The Chevrolet C/K series of pickup trucks will forever go down in history as an American establishment. This workmanlike series of trucks is responsible for helping millions of Americans enrich their livelihoods. The C/K series is no longer around, as the Silverado succeeded it. Hence, it's become a desirable classic and a legacy of the American spirit. A shining example of that spirit can be found in this 1991 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado 454 SS. As you slide behind the wheel of this 49,678-mile example, you'll realize that, hey, there are some luxury features too. And that's before we get into what's under the hood. Read on to discover why it's worthy of serious consideration and a place in your garage.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a straight black coat, this 1991 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado 454 SS has stood the test of time, thirty-two years to be exact. It's got a nice set of polished and dished wheels that we observe to be wearing BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The front features the signature stacked dual headlamps that were introduced for the fourth generation of the C/K series, replete with dual indicator lamps. You've also got the red bowtie Chevy emblem proudly placed at the center of the grille. Atop all this sits an aftermarket hood with dual scoops. As if all this isn't enough, there's even a set of smaller fog lamps in the front bumper. Come to the side, and your eye will immediately be drawn to the 454 SS decals, telling you that there's a brawny powerplant on offer. Inside, you'll find a red cloth interior with two seats, split by a center console box with cup holders. There are some surprising luxury features to be found within this truck, stuff you just wouldn't expect on a pickup truck from the Eighties and Nineties. Let's start with the climate control system that features a VFD display. Then, there are power windows and power door locks. Finally, we find a premium Delco head unit with an auto-reverse cassette tape player and even a five-band equalizer. Surprising, indeed, for a pickup truck.

Engine

This 1991 Chevrolet Silverado C1500 454 SS packs a 7.4L 454ci V8 under its hood, which is more than enough to provide all the performance you'd want. The current owner reports that it's received new headers and exhales through a dual exhaust set-up. The drive is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential.
