Most of these trucks ended up working for a living, but judging from the looks of this one, any trace of a possible tradesman’s past has been erased. It’s a very clean and solid truck, with a lot of nice upgrades that make it ideal for local shows and cruise nights…and maybe even a few off-road adventures. The paint is there to grab attention, so it’s nice to see it so well-applied over some pretty straight bodywork. Hugger Orange was the way Chevy muscle cars intimidated others off the streets, and this one is worthy of that heritage, but more on that in a moment. All of the original stainless trim is in place and looks great, from the wide grille, all the way to the back bumper. The only addition seems to be the bright steps on both sides to help you and your passengers cope with the monster truck ride height. This is a long bed pickup, so it still has the ability to go to work. That’s why there’s flat black paint in the bed, and a grippy rubber coating to the top of the back bumper. These Chevy trucks had an interesting interior, where the controls surrounded the driver like a sports car. This customized 4×4 continues with this tradition by keeping the full gauge package, and adding some nice upgrades. The condition of the bench seat suggests a quality restoration, and just behind it are dual sealed subwoofers connected to a modern AM/FM/CD stereo. While this is to make the driving experience even that more fun in this aggressive-looking truck, the most intimating sound will always be coming out of your dual exhaust. One look at the engine bay, and you’ll know why this pickup is worth every penny, and more. It’s a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor with BluePrint aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, MSD ignition, and headers. So while this Chevy has an amazing bark, it has the bite to back it up too. Even more important is the torque produced by this performance V8. Add in the lift kit, upgraded shocks, and deep-ridged Pro Comp Xtreme tires on Ion Alloy wheels, and you have the perfect recipe to never need pavement again if you choose. But on a more practical side, this one is not hard to take on the highways either, with features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
