1996 Chevy C1500 Project, Part IV

In the continuing series of buildup and tech articles featuring our Project Daily Driver 1996 Chevy three-door Extended Cab truck, we bring you the completion of last installment’s numerous body modifications. All the alterations we made were done to enhance the truck’s already outstanding good looks. Since we’re in the business of promoting and preaching about slammed, dumped, radical sport trucks, we knew if we didn’t make ours look as good as some of the country’s finest sport trucks, we’d get bags of hate mail. To prevent our mail room from becoming severely frustrated over reader complaint cards, we made numerous modifications to Project Daily Driver, using ideas gleaned from the hottest truck shows across the country. So we assembled some industry heavyweights to help us complete our monumental task of turning Project Daily Driver into a roadworthy terror.

Completion

Body modifications start and end with good products. Simply put, if the products aren’t constructed of the highest quality, the overall effect will be mediocre. Fortunately, we didn’t suffer from poor-product ills since we used a set of Street Scene Equipment’s hot new electric Cal-Vu sport mirrors, a smooth wiper cowl from Trader’s Truck Accessories, a flush-mounted Checker Products CheckMate tonneau cover, a smooth steel bumper from Stylin’ Concepts, and extensive paint and custom bodywork by L&G Enterprises. Without the efforts of these companies and individuals, our Project Daily Driver wouldn’t be the really radical daily driver it is. Follow along on our expansive coverage of the body modifications that took place at L&G.
