Vehicle Description
Neat and clean in White with splashes of chrome, this is a great
looking Silverado. The mid-70s pickups are more popular than ever
these days. They have modern classic styling, drive well, and are
capable of getting the job done without a pile of computers
complicating things. Check this one out.
The crisp clean body lines of this pickup are a great starting
point for the look of this truck. From the side you see a crease
running down the mid-line from front to rear. That is paralleled by
the top line of the fender that flows cleanly along the top of the
door and then the bed. It gives the truck a really solid look.
There is a Silverado badge on the fender and a splash of chrome
trim around the wheel wells. Up front a chrome billet grill of
horizontal lines keeps the look clean and is underlined by a simple
bumper. The cowl induction hood hints at the beast within, but does
so without screaming it out with a bunch of stripes or lettering.
Things are kept equally simple and clean out back in white and
chrome and the bed has been coated with spray in bed liner.
Complementing the look are 5-lug Eagle polished alloy wheels.
Open the door and you will find a stock interior that is a
comfortable place to put some miles in or get some work done. The
door panel has controls at your fingertips for the power windows
and locks along with a comfortable armrest for cruising down the
road. A 4-spoke steering wheel mounted on a tilt column with the
shifter for the automatic transmission sits in front of a stock
dashboard. The tach and speedo are front and center with the fuel,
temp, oil and voltage gauges off to the left. Ventilation controls,
including those for the updated R134 air conditioning to keep you
cool are in the center. A Kenwood stereo is there for your
listening pleasure and there is a sliding back window. The cloth
bench seat is comfortable with plenty of room for three across with
the shifter being mounted on the column.
Pop the hood with the big cowl induction bump on it and you will
find a very healthy, 454 cubic inch, big block. There is a chrome
air cleaner topping an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock
Performer 2.0 intake manifold. Those 454 valve covers nestled under
the alternator and A/C compressor shine through because they are
polished up chrome, and because big block valve covers are huge.
There is a new brake booster and master cylinder along with a new
battery and newer belts and hoses. Long tube headers get the
exhaust heading back through glass pack style muffler that give the
truck a healthy sound and the power flows back through a 3-speed
automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Front disc brakes
provide good stopping ability and the rubber meets the road through
255/70R15 tires all around mounted on those great looking Ridler
wheels.
Neat, clean, comfortable, and more than capable with a healthy 454
under the hood. Come on down and check out this Silverado.
