To get things moving, the decision was to first bring the Silverado to a respectable height. Soupy handed this chore to himself. One of the first things he did was perform a super c-notch and box the rear frame section to allow the Chevy 12-bolt rear-end more room at low levels. With a few modifications, Soupy found himself ending with a 3:73 Ring and Pinion ratio in the rear-end as well.  Next on the agenda would be to bolt-up 2-inch Bell Tech spindles up front. After applying the new spindles, the experts from Airlift Technology installed a complete fast-bag set up to help get the beast of a truck up in a lick-ity split manner. To help the overall ride, Soupy then installed Monroe shocks on all four corners. To help control sway on drives to shows, Soupy supplied the stock sway bar with polyurethane bushings. For an added touch, the brake lines were replaced with steel braided lines.

  Now finding the Silverado laying flat, it was time to change up the look of the body. Starting with the front, Soupy replaced the grille with a '95 grille fixed with an A&Z mesh insert. The stock headlights were ditched and replaced with APC projector lamps and a CATZ zeta system. Working his way to the rear would take some skilled work, which was left up to Larry "Bones" Llmas of Goleta, California. To start off his work at hand, Larry began by bolting up a custom front bumper from Sir Michaels. Next, Larry filled all the seams behind the cab.
