1984 Chevrolet Silverado

Description

This 1984 Chevrolet Silverado pickup represents a pretty unbeatable recipe. Start with a revered mid-'80s Chevrolet pickup that's known for its ruggedness and dependability, apply a seriously cool custom paint job and then top it off by adding some really great entertainment features to create a grin-inducing ride that will draw attention whether parked or cruising the streets.

Custom paint jobs are certainly nothing new, but you definitely don't see many like this one. Transitioning from black on the bottom to a Candy Root Beer on top, there's a lot of detail and nuance here that really take it to another level. Look closely in the light at the upper sections and you'll actually see an almost three-dimensional effect that makes the paint seem to extend way beyond the depth of the sheet metal. The pinstriping in front is a bit subtler than you sometimes encounter - a wise detailing choice as there's plenty to see already. Up front, the blackout effect on the headlight bezels contrasts really well with the chrome around it, and toward the back you'll see a truly inspired add-on - that distinctive "Chevrolet" lettering airbrushed onto the lighter stripes on the rear flanks is actually a homage to Chevy's badging of the mid-'50s that you might see on a Bel Air or 210. Everything appears well-fitted, too - both the front and rear bumpers are laser straight and the gaps between body panels are nice and even.

The brown and tan leather interior you'll find inside is really impressive - a great combination of style, comfort and functionality. The split bench seat is plenty comfortable, matched by a fold down armrest/storage area and a console/cupholder under the dash with the same two-tone pattern. It's also a very well-appointed cabin, with all the conveniences you'd want, including air conditioning, a tilt column, cruise control, and power locks and windows. This Silverado is also a veritable rolling entertainment machine. There's a high-end Alpine Media Center mounted below the dash, with a drop- down DVD player in the headliner console and, with Polk Audio speakers mounted in the doors and under-dash panels, everything from music to movies is sounding great. We really like this pickup for its attention to the driver's enjoyment as well. Climb into the driver's seat and you'll see a Grant GT wheel that perfectly matches its surroundings, while just beyond, a full complement of Auto Meter gauges resides in a chrome backdrop on the dash. In back, the bed features a sturdy, off-black liner to protect against cargo dings and scratches and it's clearly been doing its job.

Underneath the hood, with its trance-inducing paint, sits a 305 V8 that's been freshly tuned and is running great. It's paired with a recently rebuilt 200r4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, so you'll keep your revs nice and low when you're on the highway and, since the front suspension has recently been rebuilt, it'll be smooth sailing, as well. The anti-theft system is definitely a welcome feature, especially considering how coveted a vehicle like this truly is. With power brakes - discs in front, as well as power steering, this is a truck not only meant to be looked at, but to be driven. This unique and well-configured pickup sits with a low, decidedly custom-looking stance on a set of 15" stock Chevy truck rims, wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion ATR radials.
