Vehicle Description
1994 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Shortbed Pickup
The development of the fourth generation C/K began in the early
1980s, with design operations headed by General Motors Truck and
Bus Group. In comparison to its predecessor, computers took on a
greater role in the development of the fourth generation C/K, with
GM using computer data to develop both components and tooling for
the vehicle. The second vehicle to adapt the GMT platform
nomenclature, GM assigned the model line the GMT400 internal
codename, replacing the tradition of monikers for its full size
trucks, (i.e., Rounded Line, Action Line, Task Force, Advance
Design). During the development of the GMT400 platform GM designers
based their prototypes on the compact GMT325 S-series, (S10 and
S15/Sonoma).
For consignment a 4th Gen C pickup that has some flossy flossy
upgrades added on like snappy Butternut Yellow paint and black
racing stripes. Adding to the mix are Billet Specialties wheels, a
never used nitrous oxide system, a monster aluminum headed 468cibig
block V8 engine, Hurst shifter, narrowed 10 bolt rear axle, and a
steel cowled hood. We would never leave out the updated
instrumentcluster and retro-kewl low back bucket seats to keep your
butt comfy while you're hauling the mail and some ass!
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by
the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws
to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public
highways in your area.*
Exterior
As a truck, the C/K was styled with straight lines to maximize
space and function, but was designed to optimize its aerodynamics,
improving fuel economy. Along with a flush, curved grille and front
bumper, it adopted many upgrades over the Rounded-Line generation,
including sedan style doors and flush window glass. Nearly 20 years
after removing them from its car lines, GM removed vent windows
from the C/K trucks, (the first full size trucks to delete them).
This one has lightly tinted windows replacing that original glass,
all surrounded by black trimmings. The horizontal rectangular dual
front headlights which flank a shiny billet style ribbed grille and
body matching bumper below lead the way. As we go back, a steel
cowl induction hood is now replacing the original and has been
dressed with miles deep painted black stripes. Car like doors with
inset handles are all bathed like the rest of this beautiful truck
in Butternut Yellow, taking a page from the late 1960's Chevrolet
playbook. Black accenting shows again finishing off the rally
stripes on the tailgate and just below is a smoothed over roll pan
where the stripes dip under the body. Car-like black painted
mirrors hang from either door and a tinted rear glass looks out to
the bed from the cab. Behind the cab is the nicelyfinished bed in,
you guessed it, more Butternut and holding a 15 gallon fuel cell,
nitrous oxide bottle and a relocatedbattery. Staggered 15-inch
Billet Specialties wheels, have new tires in the front in the form
of 205/70R15's in front and super wide and sticky 33x21.50-15's on
back. All laser straight gaps well minded throughout and no rust
due seen within miles of this hairy hauler.
Interior
You could say "Im back in the saddle again" and it would be true in
some scenarios, but not due to the color of the black and pale
yellow colored interior, and all looking just near perfection. Door
panels with the molded nooks and crannies and supple armrests and a
padded upper in a fine mix of black and pale yellow vinyl greet us
as we open the door and lead the way to the updated seating. The
bench is long gone and has been replaced with low back bucket seats
withsmooth black leather bolsters and slightly wide pale yellow
tuck and rollcenters for the seats and back. On the hump, directly
in reach of the driver is a Hurst shifter for rapid gear changes.
The original rectangular black faced white lettered gauge cluster
has also been updated with a blue LCD digital dashes in front of
the driver and it has a black topper and lowers. An aftermarket
kick ass AM/FM/CD stereo is now in so you can overcome the sound of
the engine if you desire or just listen to its melodious tones.
Hung from the dash to driver's right is a bevy of switches
replacing the former heater/AC controller. Black carpeting covers
the floors and is very clean, and above is a black tweed headliner
with matching bowtie embroidered visors.
Drivetrain
Under the cowled bumped up hood now sits a 468ciengine replacing
the original factory mill. On top is a Holley double pumper
4-barrel carb underneath a chromed open element round air cleaner
covering. From there the fossil and air mix enters an Edelbrock
intake manifold and down into the cylinders via a pair of aluminum
heads. On the back is now a TH350 3-speed automatic tranny. JBA
headers help with the big exhale, and on the back is a narrowed to
accommodate the big tires 10 bolt Positraction equipped rear axle.
Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! (And it does!)
Undercarriage
A very light peppering of surface rust, but all unremarkable.
Otherwise straight stamped steel floor pans, black sprayed
framework and some suspension parts which include front independent
coil springs and on back is a ladder bar with coil over arrangement
toadd to the mystique. Power disc braking is on front, and power
drums on back. A Flowmaster exhaust takes it from the headers and
blows itout the back. We note the lack of a catalytic converter in
the exhaust system.
Drive-Ability
Slipping inside this pristine truck gave me a thrill just to start
it. It sounds great and runs to match. Neck snapping acceleration
for a truck, great bias free pounce stopping, and fine handling.
I'm thinking.. " A colt 45 and 2 Zig Zags, Skatin' on US Mags" and
that's the flossy part!". I leaned to my right just a bit and sat
way down for the low and slow part of my drive. All functions
worked as they should and I went to lunch with a larger than life
smile on my face. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Spending its life in the care of owners who were diligent with
keeping this hauler rust free and being modded helps with the
condition of this truck in spades. A nice looker, big wheels and
fat and skinny tires, tinted glass and the big block V8 setup,
there are not too many initiators in this truck genre you'll come
across. Snap it up! All the while still retaining its factory good
looks. G L A M O R O U S glamorous!! Flyin' first class. If you
ain't got no money take your broke ass home!!
