Every so often we come across a build that is so jaw-droppingly cool that we just have to share it with our readers. This retro 2014 Silverado is just that. Created by Chuck Mallett of Mallett Cars, comes one of the coolest builds we have ever laid our eyes on. Styled to look like a 1970’s C10, coupled with around 800hp, gives you a piece of art that will make every truck-nut weak at the knees. It was so well put together, with such a keen detail, the truck came home from SEMA with the GM Design Award for Best Truck. Below is the complete build list, but if you want to see a very extensive article complete with plenty of great imagery, then I would highly suggest checking out TheBlock.com. (video below)
