1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 4x4 Long Bed Pickup
"The Silverado is just short of a quantum leap in pickups. Not
because of any major innovation, but because of a very long list of
minor ones. Such as making 16-inch tires and wheels standard, even
on the base model. Also standard are: huge four wheel disc brakes
with ABS; battery rundown protection; coolant loss protection,
"Dynamic Rear Proportioning," which is a computer chip that senses
minute changes in wheel speed under braking and adjusts the
proportion of rear brake engaged accordingly. Also standard are
hydroformed front frame rails, just like the Corvette has." Car and
Driver, Aug 1998
For consignment, a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 4x4 long bed
pickup with a title verified 78,440 actual miles. Here's a garage
kept example presenting in excellent condition. As modern pickups
become bigger, more complicated, and less reliable, Classic Auto
Mall is happy to represent fine examples from a more analog
era.
Exterior
This example comes to us with a two tone configuration placing
Medium Carmine over Gold on a long bed profile augmented by the
large 4x4 decals on the rear panel and reflective side steps. We
have reflection on the ends too with chrome bumpers including the
rear step up, a chrome mid band through the eggcrate grille, and a
chrome exhaust tip. 18-inch wheels carry 265/65R18 all terrain
tires with an early 2023 date code. A bug guard keeps flying
insects off of your windshield up front and a black vinyl tonneau
covers the bed tightly and can be viewed through the rear window
with a slider. Overall body and paint are excellent with a few
imperfections noted as various chips and scratches, most of which
are touched up.
Interior
Let's start with the bed which is not only protected by the
tonneau, but is further covered by a rugged plastic liner and
presents cleanly. Inside, the Medium Oak palette both contrasts and
matches the exterior colors and handsome door panels are robust
formed plastic with cloth inserts and carpeted lowers and the only
flaw is some plastic discoloration on the passenger side. Cloth
buckets seats have integrated seatbelts and other than usual
compression, remain in fantastic shape. A four spoke steering wheel
fronts a simple standard instrument cluster while push button range
selector is positioned to the left and AM/FM/CD and A/C panels to
the right. Light brown plastic covers the rest of the dash which
provides a grab handle for the passenger. The open floor has
spotless tan carpet and a formed headliner and overhead console
also present nicely.
Drivetrain
The engine bay is clean too and is home to the 5.3 liter LM7 V8,
rated at 270 horsepower, fuel injected, and tied to GM's ubiquitous
4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to 10 bolt rear
and front differential, both with 3.73 gears.
Undercarriage
Patina is minimal on this clean underside where the single exhaust
flows through a FlowMaster muffler. Power brakes are split with
power disc in front and power drums out back. Suspension is
accomplished with torsion bars ahead and leaf springs in the
rear.
Drive-Ability
Relatively fresh tires and an all around clean truck meets our
expectations for a fine functioning vehicle, getting through the
test loop with flying colors and a comfortable cabin. Other than
the air conditioning, all functions work on this well preserved
Chevrolet. 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.
Of course, there is a tow hitch receiver on the back of the truck,
so if you need to two a show car, boat, or race car, this well
preserved Silverado may be up to the task. But it's also clean
enough and comfortable enough to use as your daily commuter. This
is one clean and capable crimson ride. Tonight we're gonna party
like it's 1999!
