Vehicle Description
Why This Car Is Special
This truck is special from every angle you look, and mechanically
it is very special. Let's dive in and explore why!
Mechanical
1989 Chevrolet Silverados weren't known for their incredible power.
This truck changes that with a built 468 CID V8 with more bolt on
power adders than you can count. Full length Hooker headers running
to dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that exit through the
sides of the bed let onlookers know this truck is far from stock.
An aluminum air gap intake is topped with a Holley 4-barrel
carburetor with a clear air cleaner for a cool custom touch.
Nitrous, Line Lock, electric fans, electric fuel pump, and a
B&M shifter make this truck feel more like a race car, but it
is very streetable. Power steering, power brakes and A/C make this
truck as comfortable as your daily driver. A Turbo 400 automatic
transmission handles the shifting and runs to a built 10-bolt rear
end with big meats in the back on 5-star aluminum wheels to make
sure every bit of the power gets to the ground.
Interior
The interior is a nice blend of stock 1989 Chevy and custom
features. The high back bucket seats and custom center console are
a nice addition. The shifter has been moved from the column to a
B&M unit on the console. The headliner is aftermarket with a CD
player and speakers that gives the inside a very clean look. The
dash retains the factory gauge cluster but the addition of several
switches and gauges bring you right back to reality. There are
switches for the fans, fuel pump, line lock, nitrous, additional
lights and more. The gauges consist of a large dash mounted
AutoGage tachometer and 3 gauges on the A-pillar to let you monitor
temperature, oil pressure and amperage. A Budnik aluminum steering
wheel has been added to finish off the interior with a subtle
custom touch.
Exterior
This short bed regular cab Silverado was the perfect starting place
for this build. It has a great look when stock, and this one was
taken over the top. The tailgate handle was moved to inside and a
tonneau cover was added to give a nice finished look. A cowl hood
was bolted on and a Candy Apple Green paint job with silver stripes
was professionally sprayed over the body. The paint is a mile deep
and competes with anything we have in our showroom. The rear bumper
was replaced with a roll pan with Corvette taillights and a license
plate mount. The front bumper was smoothed and painted and a front
valance with fog lights was added to give the front end a more
aggressive look. All of the lights are clear lenses with LED lights
up front and a billet grill with SS badging ties it all together.
Lastly, the windows were tinted because, let's face it, this truck
wouldn't look right with clear glass.
Conclusion
This custom Silverado is ready to show, cruise or use as your
driver on nice days. It has a lot of time and money invested and is
an out of the box show winner. You couldn't build this truck for
anywhere near the asking price.
