Today's truck of the day is from Firehawk73's collection, and is Matchbox's 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab StepSide.

The Chevrolet Silverado (along with its GMC counterpart, the GMC Sierra), is the latest line of full-size pickup trucks from General Motors. The GMT800 Silverado/Sierra 1500 (light pickup trucks) were released in 1998 as 1999 models. The "classic" light-duty GMT400 C/K trucks were continued in production for that first year alongside the new models, and the Heavy-Duty GMT400 pickups (alongside the GMT400 SUVs) were continued through 2000, with the new GMT800 Silverado/Sierra HD (Heavy Duty) introduced in 2001.

There are a number of models of light-duty Silverados and Sierras, including the half-ton, SS, and Hybrid. The light-duty trucks generally use the 1500 name. They are available in three cab lengths, 2-door standard/regular cab, 4-door extended cab, and front-hinged 4-door crew cab Three cargo beds are available, including a 69.2 in short box, 78.7 in standard box, and a 97.6 in long box. The short box is only available with the extended or crew cab, and is the only option on the latter.

For the first year, only the regular cab and 3-door extended cab were available, along with the Vortec 4300 V6, Vortec 4800 V8, and the Vortec 5300 V8. A 4-door extended cab was added for 2000, and output on the 5.3 L engine increased to 285 hp and 325 lb ft torque.

I'm thinking this was only available in a premium MB line along with the Impala police car from the late 90s. A nice model from MB.

This was from the early 2000s, after the Premiere series became "Matchbox Collectibles." This was from a Texaco release, which included rubber tire versions of the Peterbilt tanker, GMC tow truck, and '97 Ford F150. I want to say there were six total, but I can't remember what else, so maybe it was a release of four???

A little more racking my brain, and I remember the '39 Chevy Sedan Delivery casting also in this release, so it would have been a release of six. The sixth, I am not 100% sure, but I think it may have been a Peterbilt heavy duty tow truck.

I was thinking Premiere line last night. Couldn't think of the name. Thanks for the clarification Dean.

Wow, what a looker. Dean keeps showing all this good stuff I don't have or have never seen. I can't resist this site and contributors like Dean, even though what he shows can drive me crazy. Excellent. :thumbup:
