Vehicle Description
This 1983 GMC, now made to look like a Chevrolet Silverado
certainly looks distinctive on the outside, but the real treat is
beneath the skin. It now has a big 500 cubic-inch V8 and an
overdrive transmission that makes this bright red pickup powerful,
versatile, and truly a custom machine.
You know this truck is different from the moment it first comes
into view. The front end is an updated style borrowed from the
related Suburban/Blazer after its final update. More than just a
modern face, this truck looks absolutely sporty. It was upgraded to
a Candy Apple Red with a nice metallic that radiates in the
sunshine. And the gloss of the paint loves to highlight the crisp
lines of the sheetmetal. The red is racecar-like, and so the
burgundy racing stripes on the hood seem like the right addition.
It's part of a powerful look that includes upgrades like the
aerodynamic tonneau cover, large dual exhaust tips, and upgraded
five spoke alloys. And there's even plenty of sophistication in
this upgraded truck, too, with details like the shining chrome
bumpers and color-matched windshield sunshade.
The upgrades continue inside. The seats are a set of high-back
buckets with fold-down armrests. It basically looks like they were
borrowed from the same Suburban that gave its front clip, and you
know those Chevys are truly long-haul comfortable. And the smooth
dash with wood-like trim has a luxurious look and feel. There are
more worthwhile features, like an AM/FM/CD stereo, tinted windows,
and sliding rear glass. But a truck like this is really built for
the driver. We love how this generation pickup has an instrument
panel that wraps around you, and the tilt steering column really
makes it easy to get a commanding position. And that big AutoMeter
Sport-Comp tach mounted below the dash is an instant indicator to
get ready for something special in the engine bay.
This generation GM truck may have had some cool Chevy small-blocks
under the hood, but they never saw Cadillac power. So this 500
cubic-inch V8 is unique for both its lineage and it's monster
displacement. With this kind of upgrade, it's now unknown If the
odometer reflects actual mileage. Topped with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, the motor fires up readily, idles nicely,
and makes a terrific rumble out of the dual exhaust. The 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit that knows how to
handle a big motor like this, and at the same time, it also shits
easily into overdrive comfort. Plus, with power steering, power
brakes, and front discs, this powerful pickup is also an all-around
driver.
This truck has the look of an upgraded and powerful machine, and
the big Caddy V8 means it knows how to deliver on its impression.
So if you want a special custom truck, call today! (This truck is
titled and will be sold as a GMC)
