Details

This 1966 Chevrolet Suburban Resto-Mod is powered by a Chevrolet LS 5.3-liter V8 engine mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end with 3.42 gears. The exterior is finished in Gunmetal Gray and black with two doors, the long panels and wide windows down each flank and a traditional liftgate/tailgate setup out back. This Suburban also features modern power steering and Wilwood power front and rear disc brakes. The big black grille, combined with the chrome bumpers, door handles and mirrors, enhances the High-Impact Gray and black finish even more. This car also features LED headlights and LED taillights. The completely black custom interior features a stitched power bucket seat, and a central console, that fit nicely in the front cabin and were upholstered in two-tone patterns. The back seat was finished to match, and side panels with integrated cup holders were made. The ornate door and side panels were upholstered to match the theme as well. Inside the dash, also painted to match the truck's interior, there are a custom LED digital dash and a wood-rimmed billet steering wheel. The headliner is covered in matching black and appears high-end. This custom Suburban rides on a 4-inch drop coupled with a new suspension and shocks, vintage rims and newer Goodyear tires. The interior of this Suburban also features a sound system priced at $44,700. The interior was removed and treated with sound dampening materials. The system starts with a new Kenwood Head Unit which includes a 6-inch midbass, a 3-inch midrange, and a 1-inch tweeter. The tweeter and midrange have been installed in custom-fabricated A-Pillars. The cargo section was finished to match the rest of the truck and a custom enclosure was fabricated to house (3) Arc Audio 12-inch subwoofers, four Arc Audio amplifiers, an Arc Audio digital signal processor (DSP), as well as a spare battery, and a separate fuse panel behind easy-to-access compartments.
