Vehicle Description
Take this 1992 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4x4 pickup home and you'll
be faced with a dilemma: show it off or have a party with it off
road? Recently resprayed to a high level, very well-maintained, and
totally capable, this big 4x4 will take you anywhere, and look
really darn good when it does.
Bright blue isn't the first thing that springs to mind when you
think about a serious off-road machine, but after seeing this
pickup, it looks simply amazing. A team of experts went to work on
the extended-cab, short-bed truck, adding the GMC front clip, then
smoothing the rest until it was ready for several coats of that
cool blue paint. A few coats of clear, some buffing and rubbing,
and voila! It's ready for primetime. Along the way, it received a
few other upgrades, including a fresh chrome bumpers fore and aft
that look amazing, a professional spray-in liner in the bed, fresh
Z71 decals, and every badge and emblem save for the one in the
middle of the grille was shaved. In contrast to the monochromatic
trend, the grille is blacked out and trimmed in bright chrome to
match the OEM bumper, and crystal clear headlights and parking
lights were fitted, giving it a bright-eyed look that's quite
up-to-date and modern.
The interior is pretty stock, but it's also pretty nicely preserved
and in excellent condition. The buckets and center console give an
upscale look and feel to the Chevy pickup, but they look so right
here and provide an added layer of comfort, the stock door panels
are clean and house the controls for the power windows and locks,
and the plush carpet below is protected by heavy-duty vinyl floor
mats. The most obvious component to brag about inside the cab is
the dash, which is all-stock and free of cracks- something seldom
seen in GM trucks from this era, as them materials used in the '80s
and '90s tend to warp and splinter quickly under the sun if not
treated and cared-for properly. All the gauges and switches are
original and in great working order, and there's even an original
AM/FM/Cassette player right where it's supposed to be, and it
works! A/C, power windows and locks, cruise control, and a tilt
column with an original 4-spoke steering wheel make it comfortable
enough to drive all day, on-road or off.
The fully dressed 5.7L TBI V8 under the hood is believed to be the
original block this truck was born with, and with only 121,974
miles on the clock of this legendary power train, it delivers the
power you'd expect from a truck that looks this formidable. The
throttle-body injection on this small block means that it fires up
immediately upon command, and stock exhaust manifolds feed a newer
single-to-dual exhaust system that sounds muted but muscular thanks
to a burly chambered muffler. The engine has certainly been
detailed to show-off, with stock black valve covers, a matching
snorkeled air cleaner, and clean, maintained components everywhere
you look. R134a A/C lines feed the compressor, and the power brakes
and power steering systems boast this truck's easy drivability. The
chassis is incredibly solid, with no evidence of off-road abuse,
showing off a lifetime of easy living under the tutelage of 1-owner
in the warm Texas climate. A 5-speed manual transmission with a
heavy-duty clutch handles the power and spins the massive 14-bolt
rear end out back, making it a more than capable performer that's
still able to climb through the rough stuff when needed. This 4x4
sits tall on a set of original steel wheels adorned with beauty
rings and center caps, all wrapped in oversized 265/75/16 Goodyear
Wrangler off-road radials.
Civilized yet capable, this Silverado 4x4 is an impressive machine
that does it all. Call today!
