Vehicle Description
Chevy has been making pickup trucks since the '30s and when you
make a gazillion of them, well that's no small amount of practice.
Made to withstand all the punishment that a commercial vehicle
needs to tolerate, this 1995 Chevrolet Silverado pickup appears to
have led a very pampered existence. There may not be a nicer one,
leading us to wonder if it's time for the Silverado to become a
genuine collector vehicle. With a great looks, V8 power, and
remarkable originality, this great-looking survivor deserves your
full attention.
White will always be in style, especially in a pickup truck, and we
have to admit that it works especially well on the Chevy C/K series
of trucks. Combined with the regular cab and stepside bed, the
Silverado has a sporty demeanor and a great look. It remains in
outstanding condition for being more than 20 years old, and the
shiny paint has weathered the years far better than most GM
products of the era, needing nothing more than a buff to really
look great. There are no notable blemishes, no major road rash,
just a few signs of use here and there (particularly in the bed,
where it's obviously been used), and it's clear that someone really
cared for this truck. There was not much chrome fitted to these
workhorses but what is there remains in pretty good condition. And
if you're actually going to put it to work, you'll be happy to find
a set of chrome bed rails to secure the load.
Slip inside and have a seat. A comfortable cloth bench seat makes
this a first-class way to haul your gear and the blue cloth
upholstery looks immaculately maintained. Because this is a
Silverado it is optioned with several creature comforts, including
air conditioning which still blows ice cold, plus an aftermarket
AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, power windows, power locks, and a
tilt wheel are all at your fingertips, further blurring the line
between blue and white collar transportation. And we haven't
forgotten that this is a truck with a half- ton load capacity and
so power steering and power brakes make it all manageable. The dash
pad only has one small crack and the sliding rear window provides a
comfortable breeze for those days when A/C isn't needed. Given the
condition of the interior, there's just no question the mileage
shown is original.
Open the hood and inspect the nicely detailed engine bay. This
Silverado is equipped with the 350 cubic inch V8 that has been
fitted to everything from Camaros to, well, pickup trucks. There's
more than enough power available if you choose to leave the motor
bone stock like this one, which looks like it just rolled out of
the showroom and still holds more than 40 PSI of oil pressure. The
4-speed automatic transmission is also performing without complaint
and there isn't a better transmission available to mate to the 350;
after all, nobody really wants a manual transmission in their
truck, do they? Have a look at the super clean undercarriage, where
you'll find no secrets, thanks to a lifetime in a warm climate, and
again, it suggests that this truck has led a very good life.
Aluminum wheels add some flash to the white pickup, endowing it
with a sporty demeanor, and it carries recent Goodyear Wrangler
radials all around.
This is a great-looking truck today, and if these become
collectable in the future, we're pretty sure these stepside bed
trucks will be first on the list. Call today!
