1990s advertising campaign for Chevy Trucks. A 1991 magazine ad
(citing the C1500 Chevy pickup as a Consumer Digest Best Buy) in
that legendary advertising campaign was headlined: You don't get to
be America's favorite half-ton pickup on looks alone. The copy went
on to cite the 1991 truck's bigger cab with better visibility,
increased standard horsepower, higher payload, heavier frame, and
the highest 2WD full-size pickup gas mileage. There was a lot to
like about the '91 Chevy pickups beyond looks alone. But these
pickups were definitely at the top of the list on looks, and with
modifications, could become real road beasts. Offered here is an
excellent example of how an already good-looking '91 C1500
short-bed pickup can be aesthetically enhanced and built-up to
astonishing levels of performance. While maintaining the attractive
looks the truck is known for, a 376-cubic-inch, twin-turbocharged
V8 delivers an eye-popping 728 horsepower. If this C1500 is ever
used for hauling, whatever cargo it carries will reach its
destination in record time. Having traveled just 1,533 miles since
its re-powering-this is a true low-mileage, blistering
street-performance package. Outside, the red paint was an
especially good choice for the smooth-sided design, which has only
been enhanced with red grille, red bumpers, red lower-front
spoiler, red mirror caps, and smooth red tailgate. The body is free
of chrome trim for a purity-of-design visual statement; the only
chrome appears on the custom wheels. Side-exit exhaust ports offer
one indication that this is no stock pickup. The Hoosier slicks on
the rear and the rollbar drive home that point. Across the entire
truck (including on the added cargo-bed-mounted roll-cage
supports), the paint is fresh, uniformly glossy and free of damage.
Serious performance and trick-free good looks are the hallmark of
this build. Inside, the initial impression is stock, with
performance enhancements that aren't of the superficial, look-at-me
variety. Gray fabric tweed upholstery is stock. The condition of
the fabric is excellent with some signs of wear on the driver-side
door trim. The interior full roll cage, including the
passenger-side, chassis-stiffening support bar, is painted in gray
to blend in (as much as that's possible). Five-point shoulder
safety belts blend in a bit less. The stock-appearing dashboard
includes a host of digital, engine-monitoring instruments, and the
drag-racing, floor mounted shifter ends any doubt as to the truck's
capabilities and intent. The black, factory Chevrolet-branded
steering wheel remains with an upgraded Alpine® audio head unit in
the factory-radio location. Cabin carpeting is charcoal protected
with rubber mats. Opening the hood produces gasps from onlookers.
The entire engine bay is devoted to power... and more power. Twin
Garrett® turbochargers with their associated air-induction systems,
inter coolers, and plumbing flank t
