Hello, hope everyone is doing great!



This Silverado we have been working on for almost a year

The owner was going to sell the truck for scrap
before taking the decision of the rebuild

He wanted a daily drive street truck
Yesterday actually was the first engine start after the rebuild!

Long story short

Engine and other modifications:

Texas speed lsx454 engine
4link suspension
4l60 upgraded trans by rpm transmission
And alot more!

All new oem gm parts + new interior

Sand blasted the chassis and repainted

Polishing stage:

Rupes 21 III Excel detailing 5in backing plate
Flex pxe80


Sonax cutmax - coarse wool pad
Griots fcc - griots white foam pad 3in
Finish:
Ex04-06 - Rupes yellow wool polishing pad / 3in foam yellow

I was planning on a third step specially when its
My first time using the Rupes yellow wool pad didn’t know what to expect . The finish turned much better than what I thought so an extra step wouldn’t add any


Some area where sanded to remove the orange peal textures 1500/2000/3000

This is just awesome! Reminds me of the Chevy 454 SS PU from the early 90’s, all blacked out and just sinister

Didn’t realize it had a 454. Should add those stickers to it

Bad ass. So someone goes from wanting to scrap it, to fully building the damn thing? Lmao. Love those trucks.
