Standard cab, short bed pickups are the preferred body style for hot rodders looking to build a muscle truck. The proportions just look so right, and the reasonable size makes them more fun to drive (and easier to park) than one with a big cab and long bed. Here we have an incredible custom build of a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 which resulted in a gorgeous, fast, comfortable and eye-catching muscle truck. The pristine body was given the custom paint treatment by Lucky 7 Paint and Body out of Antioch, CA. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and the beautiful orange and gray two-tone treatment, separated by orange and purple flames, speaks volumes. Those custom colors weren't just shot over a bone stock body, Nope, the Silverado sports a number of tasteful, eye-catching body upgrades that include a steel cowl hood, a power-operated hard tonneau cover, and a C5 Corvette-inspired rear roll pan / taillights / central exhaust outlets. A set of 22-inch forged alloy wheels add to the truck's awesome stance. Inside, there is custom plush leather upholstery featuring Corvette logos embroidered on the headrests and floor mat. Both sides have power adjustment and a flame motif on the door panels ties in with the exterior treatment. An upgraded Alpine AM/FM/CD audio system provides the tunes. Under the hood there is a Whipple supercharged 5.3-liter V8 powerhouse matched to a beefed-up 4L60E automatic transmission that features an ATI torque converter and a Jet Powershift Plus control module. That muscular powertrain sends the power to a 4.10-geared Eaton Positraction rear end. The suspension and brakes were also upgraded so in addition to acceleration that'll pin you to the seat, this truck also handles the curves well thanks to the lowered suspension upgrades featuring respected Belltech components. Power disc brakes at all four corners provide strong and confident braking power. Incredible to see, hear and drive and in like-new condition with just 8,226 pampered miles, this customized Silverado leaves nothing to be desired.
