Chevy Silverado 1500 Performance Modifications

Silverado was a wickedly popular 1985 American Western film directed by Lawrence Kasdan featuring a big-money ensemble cast. It is highly likely that the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was inspired by that movie, as the term Silverado has no other definitive origin. One of the top-selling vehicles in the entire General Motors line-up, the Silverado got its first major redesign in 1999 and then again in 2007.
