Roadster Shop<\/a> built this 1976 Chevrolet K20 Silverado for a repeat customer to haul a horse trailer. Under the factory hood sits a turbocharged 6.6 L Duramax (LML) diesel V8 making 450 hp (330 kW) and 900 lb-ft (1220 Nm) of torque. The drivetrain uses an Allison A1000 five-speed transmission and GM 10.5-inch 14-bolt differential. The truck rides on Roadster Shop’s Legend Series chassis<\/a> with custom control arms and Fox remote reservoir coilovers in front. In back they installed a set of leaf-springs, Fox shocks, and helper bags. On each corner is a 17-inch wheel with 37-inch tires covering disc brakes front and back. Miranda Built<\/a> covered the 2020 Silverado 1500 seats and factory rear bench seat in leather and Alcantara. The interior also features the Silverado 1500 center console, Dakota Digital gauges, and Legend Series steering wheel. View more photos of the truck in the build album<\/a>. <\/p>\n
