For Sale: 1992 Chevrolet C/K 1500 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1992 Chevrolet C1500 Long Bed Pickup

"One of the most glaring aspects of the classic pickup's longevity is its simplicity. Until about 20 years ago, pickup trucks were still seen as work vehicles first, and the thought of something like a new F-150 Platinum Plus with ventilated, massage seats and a giant touchscreen infotainment system didn't even cross anyone's mind yet. Because pickups were still embroiled in work, they needed to be simple and easy to repair for the owner. This simplicity translated into longevity, as an easy to maintain vehicle offers more incentive for the owner to actually take care of it." Carbuzz.com

For consignment, a 1992 Chevrolet C1500 long bed pickup showing 188,595 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This truck has some tasteful light mods and relatively new paint, presenting cleanly inside and out.

Exterior
Two stage Bahama Blue Metallic, no doubt named for the color of the ocean, coats this truck with a splendid shine that now accentuates the smooth panels and subtle body lines, but contrasts perfectly with the chrome grille, black side mirrors, door handles, and smooth, red tail lights where a roll pan replaces a rear bumper. The 15-inch wheels were sandblasted and powder coated when the truck was painted and the black, slotted wheels carry 255/70R15 tires with an early 2024 date code, so you're going to be good for a while. A solid rear window overlooks a smooth soft tonneau that covers the bed protected by a Bodygard plastic liner. Overall, the paint and trim are nice with some imperfections noted as some uneven filler near a door bottom corner, rocker panel, and other spots.

Interior
Blue velour and carpet covers the door panels which include window cranks and a storage bin. The same material cleanly covers the bench seat, with built in armrest and adjustable head restraints. Chevy's standard truck steering wheel presents to the driver and shares the column with the shifter, while leading to a simple gauge cluster behind plexiglass while additional gauges have been added under the dash along with an updated Kenwood AM/FM/CD player replacing the Delco unit. An electric fuel pump shut off switch has also been included in the cab. Blue carpet covers the floor and presents in nice condition, and the headliner and visors also remain in good shape.

Drivetrain
Powering this blue beauty is a 5.7 liter V8 with throttle body injection mated to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. This power is routed through a new TrueTrac 3.73 gear posi unit inside the 10 bolt axle. Long tube headers are on board to start the exhaust process, and a K&N intake tube and filter are in place as well.

Undercarriage
Patina and surface rust abound on this otherwise clean and dry underside. The 2.5" dual exhaust system enters a Cherrybomb muffler, then splits wide to exit through two chrome tips behind each rear wheel. Power brakes are standard configuration here, front disc and rear drum and suspension is as the factory built with coil springs up front and leaf springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
Amazing how a freer breathing exhaust system can make an auditory difference that turns this rather pedestrian trimmed long bed into a fire breathing muscle truck. It probably adds a few horsepower too on top of the adrenaline rush the sound elicits. The truck runs and drives without surprises, tracking straight, absorbing road imperfections, and stopping on demand. We note the speedometer, odometer, trip odometer and A/C are not working. All other functions operate as intended. 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.

Time marches on and what once was a common work truck in the early 90's, is now a highly sought after analog classic that more often appears at car shows rather than county fairs. This is a nice, clean, straight, and well sorted truck with lots of eye appeal and plenty of ear appeal too!
