To show off their “Slammed” version of their 1973-1987 C10 SPEC chassis the team at Roadster Shop took a worn 1976 Chevy C10 truck and installed one under it along with a lot of other goodies.
As mentioned before the truck received one of their 1973-1987 C10 SPEC chassis. These come in two versions a regular ride height and a slammed version. The slammed version will allow you to put the rockers on the ground.
The chassis comes with their SPEC independent front suspension, power steering rack, and parallel 4-bar rear with HD lower arm. The chassis rides on an AccuAir air suspension with E-level system and dual compressors.
Under the hood sits Texas Speed & Performance built 408 ci LSx V8 that produces 580 horsepower. They start with a LQ9 block and add TS&P forged 4.00″ stroke crank, TS&P forged 6.125″ rods, Wiseco 4.03″ bore pistons, TS&P hardened pushrods, TS&P custom grind hydraulic-roller cam, and Precision Race Components As-Cast 225 cc Cathedral-Port heads.
Behind the engine sits a GM 4L65-E four-speed automatic transmission connected to a Ford 9″ rear end with 31 spline axles.
The team put the finishing touch on the project with a set of custom Forgeline wheels designed by Roadster Shop.

Badass is it for sale…..??
I am not sure. I suggest calling the Roadster Shop.
I know for sure that the intake is not an LS2 intake. I’m not exactly sure what it is, but i’m pretty sure that intake manifold is a Holley EFI LS Mid-Rise manifold. the fuel rails are Edelbrock, but there aren’t any Edelbrock intake manifolds that look like that with fuel rail mounts and made for LS engines.
You are correct. That is not a “LS2 intake”. I don’t know where I got that information. I do believe it is a Edelbrock Victor Series manifold. You can view a few here http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/manifolds/chevy/victor-ls.shtml. I removed any reference to the intake in the article since I am not 100% sure.
Love the wheels what sizes are they ? & where can I get something like that I have a 75 C10 silverado
