1983 Chevrolet C/K Truck Silverado

Those who follow the classic car/truck market likely realize that the so-called Square Bodies are very popular. The term comes from the squared-off styling of the 1967 through 1987 Chevrolet/GMC pickups, what many consider to be the proper look for a pickup truck. In this realm, the preferred body type is a standard cab with a long bed, giving the pickup a stout, muscle truck vibe.

Here we have a Square Body, specifically a 1983 Chevrolet K20 Silverado long bed 4x4. This long box Chevrolet pickup received a no expense spared frame-off restoration. Highlights include all new glass, chrome bumpers, front grille, LED lights, emblems. Suspension lift of 4 inches and body lift of 3 inches. Polished American Racing aluminum rims are wearing new Super Swamper IROK 36 x 13.50 tires. The body panels are new GM and arrow-straight and the high-quality paint looks fantastic.

Underneath, the suspension and brakes were completely refurbished, including new Skyjacker shocks and springs feature 4 inches of lift, new stainless-steel brake and fuel lines, new exhaust system and new GM gas tanks.

Under the squared-off hood is a freshly rebuilt 454. The TH400 automatic transmission was also rebuilt as was the 4x4 transfer case. The K20 is equipped with power steering and power brakes.

Back then, the Silverado moniker stood for the top trim level, before it later became the actual model name for Chevys full-size pickup line. As such, the interior of this truck is plush and nearly every option was checked off as it has air conditioning (converted to R134), tilt steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, power locks, an AM/FM stereo, full instruments and a sliding rear window.

Looking like a page out of the 1983 Chevy truck brochure, the interior was completely restored. Highlights include a new GM dash pad, custom leather door panels, carpet, trim, clock, gauges, hardware, and weather stripping. All the brushed aluminum accents are new as well.

Out on the road, this amazing pickup runs and drives as good as it looks, as only test miles have been added since the nut-and-bolt restoration. If you're looking for one of the best examples of a later (and loaded) Square Body, then youll want to check this one out.
