Vehicle Description
1995 Chevrolet C3500 Pickup
Celebrating 100 years of Chevy truck history in 2018, the American
auto manufacturer has produced over 85 million trucks in the past
century. With two brand-new Centennial special edition trucks
released to mark the occasion, let's take a look at some old Chevy
pickup trucks to see how they have progressed over the years.
Co-founded by race car driver Louis Chevrolet and GM founder
William C. Durant in 1911, Chevrolet had its fair share of rocky
beginnings. While Louis Chevrolet left the company in 1913,
Chevrolet became part of General Motors in 1918, the same year
Chevy's first truck was released.
For consignment, a 4th generation Chevy and is in Fleetside form
with a long long bed, dual rear wheels and some snappy pastel side
graphics with a mere 78,421 miles on the clock. The 4 door cab
offers up an additional bench seat in back with comfy positions for
3 adults. Dual rear tires and a gooseneck hitch in the bed, as well
as a hidden hitch behind the rear tag give you the ability to haul
just about anything your heart desires. A former tow rig for a show
car with extensive suspension work performed including air bags and
some neat chrome wheels give you the opportunity to not only haul
your show car, but also enter your rig and take home 2
trophies.
Exterior
Bathed in sinister black, all steel panels are looking fine with no
signs of rust, invasive or of the surface variety. Upfront halogen
headlights with a custom chromed bumper and integral fog light
option below are on as is a standard black painted grille with
chrome highlights. The crew cab option has 2 additional doors for
the back seat passengers to have a seat with a view. Way back is a
long bed covered with a black fiberglass flares for the dual rear
wheels. Lining the bed is a plastic drop in liner and within this
bed is the gooseneck hitch mechanism along with a polished
stainless tool box. Lightly smoked glass surrounds the cabin and
leading the way on the long ribbed roof are clearance lights, just
like the big rigs have. A smooth black tailgate hovers above a
custom rear roll pan with Corvette style tail lights below.
Multi-colored pastel splash style striping starts at the front of
the doors and runs rearward, slowly shrinking to thin stripes as it
wraps around the back of the truck. To aid with a big pull, a
hidden hitch is behind the rear license plate. Pitted and tarnished
chrome star style wheels in 16-inch format are wrapped by good deep
tread rubber. God bless "Merica!"
Interior
We can climb aboard and land our butts into a nice speckled gray
velour broadcloth that is bucket configuration with the drivers
position being power actuated. These seats have fold down armrests
and inbetween is an oversized storage console. Climbing in the back
reveals a sprawling bench seat in more velour broadcloth that
provides ample room for 3 adults. A standard and original black
dash front has all analog gauges, A/C and heat controls and a
digital factory radio/cassette player. The remainder of the dash is
in molded gray plastic and vinyl and is crack and fade free. We
note the gauge and controls for the air suspension system residing
within the ashtray, almost as if it was done by the factory. A
fuzzy padded headliner is above and looking good, and the floors
are covered in gray carpet that remains clean and tear free.
Drivetrain
Within the unrestored engine bay is an original 454ci V8. This
engine is fuel injected and has a 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission on the back. The 4 rear wheels are driven by a heavy
duty Dana 60 rear axle. Some light rust and corrosion are noted
throughout this engine and bay, but give the bay character and
charm.
Undercarriage
Being so long gives us a limited view of the undercarriage as the
truck simply won't fit on our lift. We note some surface on the
usual suspects, but no invasive rust is to be seen. An independent
suspension with airbags is on front and leaf springs and airbags
are on back. Our consignor notes that a 6" drop in the front and a
9" drop in the rear was performed to the suspension and the rear
frame section was reworked to allow the in the weeds stance. Power
disc brakes are reserved for the front, and power drums for the
rear and a stock style single exhaust system is on for the
exhale.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and good driver and runner. Has plenty of power
and comfy interior. The air ride was fully operational and it's
nice as it allows the truck to be not too high to get in and out.
Fully functional and ready to show or tow.
A good example of a 1995 Fleetside 3500 C version of a crew cab,
air suspension, dually pickup. Lots of small custom touches add up
to one real piece of eye candy. Go anywhere, pull anything, and
plenty of room for all the gear while doing so, and when you get to
the show you can enter your show car and your tow rig and pull a
clean trophy sweep.
