1990 CHEVROLET 454 SS PICKUP

Details

This 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS pickup, originally delivered to an Ontario dealership, entered the registration fold in 2002. Acquired in July 2022 by the current owner from the original purchasing family, the 454 SS journeyed from its roots to Vancouver, Canada. Clad in an Onyx Black exterior with red cloth upholstery, this truck is propelled by a 7.4-liter V8 coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 3.73:1 locking rear differential. The 7.4-liter V8 engine, equipped with electronic fuel

injection, features an aftermarket oil-type air filter element and a JET Performance ECU chip. The exhaust system has been enhanced with a GM-style crossover pipe and a Flowmaster 3-inch American Thunder exhaust system. In preparation for the sale, the fuel pump was replaced, according to the seller. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission and a locking rear differential with a 3.73:1 axle ratio. Notable features include 15-inch six-hole wheels, fog lights, Bilstein shocks, an aftermarket exhaust system, a sliding rear window, air conditioning, cruise control and a factory Delco AM/FM stereo. The short-bed regular cab showcases silver and red Chevrolet and 454 SS decals, complemented by a front-air dam with fog lights, plastic side moldings, body-color mirrors and a sliding rear window. The seller notes yellowing on the factory vinyl tape behind the tires and in front of the bed, along with rock chips on the lower bodywork. Chrome 15-inch wheels with black hubcaps are shod with BFGoodrich tires. Braking duties are handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, with rear brake cylinder replacements in May 2022. The Performance Handling Package, standard on all 454 SS models, includes a front sway bar, quick-ratio steering and Bilstein gas shocks. Inside, the cabin features high-back bucket seats in Garnet Red cloth upholstery with striped inserts, extending to matching accents on the door panels. Creature comforts include cruise control, air conditioning, power windows and locks, a factory Delco AM/FM stereo with a cassette player and graphic equalizer, a locking center console and embroidered floor mats. The tilting steering column hosts a four-spoke steering wheel framing a 140-km/h speedometer and auxiliary gauges.
