This is the way i think the silverado should be built. Parts are a mix between the stock silverado, custom silverado, parts box, and some scratch built items.

I started by removing the back half of the frame, scratch built a tube frame.

front fenders have been shaved for tire clearance and an exocage has been started on

Here is where i currently am on the project.

I wasn't happy with the rear tube work so i made it more to my liking, body has been apinted and rear chasis has been given a coat of flat black so i could see what it would look like.
