GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this unique 2004 Chevrolet Silverado finished in authentic Forest Service Green over a Tan cloth interior. This truck stands out immediately thanks to its official Department of Agriculture Forest Reserve heritage, complete with period decals across the body and a mounted Forest Service fire helmet displayed in the rear window. The purposeful green paint gives it a true government service look, while the single cab short bed configuration keeps the truck compact and functional. Cleanly preserved throughout its life, it presents as a fascinating piece of U.S. Forest Service history.

Power comes from the dependable 4.8L V8 paired with a desirable 5 speed manual transmission and a capable 4x4 drivetrain. This configuration makes the truck both engaging to drive and highly practical for off road or trail use. According to information provided, the truck was originally ordered for Forest Service “Hot Shot” fire trail patrol duty. However, rather than being heavily worked in the field, it was reportedly kept relatively clean and used for upper management transportation, which helps explain the truck's preserved condition today. The gauge cluster has been replaced at some point in its life, but the truck otherwise remains a highly authentic example of a government service vehicle.

Inside, the cabin is simple and purposeful, exactly what you would expect from a truck ordered for government field use. Tan cloth seating provides durability and comfort, while crank windows keep the truck mechanically straightforward and easy to maintain. Interestingly, the truck was originally ordered with red dash illumination, a special feature designed to reduce glare in heavy smoke or nighttime fire operations. Dual climate control is also present, offering a bit of additional comfort compared to many work trucks of the era.

What truly sets this Silverado apart is its believed rarity. It is thought to be a one of one configuration ordered by the United States Forest Service as a short bed, 4x4, 5 speed manual truck specifically for patrol and support duties. Government fleet vehicles with documented service roles are becoming increasingly collectible, especially when they remain visually tied to their original purpose. This truck offers a rare chance to own a distinctive piece of forestry and firefighting history that also happens to be a capable and enjoyable pickup to drive today.
