Ever since the beginning of the 1918 Chevrolet has produced some of America’s most reliable and hardworking pickup trucks. This amazing work horse is trusted by millions of men and women around the world. From hauling materials, working on the family farm, to towing other vehicles, Chevrolet trucks are powerful, trustworthy, and have an iconic brand name behind them.
Truck enthusiasts to this day, will prefer older model Chevrolet trucks because of the slick looks, powerful engines which include: 350 cubic inch V8, the powerful LS platform engines (4.8l, 5.3l, 6.0l and 6.2l powerplants), and for those who need large horsepower and torque, Chevrolet produces trucks with diesel engines too. Electric is becoming a major trend in the automobile industry, and rumor has it, Chevrolet is designing an electric powered Silverado as well.
The first Chevrolet truck was built in my hometown of Flint, MI back in 1918. In the beginning, they sported an engine with a governor of 25mph. Eventually later on in the 1930’s, due to demand, Chevrolet started producing panel trucks, and box trucks too. 1940’s Chevrolet redesigned its half ton trucks to appeal to younger generations. Broad lines, smooth panels, and comfortable interior was just the beginning.
Chevrolet even started to produce smaller more compact style trucks called the El Camino, which holds a special place in the hearts of many. They manufactured two generations of the Chevrolet El Camino, from 1968-1972, and 1973-1977. The final El Camino rolled off the line in 1987, and has not been produced since. Fans in Australia, and America have begged for the El Camino to be revived, but nothing so far is in the works.
A revolution started in the 2000’s when Chevrolet produced the Silverado’s that had the LS engine platform. Bringing more power to a fuel injected V8 engine. LS engines are special, and are swapped in the various models of Silverado’s and vehicles everyday. Simplicity is a favorite, and like most Chevrolet vehicles the parts can be interchangeable. Our salvage yard specializes in LS swaps, bringing affordable and reliable engines and transmissions to our Chevrolet loving base. Our swaps include the engine, transmission, ECM, wiring harness, and factory mounts. All engines and transmissions are thoroughly tested and inspected before we pull them.
