DESCRIPTION
1992 Chevrolet C1500 Short Bed Sport Pickup
For consignment, a 1992 Chevrolet C1500 short bed sport pickup with true mileage unknown. This is a fully built short bed with a dyno proven 1,088 horsepower. Other than the door panels and sheet metal, there\'s not much left stock on the blue bowtie, and several film names come to mind when you see this truck. Beauty and the Beast. Blue Thunder. Fast and Furious.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*
Exterior
A slight NASCAR truck series stance graces this truck, low and lean and a cowled hood provides a clue to its non stock status. Straight gleaming panels are bedecked in Medium Blue Metallic two stage paint with a chrome framed eggcrate grille wearing a matching blue bowtie greet us at first glace. The clean tailgate wears a Chevrolet logo with a red bowtie that picks up on the tail lights and it\'s all over a smooth roll pan. The truck hunkers down on 18-inch Rocket Racing wheels with 305/40/R18 Nitto drag radials with date codes of late 2020 and late 2021. Door handles and sport mirrors also wear blue, while a front air dam houses a pair of wide set fog lights. The clean bed is rhino coated and along with a ding in the bed, the only other imperfections on the truck are a couple spots of paint run.
Interior
Sharply contrasting burgundy guts start with the standard door panels, crushed velour panels over carpeted lowers that mold into a storage bin while gray rubber coated switches live in the black bezel by the handle. Black vinyl and suede Corbeau racing seats occupy both positions and standard three point seat belts are provided. The Sparco steering wheel fronts the Holley EFI screen on the dash which replaces any semblance of factory gauges. A touchscreen AM/FM radio in a modern touch to the center of the dash and falls under a dash pad that\'s weathered and cracked. Red carpet covers the floor and surrounds the black topped Hurst shifter, and the rug shows some age but is also nice in some areas, while the felt headliner is sagging a bit and has a tear.
Drivetrain
And now for what you\'ve all been waiting for. Under the cowled hood is a fuel injected, turbocharged 6.0 liter LS V8 with the following modifications: a LQ4 block bored that has been bored 030 over, a forged K1 crank, Thompson heavy H-Beam rods, forged CP flat top pistons, a BTR Stage 5 turbo cam, ARP 2000 hardware, billet timing gears, an ATI super damper, and a custom 88mm turbo kit and S485. The heads are PRC 220 As cast 64cc heads fitted with Texas Speed pushrods, BTR shaft rockers, and LS7 lifters. It\'s mated to a Tremec Magnum T56 6-speed manual that sends power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Brakes consist of a Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood power disc fronts and rear drums. The engine bay is clean and tidy and the big turbo wears a heat jacket.
Undercarriage
Clean and dry underneath with minimal spots of surface rust and no errant fluids. Headers start the exhaust process which quickly merges into one stainless system that goes through mufflers and quickly dumps under the truck with an out facing tip. There is no catalytic converter present. The wastegate has an exit route as well with a smaller pipe, also under the truck. Rack and pinion steering is on board and suspension consists of front coil overs and leaf springs with Caltracs bars in back.
Drive-Ability
We\'re going to feather this beast onto the tarmac and try not to spin the tires. The exhaust note is music to our ears, especially as our aging ears block the higher frequencies and all that\'s left is the sweet, raucous idle of 1,000 horses underfoot. The racing seats and low ride gives one a sense of surefootedness and the truck tracks, handles, and stops very well, at least from legal speeds. On our checklist of functionality, we find the horn does not work, the A/C has been removed, and the power locks are finicky. Beyond that, all operations work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
There used to be a giant woodpecker that lived in the south that was so impressive both in sound and sight, that biologists would exclaim, \"Lord God, look at that bird!\" and so the bird became known as the Lord God bird. With no blasphemy intended, this is the Lord God truck, a ground pounding blue brick that\'s capable of 1,088 horsepower with an impressive and tasteful external presentation. The heartbeat of America beats strong, and it\'s found under this Chevy\'s hood!
