A Rods R Us build commissioned after the seller purchased the truck in 2020, carried out from March 2021 through June 2023 at a cost of over $50k. The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was installed in 2022 and fitted with twin 50mm Precision Turbo turbochargers, Holley Terminator X Max management, a Ron Davis radiator, and a front-mount aluminum intercooler. A rebuilt 4L80E automatic transmission with a D&P 3,000-rpm stall converter sends power to a 12-bolt rear end with a 3.73:1 TrueTrac differential. The digital odometer shows 1,800 miles since the build was completed.
