Vehicle Description
Clean and Mean. That's what this truck is. While the clean body
lines of a regular '89 Silverado look good, it takes a lot of time
and money to make them look this good. And the best part is, the
body is just the beginning. The interior saw its share of
customizing too and the engine has the mean part covered quite
effectively. Check it out.
Not sure what you will notice first from a distance. It will either
be that its lower, or its higher. The whole truck sits lower and
has an aggressive stance with big staggered wheels tucked up into
those fender wells. But that cowl induction hood is definitely
higher than it was to start with, kind of like they lowered the
rest of the truck around it by 3 inches. Either way you look at it,
it looks sweet in its custom Black paint with a Blue and Silver pin
stripe painted and clear coated on along the top edge of the body
line. Up front a custom chrome grill and bumper lead the way with a
blue Chevy bowtie in the center, followed by door handles that were
shaved to keep the look spotlessly clean and a tailgate that
received a shave too, moving the gate latch to the inside of the
bed, replacing it with a gold bowtie, and flanking it with Cadillac
taillights.
Open the door and you will find that plenty of time was invested
into customizing the interior too. The door panel sets the tone in
Gray with its pleated center panel and billet door pull surrounded
by smooth vinyl with horizontal accent lines top and bottom. The
comfortable bench seat gets the same treatment with a floating
console mounted in the middle. There is plenty of billet in the
dash starting with the steering wheel mounted on a tilt column
which sits in front of a shaved dash with billet vents directing
the air flow for the heat and A/C. A tall Lokar shifter rises out
of the floor and the passenger side of the dash has Chevrolet in
script riveted on. The power window switches are uniquely mounted
on the ceiling and there is a hidden FM/CD and iPod compatible
stereo that pumps the sound out through dual Rockford Fosgate amps
with subs and Infinity speakers for your listening pleasure.
Pop the hood and the show continues. There you will find a 5.3
liter V8 nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. The Chevrolet
orange MSD Airflow intake jumps right out at you and is
complemented by polished coil packs as well as A/C compressor and
receiver dryer. Everything is connected with a Painless Wiring
harness kit and a Trailblazer SS ECU with a Vengence racing program
calls the shots while an aluminum radiator keeps things running
cool. Hedman ceramic coated headers weave their way out the bottom
to a 2.5" stainless exhaust and a new master cylinder and booster
puts the clamps on drilled and slotted front rotors. Power flows
back through a 4-speed automatic transmission and a BellTech
suspension system lowers the truck down making it handle like a
dream. The rubber meets the road through 275/55R20s in the rear and
235/60 R18s in the front mounted on those sweet looking REV chrome
wheels.
