Two-Tone Goodness
Acquired in 2020, the truck underwent a comprehensive refurbishment, both inside and out. The exterior now boasts a striking dual-tone red and black scheme, complemented by chrome bumpers, tinted windows, custom headlights, taillights, and a dual exhaust. Interestingly, a novel addition is a supplementary bench seat designed for the truck bed, although its appeal to potential buyers remains uncertain.
Powerful Stance
Sporting 20-inch wheels with Kanati Trail Hog A/T-4 tires, this K20 Silverado showcases an elevated suspension, exuding a commanding heavy-duty presence.
Cozy Cab
Inside, the cabin exudes sophistication with red leather upholstery, accentuated by black quilted inserts extending to the door panels. Creature comforts include air conditioning, power windows and locks, a four-spoke steering wheel, digital fuel level gauges, a Kenwood stereo, and an audio setup comprising a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer, Kicker, JBL, and Polk speakers.
LQ9 Swap
The centerpiece of this customized truck is its robust powertrain – a 6.0-liter LQ9 Vortec V8. Enhanced with a dual air intake, FiTech fuel injection, tubular exhaust headers, aftermarket camshaft, Edelbrock ECU, and a striking red engine cover, this powerplant not only delivers on aesthetics but promises impressive performance, although exact figures remain undisclosed.
