EXTREMELY CLEAN, 388 V8, 700R4, 4X4, A/C, PWR STEER/FRNT DISCS/WIND/LOCK, LOADED

Description

With trucks becoming more car-like everyday, there is starting to be a real call for the classic bulldog pickups like this 1985 Chevrolet Silverado. This 4x4 has the great no-nonsense looks, and carries some serious power invested in a performance small-block, to make a vintage truck that can turn heads even while hauling the toys.This Silverado looks downright spectacular with the respray of its original Frost White. Maybe it's the way the paintwork rivals the chrome bumpers and bedrails for shine, but it looks aggressive and clean all at once. It's pretty obvious that this one has been only personal transportation since it was new, especially as a regular cab/short bed model, and most of its hauling was probably limited to personal gear and helping friends move. As a result, its bodywork is clean, smooth, and straight, with a great shine that stands out nearly thirty years after production. Just in case you want to do any serious hauling with this one it has been given a spray-in bedliner. While the truck gives off the impression of an exceptionally clean truck like it would have left the dealer lot, the hint that there has been some tasteful custom work comes from the bright Ultra six-spoke alloy wheels that are built tough and accept the front locking hubs.The interior is just like the exterior, in that it looks like a premium stock truck at first glance, but a closer inspection reveals more nice upgrades. This Silverado was loaded with options when it left the dealer back in 1985, so it makes the perfect foundation for the ultimate hauler. Power windows, power locks, tilt steering column, cruise control, and a sliding rear window all make it a pleasure to drive. The original air conditioning unit has even been converted to R134a for easy servicing. These pickups were focused on the driver, and when you get behind the wheel, you'll notice a few interesting features. The full gauge package has been upgraded to outstanding Dakota Digital units, for better readouts, and they also glow a cool red that matches the interior. There's also a full stereo system that includes a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player with iPod hookup, and kicking subwoofer, so you play your modern tunes.The best upgrade on this Silverado lives under the hood. It's a bored small-block V8 that now displaces 388 cubic-inches. But it's more than just big size that delivers the big power. This motor also has also been specially built with upgraded with features like a Scat crankshaft, Keith Black pistons, Comp camshaft, Profiler aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, and Holley 670 CFM four-barrel carburetor. The result is a seriously wicked sound coming from the MagnaFlow dual exhaust. This is backed by a very desireable 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, and then the power gets sent to the road via a Richmond rear end with a 4.10 ratio. This pickup is truly up for anything. Features like the power steering and front disc brakes are perfect for a daily driver, but when it comes time to have a little fun, the 4x4 drivetrain, and Firestone Destination A/T tires will allow this Silverado to go just about anywhere it wants.This is the truck that works hard and plays hard. It gets a lot more attention than a new 4x4, is loaded with options, and costs thousands less. Call today!!!
