Vehicle Description
While there is no clear-cut definition of what a muscle truck is,
we certainly know one when we see one. And while a pickup with a
small block V-8 and an aftermarket exhaust is fun, this 1988
Chevrolet C1500 Prostreet takes things up about ten levels. Fully
painted in black with custom pinstriping, its cowl hood, tubbed out
bed, SS454 badges, and monster Mickey Thompson tires all alert
anyone and everyone that this truck has about as muscle as an
Olympic bodybuilder with wheels.
Inside, we find a roll cage with fold-out side bars for ingress and
egress. Racing bucket seats, power windows, power locks, and even a
center console with a custom cup holder add just a touch of
civility to this nightmarish beast. A tilt column is capped off
with a billet and leather steering wheel. A dash-mounted Sunpro
tachometer complements a set of Equus under-dash gauges, while
racing harnesses prepare both driver and passenger for the blast
off that is just a pedal stomp away.
Under the hood lies a massive 454 cubic-inch big block V-8 which
has had its heads machined and honed, new rings and bearings added
to the short block, and an Edelbrock cam and fuel injection combine
to make roughly 500 horsepower. All of that power gets funneled
through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission featuring a
Monster 2,800 stall with shift kit. From there, a Ford 9 inch rear
end housing 4.11 gears sends all those galloping ponies to the
tarmac via the aforementioned Mickey Thompsons.

This 1988 Chevrolet C1500 Prostreet was a badass machine when it
was just a stock 454SS. But, this truck, with its coil spring front
and coilover four-link rear suspension long tube headers and dual
exhaust takes everything we love about muscle trucks and shows us
how much fun a truly powerful truck can be. Call today!
