Description
The truck is powered by a 5. 3-liter Vortec V8 equipped with an LS6 intake manifold, Holley Sniper EFI, a Tick Performance camshaft, and Doug Thorley headers, and it rides on a coilover suspension and 20â?³ Avant Garde wheels mounted over Wilwood disc brakes. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a modified four-speed automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt differential. The truck wears a worn light green finish and the pickup bed was raised and fitted with modified wheelhouses, dark wood slats, and stainless-steel runners. The cabin is outfitted with a Snowden bench seat trimmed in diamond-quilted brown leather with Sparco harnesses, and further details include a tilting billet steering wheel, a Lokar shifter, Dakota Digital gauges, and a Sony touchscreen head unit. The truck features a Wideside bed and wears a worn light green finish, and a ceramic coating has been applied over the corrosion and exposed primer. LED exterior lighting was fitted during the build along with dual side mirrors, and close-up photos of the finish and imperfections are provided in the gallery. The pickup bed is fitted with modified wheelhouses and a raised bed floor finished in black with stainless-steel runners. Bronze-finished Avant Garde 20â?³ wheels feature satin-brushed and clear-coated barrels and are mounted with Nitto NT555 G2 tires measuring 245/35 in front and 315/35 out back. The truck rides on a lowered suspension with Aldan American coilovers, a four-link rear setup, tubular front control arms, and a front sway bar.
