1989 Chevrolet C1500 Custom Built w/454 V-8

Description

Up for Auction is a 1989 Chevrolet C1500 regular cab short box that has had a complete custom rebuild. This was an older rebuild and we don't know how long ago it was done but we do know it was done after 1999-2000. We also don't know who built it, but we do know this is an awesome truck that you can't build for what our reserve is. The engine is a 454 V-8 with a mild cam, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Quick Fuel Hot Rod Series carburetor with secondary vacuum, and Hedman Headers. This engine is backed with a 700R4 transmission and 10 bolt rear end. The truck rolls on 22" American Racing 5 spoke wheels with 265/35R22 tires on the front and 305/40R22 tires on the back. To give the truck a level stance the rear frame has been properly notched and the springs have been blocked. The front end is a 1999 - 2000 Cadillac Escalade conversion and the back end had a roll pan put on in place of the bumper and a hard tonneau cover placed on the bed. The truck has a beautiful light metallic burnt orange paint with custom hand painted pin striping. The inside of the cab, dash, and doors have been panted to match the outside along the same custom hand painted pin striping. The bench seat has been recovered a nice looking brown that goes well with the color of the truck. The steering wheel has been replaced with a custom chrome and tan steering wheel. We had the tan dyed black and it looks a heck of a lot better. I will get a picture of the steering wheel posted as soon as I can. The original radio has been replaced with a Kenwood CD player and a pair of nice sounding Rockford Fosgate subs installed behind the seat. The truck is equipped with ice cold air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, manual windows, manual door locks, and a manual sliding rear window. We have driven this truck quite a bit and it is very fun to drive. whoever built this truck did an amazing job but you have to remember that this is an older build and it is not perfect. The truck is rust free and well above average but it may have a scratch or chip in the paint. I only say that because I don't want anybody thinking it's flawless. I know the cup to the tailgate handle has a corner broke off(visible in picture) and the dash and door panels have some small cracks in the paint. This truck is a must see and we strongly suggest seeing the truck before you bid because all sales are final and the truck will be sold AS-IS.
