Ground-up build with an LS swap, fresh suspension, and a custom cabin.
This K5 came to us with plenty of potential — a straight-six with attitude and a cab that hadn't been touched — but a tired matte-black respray and a stance that wasn't dialed in yet. It had the bones of something special; it just needed a shop willing to finish the job properly.
We went ground-up: a full LS engine swap under the hood, a new suspension built around a proper lift and 35s to get the stance exactly right, and a two-tone blue-and-white respray with tons of body work and flush-mounted marker lights and gas cap for a cleaner factory-plus look. Inside, we built a completely custom cabin from scratch — hand-fabricated door panels and a center console, speaker boxes in a matching plaid, a color-matched engine bay, digital gauges, and a touchscreen console with backlit cup holders. Twenty-six months later it's as much a built interior as it is a built truck.
