BIG improvement, I'd love to own a truck like that!, but with winters what we have here, I'd have to lift it.

The gate is off of a silverado SS that was wrecked. I just took off the cladding strip on the bottom. I've been thinking about taking the badge off, but I like hearing people cry about it. There isn't any on the sides, and having it on the back adds a little color to it. I like this truck way more then the SSS in 04' that was only AWD at the time. That kind of truck is no use to me. I drag race the **** out of this truck.

Plans for the truck way down the road is a complete custom frame and a small twin turbo setup when i get some down time at the shop.
