For sale in our Orlando showroom is an awesome 1979 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. This muscle truck will throw you back in your seat, in every gear! This 79' Silverado for sale is packed with a stoutly built 400 cubic inch small block Chevy V8. The build was thorough, built in 2008 with top end parts, including: 202 bow tie heads, 1.8 Harland Sharp roller rockers, SCAT crank, .030 over pistons, Crane Cam (Comp Xtreme 4x4 511-560 lift duration), aluminum valve covers, performance aluminum intake, aluminum oil pan, Pete Jackson timing gears, Holley 600 CFM carburetor, full serpentine style belt system, and Accel high output distributor and ignition system. Accessories compliment the build, including: Electric fuel pump, ice cold air conditioning, electric cooling fans, and power steering. With only 11,500 miles on the engine since the rebuild, it's just broken in! On the engine dyno, this mouse motor put out an astonishing 498 horsepower at 4,800 RPM! This 1979 Chevy c10 for sale is a 500 horsepower sleeper! It's made four passes at the local track and made consistent passes of 11.2 in the quarter mile, on radial tires! With sticky tires, this C10 for sale would be a 10 second truck! This truck is fast AND furious! It has been meticulously taken care of, specifically lubricated all of its life with MOBIL1 15-50 full synthetic. It's finished with headers and a full 2.5" dual Flowmaster exhaust. It's backed by a turbo 350 automatic transmission. The freshly built transmission has only 1,500 on the build. It was built just as heartily as the engine, with a shift kit and a RU 1800 stall converter. The power is thrown to the ground via a 3.73 geared 10-bolt rear end. This two wheel drive bruiser looks great with the high stance and aftermarket 15”X10” wheels and Cooper Cobra radial tires. It's even fitted with dual tanks, so you can tear up the street and the strip for extended amounts of time. This pickup is coated in a beautiful shade of Dodge Viper blue paint, that catches the attention of everyone who passes. The driver quality paint looks proper on the truck and gives every passerby a hint that there's a little more to this C10, than your momma's standard small block Chevy. A fiberglass Hardwood 4.5" cowl hood, tonneau cover, and roll pan rear bumper really adds to the muscle truck look. Don’t let the cool looks of this Chevy fool you though; it comes fully equipped with double walled construction, heavy duty springs and a hitch in case you have another classic to haul. Many individuals and owners alike do not realize these square bodied, real world, pickup trucks were actually dubbed the “Rounded Line” by General Motors designers. New styling features included curved glass, rooflines, bed corners and tail lights. It was also thought this would improve highway aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Options include: Vinyl interior, seat belts, AM/FM stereo with CD player, air conditioning, power locks, power windows, telescopic tilt wheel, power steering and power front disc brakes. As you look at the photos you’ll see this truck is loaded with additional add-ons. This muscular 79' Chevy C10 for sale is a cruiser and a bruiser! A real wolf in sheep's clothing, it will put many a Mustang, Corvette, and MOPAR to shame. For more information please call our Orlando showroom at (407)771-2000.
