Award Winner

This beauty has many accolades to its name, including the 2019 LMC Goodguys Truck of the Year Late Finalist award at the Southeastern Nationals; Charlotte, NC. The truck also made it to the top 25 at Shades of the Past Hot Rod Roundup ahead of 2,800 other competitors.

Powertrain

Breathing life into this C10 is a 525 horsepower, fuel-injected LS3 V8 engine. It's paired with a Speedmaster side-draft velocity stack fuel injection system and sends everything to the rear through a 4L60E automatic transmission.

Handling

This might be a 'show truck', but it's not all show. A Currie 9-inch rear end paired with RideTech adjustable coilovers, strong arms, and a tubular cross member keep this C10 flat around corners. All these aftermarket parts have been fitted to a custom chassis.

Brakes

Bringing everything to a brisk halt are four Wilwood disc brakes that bite down on drilled and slotted rotors. These are all necessary additions when you've got 525 horsepower under the hood.

Style

The PPg Switchblade Silver paint job by R&R Paint is a real head-turner. Once you work your way to the back, your attention will be fixed to the smoothed tailgate and expertly finished wood bed floor.

Interior

The inside of this truck is arguably more impressive than its exterior. The custom brown leather interior by Allen Carswell of Pro Interiors and tops perfectly contrasts the silver paint job. Reworked BMW M5 seats keep the occupants secure while a custom dash panel with Dakota Digital instruments feed the driver information.

Wheels

The 22-inch rear and 20-inch front Billet Specialties wheels are stand out features that help this truck achieve its aggressive stance. These rims are wrapped by Toyo low-profile Redline tires.
