOdometer shows less than 40,000 milesActual mileage unknown; buyer to verifySeller reports truck historically delivered excellent fuel economyRear axle ratio unknownBody shows cosmetic wear, rust, and age-related imperfections consistent with age and useTruck appears substantially completeExcellent restoration candidateBuyer encouraged to inspect:Fuel systemInjection systemEngine conditionTransmission operationBrakesElectrical systemFrame and body structureInterior conditionPlease review all photos carefully for overall condition.Sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS.Buyer Search KeywordsSquare Body Chevy, Squarebody Chevrolet, Chevy C10, Silverado 10, Chevrolet Diesel Pickup, 6.2 Detroit Diesel, Classic Chevrolet Truck, Vintage Chevy Pickup, Restoration Project, Survivor Truck, Long Bed Chevy, Farm Truck, Collector Pickup, Classic GM Truck, Square Body Restoration, Diesel Square Body, Vintage Diesel Pickup, Patina Truck, Restomod ProjectSpecifications
