1987 CHEVROLET SILVERADO DURAMAX ALLISON SHORT BED

1987 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 Description

Up for Purchase is the Project Nighttrain Silverado from PowerNation's television show, Truck Tech. This truck was built to be a Street Sport Truck, but with a twist. Instead of keeping the traditional small block it already had in it, or going with the now commonplace LS-swap, the decision was made to install an LB7 Duramax Diesel, along with the corresponding Allison 1000 transmission. It was built over several shows, and we are now through with what we wanted to do with the truck. It is still a PROJECT. It still needs work performed that wasn't deemed necessary for television. The paint that was on the Truck is "decent", and the color sprayed on the hood, roof, and rollpan that was scanned for match, has a bit more metallic in it, but is not readily visible or noticeable unless you are right up on the truck in full sun. Markers, tail lights, and trim have all been blacked out or tinted. There is no, and will not be any kind or warranty, or guarantee placed on this truck.
Here is what has been installed on Poject Nightrain:
