Vehicle Description
1994 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 Long Bed Pickup
"For decades, Chevrolet trucks were just called "Chevrolet Trucks,"
with only number designations to differentiate between light,
medium, and heavy duty models. The name "Silverado" first came to
Chevy trucks in 1975 as the top shelf, highest optioned trim of
third generation Chevrolet C/K "square body" trucks, part of a turn
that saw Chevrolet name several of their vehicle trims after
legendary Old West locales. The name, taken from a silver mining
town established in California's rugged Santa Ana Mountains in
1878, turned out to be so popular with Chevrolet truck owners that
it was later adopted as the model name for all Chevrolet trucks
beginning with the 1989 model year." Thx to

For consignment, a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 long bed
pickup truck with a title verified 21,098 actual miles. This is a
one owner truck and a 31 year old time capsule that will come with
the original window sticker and a new in box soft tonneau cover. If
you're in the market for a pick up truck and long for 90's vintage,
here's one that is not exactly new old stock, but darn close!
Exterior
If you love earth tones, you're going to love the Dark Autumnwood
Metallic coverage on this long bed wonderfully applied by workers
at the Pontiac, Michigan assembly plant in two stages, base and
clear. This post squarebody era beauty is still full of right
angles and a grille that bows out ever so slightly, taking in
composite headlights over the twin shaped marker lights stacked
below. Tow hooks mean business and a chin spoiler gives a nice
finishing touch rather than an aerodynamic advantage. The slab
sided truck wears flush door handles and rocker trim the rides over
the wheel openings breaking up the brown just enough to create
visual interest. 16-inch wheels are wrapped in 75 series tires, all
helping increase ground clearance, and a clean, hinged hard tonneau
sits behind the rear sliding window, covering a clean bed with
plastic liner in place. Two areas of small scratches are the only
imperfections we note on the exterior.
Interior
Tan and beige velour door panels surround a switch panel and door
opener, while a carpeted storage bin occupies a good bit of the
lower door, and are in mint condition. The same goes for the cloth
bucket seats where tan and beige once again work together to create
a handsome interior, and a plastic center console has storage and
cupholders. The common four spoke Chevrolet steering wheel is clean
and leads to our fantastic analogue instrument cluster with orange
needled dials for everything. To the right is the climate control
panel and radio integrated into the brown backing and with digital
readout screens, green illuminated digits and all! A period
cassette player and CD player are also on board, so you have your
choice of vintage music platforms. The Chevrolet is column shifted
but the range selector is on the floor which is covered in tan
carpet in pristine condition which is how we find the felt
headliner as well.
Drivetrain
As if we've transported to 1994, the spotless engine bay holds the
350ci V8, fuel injected and rated at 200 horsepower, mated to a
700R4 4-speed automatic that initially sends power both the front
and rear axles fitted with 3.73 gears. Power brakes are here too,
with front discs and rear drums.
Undercarriage
It's dirt and oil free underneath but there is a decent amount of
surface rust on untreated metals which as we know, will grow on a
parked, garaged vehicle here on the East coast. It's prevalent here
but the underside is free of invasive rust of any kind. The exhaust
goes from single pipe to a 1 to 2 FlowMaster muffler, then runs
tandem to the back, splitting at the spare tire, and exiting as
dual pipe split wide. Coil springs suspension is up front and leaf
springs in the back.
Drive-Ability
We step up to this brown beauty and turn the key to send fuel to
the throttle body injection and into the 8 cans, and the result is
a nice exhaust tone. Into Drive we go and roll this 4x4 onto our
relatively flat and dry test loop where we won't need the extra
axle engaged, and the truck moves out well, delivering good power
and straight tracking and big windows afford great visibility. As
such a "young" truck, all functional items work as they should.
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.
Talk about a well preserved, low mileage, one owner Silverado! Wow,
this is just about showroom fresh and leaves the new owner with
some options. Use it as it was originally intended and get some
dirt on it or save it for car and truck shows where this level of
originality will definitely get some attention. These were used and
put away wet, but this one never clocked in to work and has been on
vacation for nearly 31 years. Just waiting for a Prince Charming to
wake it from its slumber and bring it to the ball. Ready to
dance?
