ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The upgraded 5.3-liter LS V8 was installed in summer 2022 and reportedly has accrued 60K miles including mileage in its donor vehicle. It is fed from a Boyd fuel tank underneath the bed with an in-tank pump and newer lines. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission and a rebuilt rear end with a 3.08 ratio.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The suspension uses Belltech components both front and rear. The chassis and trailing arms were powder coated at the time of restoration, and steering is power-assisted. The braking system has new lines and uses a front disc setup with rear drums. Photos showing the underside are available in the carousel.
