1979 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 Fly-N-Hi Monster Truck Silverado Show Truck
This 1979 Silverado Show Truck has been in a personal collection for many years. Recently was taken out of storage and gone through.
These trucks are hard to come by in this condition, yet alone the custom ones from the era. Here's your chance to own a piece of the 80's crazy show truck history.
The build was commissioned in the beginning of '85 and finished just in time for the second annual Fly-N-Hi and 4-Wheeler Dealers River Run, held Sept. 21-22 in Phoenix.
The truck had a full detailed article with pictures in the '86 issue of Four Wheeler and other articles in the '85 issue of 4WD Action and Off Road America.
Just to be featured in any magazine is a huge honor and speaks highly of the trucks build quality. This truck has 66,338 original miles and looks today as good as when featured in the magazines.
The engine is a Chevrolet 350 cubic inch, with Edelbrock intake manifold and Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor. The transmission is a turbo 350 with shift kit. Both the engine and transmission have been serviced. No leaks. Custom headers with baffled side pipes, not too loud.
New heavy duty radiator, new fuel lines, fuel filters, vacuum lines. Engine and transmission oil changed.
The truck runs cool, barely gets to a 1/4 mark on the temp gauge.
Excellent oil pressure. New battery installed earlier this year. New air filter installed last week.
Custom length steel braided brake lines.
4x4 works as it should.
The suspension is awesome. It features a High Country lift with new shocks, shackles and a dual stabilizer.
It has been re geared, the gears are 4.56 made by Richmond. The hubs are custom Lock Out style. The suspension and all attaching hardware is like new condition. Nice glossy black paint throughout the axles, differential covers, drive shafts, etc...
Like new Irok Super swamper radials, 39.5x13.5x15 with like new alloys.
The paint is original on the truck. The 5 color graphics were painted on using Emron based paint, durable and expensive as its used to paint aircrafts of the era. The custom stainless and chrome all in good condition. Some areas show slight use and pitting due to age.
The truck has been outfitted with various off road lights. A combination of KC and Dick Cepek lights can be found on the brush guard, front bumper, the top kick bar and underneath the truck facing backwards. They're all wired to different KC switches of the era.
The interior is original with some period correct accesories. The upholstery on the bench seat is perfect. The dash has no cracks on it.
The carpeting is clean but it is sun bleached at certain spots. The door cards are in really great shape with good factory trim all around.
Custom dual sunroof, no leaks. CB antenna hookup on the roof. Porsche leather perforated headliner from the era.
All the gauges work, with the exception of the clock. Speedometer has been calibrated and reads correct speed.
Really cool Lecarra leather wrapped steering wheel with great patina on the leather.
The AC system has been pressure tested and recharged with R134 refrigerant.
Pioneer blutooth radio with 6x9 speakers in the doors.
