Vehicle Description
From the iconic GMT400 body style's debut year comes this 1988
Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Stepside in Dark Maple Red with just
81,883 actual miles on the odometer. V8 stick-shift configurations
remain a sought-after rarity in these trucks. The muscular fenders
of the Stepside bed give this pickup unmistakable flair that ages
like fine wine. Five-star 15" Boyd's wheels fill the fenders
nicely, wrapped in 235/70R15 tires showing plenty of tread life. A
folding vinyl board bed cover adds versatility without compromising
the clean lines and classic good looks that make these Chevy trucks
so appealing to truck fans across America.
Maroon cloth covers the interior with remarkable preservation
quality after thirty-plus years on the road. The bench seat retains
excellent shape and support, making long drives comfortable. Most
impressive is the dashboard, which avoided the common cracking
issues that plague these models. Original gauges work properly,
displaying crucial information at a glance. The floor-mounted
shifter gives a sporty feel to the driving position. Sound comes
through the factory AM/FM cassette player, while power steering
allows easy maneuverability whether in tight parking spots or open
highways.
Power comes from the 305 V8 working in concert with the 5-speed
manual transmission - a combination Chevrolet didn't produce in
high numbers. Electronic fuel injection allows for quick starts
regardless of weather conditions. A dual-to-single exhaust system
produces just the right tone without being overly aggressive. Front
power disc brakes stop this truck effectively. The suspension
combines coil springs up front with traditional leaf springs in
back, handling both cruising and hauling with equal competence. The
10-bolt rear axle provides durability for years of dependable
service.
