Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present
this sweet little sleeper 1987 Chevrolet C10/R1500. 1987 was the
first year that they started with the "R" , powering this wild
truck is built General Motors 4-Bolt main 454CID Big Block V8! If
that doesn't seem like that much engine to you just wait, there's
more. Topping this Big Block is a Weiland 117 Blower with a Holley
850 Double pumper resting on top of that, what a beast! All of this
power plant is tossing that power to the ground via a TCI Turbo400
3-speed automatic transmission, yes its built to handle this power
and pass that along to a "Strange engineering" built 9' rear end.
Posi traction is a must on a truck like this to keep it sticking so
that was added to it. The interior of this wild machine has had
some goodies added. Try a full auto-meter gauge cluster with added
tach and a ratchet shifter so you can bang through the gears if
wanted to, also a very comfortable Red/Black bench seat. You will
want to bang gears in this truck making anyone that can see you
snap their neck to see what is making that sweet V8 sound. The
exterior of this truck is a driver quality paint that has been
cleared over so the areas that has paint missing is still cleared
and that is the theme that he went with. This truck has had a few
different lives in its past, born as a 6cylinder/manual truck it
was used to pull a little horse trailer 5th wheel. Yes, I said 5th
wheel on a 6cylinder truck! Then it was turned into a race truck
having a turboed LS under the hood and passenger fender exhaust
hole added with a fuel cell. That brings us to current time,
factory fuel tank added back and the massive, big block was
installed, rear end redone, rear disc brakes added. Shifter
assembly added along with gauge cluster. This truck is a beast!
