OK folks. I'll throw my hat in the ring with my bone stock 454SS Silverado with a wheel & tire swap. This is as close to stock as I dare build.
These trucks have always been an interest of mine as they were a sleek looking truck with an out with an "in your face" and bold appearance. Although not fast by any means with 230 horsepower, they were aggressive looking, were among the fastest O.E.M. trucks out there at the time and they set the stage for the muscle trucks that followed in the years to come. It took me around 5 months to complete this one with most of the challenges being paint and the ending assembly of installing the body onto the frame. With a few pitfalls to work around it was a good kit to work with overall.

Great looking truck! The wheels are a period perfect "day two" mod.
