1994 Chevrolet Silverado Pickup

The origin of the word Silverado is confusing and varied with each page you do research from. It has several meanings, however for this description we will just say it is a truck made by Chevrolet and is wildly popular.

For consignment, a 1994 version of the Silverado in 1500 trim with a step side bed and classic Chevy truck good looks. Not only is this truck capable of hauling loads, but it's also capable of hauling ass with the newly found power of a Jegs 350ci V8 crate engine with under 1,000 miles on it. In need of some TLC on the exterior, and a few mechanical issues to be addressed, then you can get your motor run-in, lookin' for adventure in whatever comes your way…born to be wild!

Exterior
This full size model of 1994 is bathed in teal metallic, has the factory galvanized steel panels, consistent gaps, but does present with inconsistency to the coloring along with invasive rust on the wheel arch of the driver's fender, both rocker panels and both cab corners. Dents and dings abound throughout the body and some areas of surface rust are showing on the leading edge of the hood. A chrome surround with a black ribbed insert grille has quad halogen headlights on its flanks, along with a shiny chrome bumper below which is highlighted by a black trim strip and black plastic lower air dam. Blacked out trim surrounds the windows and down low we note silver paint covering the lowers for a little extra pizazz. Bringing up the tail end we see a flareside bed with black rubber step inserts to help you get up and over the bed sides. A CHEVROLET badged tailgate rests between the cathedral style tail lights and just below is a slightly tarnished and rusted chrome bumper and tow hitch. Gazing into the bed reveals a used but not abused teal painted bed with a rubber bed floor liner to help keep your cargo put. Standard 15-inch Chevrolet aluminum wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 blackwall rubber adorn the 4 corners and add to the muscle look of this truck.

Interior
A swing of the doors reveals an intricate use of dark and light gray cloth and molded gray vinyl with some carpeted area on the bottoms, and many differing panels to make up just the doors. Inside is a gray broadcloth pattern 70/30 split bench seat stretching from door to door and this tuck and roll insert and smooth outer bolster covered seat is in excellent condition showing little wear. In front is the original factory configured gray molded vinyl dash with a charcoal instrument cluster using the square and rectangle design of the mid 1980's. In the center of the dash we see a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo. Slightly faded and stained gray carpet is on the floors under the black rubber mast and above is a teal steel roof, sans headliner.

Drivetrain
Under the hood in the unrestored engine bay we see a consignor stated Jegs 350ci V8 crate engine capable of making 305hp, however there is no documentation to support this claim. Our consignor states that this mill has only logged a mere 1,000 miles since its installation, but we do note some oil leaking from the valve covers. EFI is in charge of air and fossil delivery and bolted to the back is a 4L60E 4-speed automatic. This transmission sends power rearward to a 10-bolt axle to put the power to the pavement.

Undercarriage
Very clean and surface rust on some usual suspects, however very structurally sound even with the heavily surface rusted inside of the rear bumper. Power disc brakes up front, and power drums for the rear and we note a stock replacement single exhaust system handling the exhale. Providing the ride is an independent coil spring front suspension and rear leaf springs. All buttoned up and ready to haul.

Drive-Ability
She fired right up and was ready for a few ticks around the track and she was proven to work well. More than adequate acceleration and shifting, bias free panic stopping, and easy drive-ability. I did notice the A/C did not blow cold, the passenger's power window did not work and is in need of a new regulator, the windshield is cracked, the engine has a slight hesitation that our consignor states can be rectified with a 1996/97 Vortec fuel pump, and an issue in the title steering column causes the tail/brake lights not to illuminate.

Whether it be your main mode of transportation, or a second truck to show and go with, you are sure to have years of reliable service left in this truck once you perform a little TLC. Yes, it has some rust, but has great muscle truck styling cues that certainly make this a nice well thought out package. Go on, get to hauling.....ass!
