The chance to own a bona fide Monster Truck doesn't come around all
that often. We're not merely talking about a pickup with an
elevated stance and an aggressive paint job, but one that has
literally been reimagined for the rigors of surmounting any
obstacles in its way while sending out a pulse-pounding exhaust
note that absolutely demands attention from onlookers. This 1988
Chevrolet C1500 4x4 Custom Monster Truck is the real deal. It was
taken down to its foundation and then rebuilt from scratch with
automotive domination in mind. A veritable gladiator on wheels,
it's dressed in Jalapeno Green paint that happens to be in really
nice shape, especially considering this truck's rugged vocation.
From front to back, top to bottom, it shows all the hallmarks of
skillful, purpose-built modification.
The fully customized interior leaves no question as to this C1500's
intended use. Its floor has been raised to accommodate the
heavy-duty foundation it rides on, and a pair of PRP racing bucket
seats with Simpson harnesses sit front and center to offer plenty
of support for its adventures. A full eight-point cage surrounds
the interior and is properly welded into the chassis to provide
maximum protection in the event of a rollover. The dash has been
redesigned as well and features a full complement of AutoMeter
gauges to monitor the vitals as this truck performs its magic.
Peer through one of the super-sized fender wells and you'll catch a
glimpse of the 406-cubic-inch V8 that propels this monster truck.
Professionally built and fortified with a performance cam, the
engine is fed via Holley electronic fuel-injection and fires up
eagerly, ready for action. It pairs with a 3-speed automatic TH400
transmission with manual valve body and exhales into a dual exhaust
that terminates in Flowmaster FlowFX mufflers, rendering a deep,
almost hypnotic note at idle that transforms into a full-on battle
cry under hard acceleration. An HD transmission cooler keeps
operating temperatures down, while an SCS Quick-Change transfer
case makes the transition to four-wheel drive agility nice and
easy. Every aspect of this Chevy's foundation has been reinforced
to prepare it for what lies ahead, while power steering and
four-wheel power disc brakes make it surprisingly easy to navigate
and bring to a stop.
