PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Fixable?

 

You're good, I just took it for a quick spin.

​

 

Should have seen what I did with it before @ChadsPride drove it

 

​

 

Is it a McLaren?

 

Yes

 

Yup

This truck is NOT a 454SS, but the owner (1-owner truck; original owner) special ordered it back in 1993 to look just like a 454SS. It has the same chassis/suspension as a 454SS, but it has a 350 and 3.73 posi rear (454SS had 4.10s). It even had the same wheels as the 454SS originally!

Same truck photographed at two different shows, about a month apart...

I’d still drive the wheels off that thing

 

FULLY LOADED!

350cid/auto, ICE COLD A/C (still R-12 according to the owner), cruise, tilt, AM/FM stereo cassette with graphic equalizer, power windows, power locks, trailering special package...

The stuff dreams are made of for any GMT-400 fan!

 

Add Z71 and we good

 

But it's a 2WD...

 

I’m just saying if it were 4wd it would be mo betta

This truck was originally special ordered by a guy I know named Peter who owns a landscaping company, and I got permission from the second owner (who owns a driveway sealcoating company) to come onto his property and take pictures (I forget how I came into contact with the guy, but he said to come to his place anytime I wanted and take pics, so I leapt at the opportunity)...

The blue dually is a 1997 Cheyenne (base) 4x4 model, with 350cid/automatic/posi rear, A/C, cruise, tilt, and cassette player...

I loooooooove it. Those are some damn good trucks. That body design is one of my favs

 

@Iamraiderpower

This is what Peter the landscaping guy replaced the '97 Cheyenne dually with...

It's a fully loaded 2002 Silverado LS 3500 4x4, with the 6.6L Duramax and Allison automatic transmission. He had to special-order it, because no dealer in the area had a loaded regular cab dually 4x4 in stock...

If you look closely at the last picture, you can see my Taco in totally stock form. This was before it even had the Pioneer stereo, and it probably had like 22K miles on the clock at the time!

A 1995 Chevrolet K3500 Silverado 4x4, described by the owner as a "Redneck Pimpmobile"...

This truck had the 350, and it's a 1995, so unfortunately it has TBI. However, it has an NV4500 5-speed!
