1987 Chevrolet Silverado

Description

Is it difficult to appear tough, stylish, custom-built, quick, and vintage all in one pickup? The answer would usually be yes, but this 1987 Chevrolet Silverado does all that with ease.

We sell plenty of tough Silverados at Streetside (and you can still find a few right now,) but this one goes in a bit of a different direction. The moment you lay eyes on the super-slick bright red paint applied to the crisp sheetmetal, you know this one was built to really show off. The power bulge cowl hood, billet grille, mirror-like front bumper, and custom rolled rear pan are all part of this showman's package. And everyone loves the sight of those 20-inch Riddler wheels on a lowered suspension. But this very custom truck has a secret. It might look show ready for Sunday, but the spray in liner paint in the bed means you can still use the practical side of this pickup for hardware store runs on Saturday.

The red of the exterior is joined with black to make a custom two-tone interior. The bench seat with bow tie stitching offers individual insets for long haul comfort. The color scheme continues on the door panels, headliner, carpeting, and dash for a uniform appearance that looks like a huge investment all on its own. All the right factory elements are in place such as the steering wheel, heat/defrost, and AM/FM stereo. But as you look at the white-faced speedometer and spot the trio of auxiliary gauges, you get the feeling there's something more going on under the hood.

Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch small-block V8 is ready to impress with the shiny air cleaner, Chevrolet performance valve covers, and red wiring all radiating from the black engine bay. But more than just for show, this motor has been upgraded for performance, too. It includes Holley four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and headers that feed the Flowmaster dual exhaust – giving a mean rumble for the V8's finishing touch. Handling this enhanced power is no problem for GM's stout TH400 three-speed transmission, but there's more to this pickup's story. The automatic transmission is not only good for reliability, but it's also a great addition to features like power steering and front disc brakes to offer everyday drive-ability.
