Vehicle Description
This 1978 Chevrolet K10 Silverado 4x4 stands above the
rest...literally. We know you'll like the vibrant paint, beefy
attitude, and seriously powerful V8. But also don't forget to check
out all the extras in the comfy interior that make this an
all-around awesome total build.
You're instantly attracted to this truck because it's a distinctive
custom from all angles. It starts with sublime green paint that
gives this truck its nickname. The color has a vibrancy that
attracts attention, and there's equality from the even gloss that
lets the sunlight roll smoothly over the beefy hood lines and the
curvaceous rear fenders. There are also plenty of custom
color-matched elements, like the roll bar, KC Day Lighters on top,
windshield sunshade, rear roll pan, and the bar across the grille
with Chevy bow tie. The headlights even have green halos. There's
also upgraded brightwork that adds to the truck's beefy attitude.
It includes the visible diff covers, large front bumper, and the
15-inch off-road wheels, including the one mounted Baja-style in
the bed. It truly is a full custom package, but they did remember
to give you a hint of classic style with the real wood on the bed
floor.
The interior continues this truck's custom green theme, but what
might impress you the most is the well-integrated custom comfort.
For example the seating is now an upgraded bucket setup with a cup
holder center console in-between. You can also fold it up to fit a
third person in a pinch. The gray upholstery coordinates with the
newer carpeting, door panels, and dash for a well-done look and
feel. This has switches for factory features like power windows,
but what you'll really love are the playful labels on the upgrades
for everything from the accent lights (Mother Ship) to the pump
in-between the dual fuel tanks (the NOS switch.) The stereo is an
AM/FM/CD player with aux input, Bluetooth, upgraded speakers, and a
flip-up backup camera. And the investment in custom pieces also
includes making this a better driver. That means a grippy Grant GT
sport steering wheel, and an awesome custom gauge package with
Sublime's color and the name in the tach.
There's more bold green in the engine bay, but really, your
attention is going to be on all the performance parts of the V8 in
the middle. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker crate engine built by
the masters at Skip White Performance. It's built with a hydraulic
roller cam, NKB aluminum heads, dual plane intake, and topped with
a Pro-Systems 750CFM four-barrel carburetor. And ceramic-coated
headers add power while contributing to the thunder of the rather
straight set of dual exhaust pipes with glasspack style mufflers.
The full package is said to be rated at over 500 horsepower. To
handle all this power is TCI Maximizer TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission with ProTorque 2800 stall converter. The NP203 4x4
transfer case was converted to part-time so you get more practical
control over your off-road work, and there's a nice set of BF
Goodrich All-Terrain T/As on the wheels. And because this is the
kind of custom truck that will do plenty of on-road work, too, it's
easy to drive with power steering, power brakes, and front
discs.
Complete with build receipts, this is a memorable custom truck that
has only 14.5k miles on the whole build (and about 8k on the
motor.) So don't let such a unique 4x4 that's also so affordable
slip away. Call today!!!
