Vehicle Description
This 1979 Silverado Show Truck has been in a personal collection
for many years. Recently was taken out of storage and gone through.
These trucks are hard to come by in this condition, yet alone the
custom ones from the era. Here's your chance to own a piece of the
80's crazy show truck history. The build was commissioned in the
beginning of '85 and finished just in time for the second annual
Fly-N-Hi and 4-Wheeler Dealers River Run, held Sept. 21-22 in
Phoenix. The truck had a full detailed article with pictures in the
'86 issue of Four Wheeler and other articles in the '85 issue of
4WD Action and Off Road America. Just to be featured in any
magazine is a huge honor and speaks highly of the trucks build
quality. This truck has 66,338 original miles and looks today as
good as when featured in the magazines. The engine is a Chevrolet
350 cubic inch, with Edelbrock intake manifold and Edelbrock 4
barrel carburetor. The transmission is a turbo 350 with shift kit.
Both the engine and transmission have been serviced. No leaks.
Custom headers with baffled side pipes, not too loud. New heavy
duty radiator, new fuel lines, fuel filters, vacuum lines. Engine
and transmission oil changed. The truck runs cool, barely gets to a
1/4 mark on the temp gauge. Excellent oil pressure. New battery
installed earlier this year. New air filter installed last week.
Custom length steel braided brake lines. 4x4 works as it should.
The suspension is awesome. It features a High Country lift with new
shocks, shackles and a dual stabilizer. It has been re geared, the
gears are 4.56 made by Richmond. The hubs are custom Lock Out
style. The suspension and all attaching hardware is like new
condition. Nice glossy black paint throughout the axles,
differential covers, drive shafts, etc... Like new Irok Super
swamper radials, 39.5x13.5x15 with like new alloys. The paint is
original on the truck. The 5 color graphics were painted on using
Emron based paint, durable and expensive
