1982 Chevrolet Silverado 10 Square Body Pickup VIN: 2GCEC14C3C1106829 Description Up 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.
