Vehicle Description
This 1988 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado is a classic pickup that shows
a well-respected style and some nice subtle upgrades. It's all
about discovering a classic pickup that's also all-around useful
with its fuel-injected V8, overdrive transmission, and comfy
interior.
We really are fully appreciating the style and substance of this
generation C/K pickup. The design was far more rounded than the
square bodies it replaces, but they still looked just as rugged. In
fact, this example has clean panels and what's believed to be the
original Torch Red paint. It's not a perfect presentation, but as
you can see from the pics, it certainly will earn instant respect
from the truck crowd. There are a few updates you'll spot on this
Chevy. Some make it look sporty with the 454 SS-style polished
wheels Others make it more useful, like the side window deflectors,
full bed liner, and diamond plate locking toolbox. It makes for a
nicer truck without taking away from the classic feel.
We like the look of the deep red interior against the bright red
exterior. It makes for a true red-blooded American pickup. And the
presentation inside is highly stock and as well respected as the
exterior. So the comfy upholstery, soft carpeting, and smooth dash
make this inviting. You also have the best features like power
windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, the factory
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for air conditioning (it will
need servicing to blow cold again.) Any upgrades are subtle, like a
slight tint to the windows or a cup holder console resting on the
floor. It's all just about keeping this classic a useful and
comfortable cruiser.
Under the hood is a remarkably tidy 5.7-liter V8. There are newer
fundamentals like the hoses, belts, and battery, and it all has an
exceptional level of stock style, right down to the decals. But
what you'll love best is how this fuel-injected motor fires up with
such eagerness. And the way it feels solid out on the road lets you
know this is one for driving. That's why you also have convenient
features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, cruise
control, and a four-speed automatic transmission with
highway-friendly overdrive.
Complete with owner's manual, this is vintage, useful, respected,
loaded, and powerful. It's the single cab, short bed Silverado you
hoped was out there. So grab it first, call today!
