2007 Chevy Silverado - Readers' Rides

Shain Bakos from Whitecourt, Alberta, lifted his '07 Silverado 2500HD Duramax 2 inches to fit his 305/55R20 Toyos on Jesse James Lawless 8 wheels. He admitted that a little inner-fender massaging was necessary to eliminate any rubbing, but now the truck looks like it has wheels and tires to fit the heavy hauler. Shain also gave the bumper and Bushwacker fender flares a coat of ArmorThane, which got rid of some of the factory chrome.

Sean Stuart's '03 Silverado dualie is a little deceptive. The front bumper and blacked-out look, combined with 22-1/2-inch low-profile rubber on Brentz wheels, make the Silverado a dead-ringer for a "what if" SS heavy hauler. The SS brake cooling ducts hide foglights, but the rest of the exterior stays true to the disguise.

Brad Lee's '94 Silverado is powered by a rebuilt 350ci V-8 with a Lunati cam, a Flowmaster exhaust, and a rebuilt 700-R4 transmission. Billet accents under the hood and inside of the cab add some flash and match the 20-inch Limited wheels. Body mods include a Sir Michael's roll pan and a cowl-induction hood. Next up for the Chevy is a custom paintjob.

Eddie Sosa has a great-looking '01 GMC, but he has even bigger plans in store for it. He has a good start with Hot Rod Flatz Burnt Orange paint, by Silva's Auto Body, and a frame-laying stance with 22-inch Intro Twisted Vista wheels. The Denali front-end conversion didn't hurt either, but Eddie wants to shave the truck and add a custom two-tone paintjob from Kustom Auto in Houston, Texas, to finish his truck.

Rick Dudek's '95 F-150 was built in his driveway with some help from his friends. Rick's first addition was a K&N intake and a Flowmaster exhaust, which were soon followed by a B&M shift kit. A little ingenuity got the grille guard from a Dodge Ram to bolt up to the Ford, and a spare tire rack and rollbar for a Ford Ranger was convinced to fit, as well. JVC provides the tunes, and a sunroof lets the sun in.

Waconia, Minnesota, resident Derek Jensen bought his '06 Silverado and soon added 20-inch Panther wheels, Falken tires, custom pinstriping, and a Putco chrome kit-including door handles. Westin taillight guards and step bars add more chrome. For a boost in power, Derek added a K&N intake and a Superchips programmer. The interior is on deck, as Derek hopes to add a DVD head unit soon.
