2001 Chevy Silverado - Texas Gator

Knowing that more alligator detailing was just too attractive to pass up, Cesar arranged for the interior to be taken a few steps further into the bayou. The dash was ripped out, smoothed, and painted to match the exterior. A dose of pinstriping was also added to the glove- box door, which appeals to the lovers of classic hot-rod style. The tan leather seats and billet steering wheel have been upgraded with impressive gator accents that were executed by McAllen, Texas', Palma's Upholstery. To better complete the cab's all-around threatening attitude, Aggressive Sound wired up a Pioneer head unit, along with two 10-inch JL Audio W6 subs and Planet Audio mids, highs, and amplification. Fiberglass kick panels and a rear enclosure have been expertly fabricated and fit flawlessly with the look and feel of the clean interior space. A Dakota Digital gauge has also been installed in the center console to inform Cesar of the air levels with an around-the-clock, easy to read display.

When the time finally came for Cesar to consider his truck finished, he had spent five years' worth of sweat and determination, and at just about double the cost of the truck's original sticker price. To a longtime fan and previous owner of custom trucks, neither of those two factors can be considered negative. Cesar is proud to have his gator-inspired rig completed and immortalized in the pages of Truckin'. Cesar extends his gratitude to his wife, brother, parents, and everyone else in Ground Zero that kept him motivated along the way.
