STEVE PALMER’S ’12 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS BEEN GIVEN NEW LIFE AND SOME CUSTOM STYLE FROM LITTLE SHOP MFG. The Silverado lays frame on 26-inch wheels. To make it so, the suspension has been spruced up with a host of updates from an Ekstensive front kit to KP Components 4-link in the rear and KP Watts-link, which makes side-to-side movement practically nonexistent. The Accuair e-level has been molded to the dash, giving Steve control over his air springs with the touch of a button. Sixteen-inch Wilwood brakes in the front and rear mean Steve’s always in control. Giving the Silverado a solid base to stand on are three-piece Billet Specialties from its 64 Series wrapped in Pirelli 305/30/26 tires.

On the exterior, a new Snugtop RL bed cover caps the Line-x-lined,

notched bed. The truck has been resprayed with Sikkens BMW Black paint. Splash guards were added to the front and rear inner fenders to keep the build clean. The Silverado also features a Little Shop MFG engine-driven compressor as well as a VIAIR backup compressor and a 7-gallon tank. Inside, the entertainment system has been upgraded to an Alpine system
