1990 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While the idea of a muscle truck seems somewhat commonplace these days, it is easy to forget that this concept as a factory-produced vehicle was unheard of 35 years ago. This incredible 1990 Chevrolet Silverado 454 SS represents the Generals introduction to this (then) newly created niche. Using a C1500 short bed as its foundation, this truck was adorned with a big block and, for its inaugural year, came in any color you wanted, so long as you wanted it in black. Fully repainted, this particular truck comes with its specific 454 SS and Chevrolet tailgate logo in their factory placements.

Inside, we find an inviting and original-looking Dark Red cloth interior. A center console separates a pair of plush bucket seats, while power locks and mirrors, cruise control, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/Cassette player provide all the modern amenities available in an early-1990s truck.

Under the hood is where this 454 SS pickup earns its Super Sport badge. A naturally aspirated 454 cubic-inch V-8 engine that utilized an iron block and heads, along with throttle body injection. Widely rumored to be underrated, this 7.4-liter big block produced a still-impressive 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque when it was new. This particular truck has been upgraded with a full dual-exhaust setup featuring a cat delete, replacing the original Y-pipe. That big power is routed through a beefed-up TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the 3.73-geared Positraction rear end.
